To learn about the functions available at the top of the portal (My
Home, My Account, Log Off, Help, and Search), click here.
Use this page to explore all the documents in the portal. The Knowledge
Directory is similar to a Windows Explorer file system tree in that documents
are organized in folders and subfolders.
A folder can contain documents from various sources, as well as links
to people, portlets, and communities. If your administrator has given
you permission, you might also be allowed to add documents to the Knowledge
Directory, or submit yourself as an expert on a particular topic.
If the folder includes a description, it appears
as a tooltip. To view the description, place your mouse over the folder
name.
To view a document in a folder or subfolder, click
the folder or subfolder, navigate to the document you want to open, and
click its name.
To view a range of documents, type a starting
number in the View Items box,
an ending number in the To box,
and click 
.
To move quickly to a folder that you visited on
your way to the current folder, click the folder’s name in the list of
folders beneath the banner at the top of the screen.
To move up one level in the folder tree, on the
right of the Directory page, click 
Up.
To edit a folder or subfolder, click 
Edit. To learn more,
click here.
To view the properties of a document, click the
Properties link under the document
description.
To tell other portal users about a document, click
to the right of the document. A dialog box opens containing
a URL. Copy and paste the URL into an e-mail message and send the message
to other users.
Note: If those users do not have permission to view the document,
they will receive an error message when they click the URL you have sent
them.
The following options are only available to you if you have the appropriate
permissions. Contact your portal administrator if you need to perform
