Browse Directory

Use this page to explore all the documents in the portal. The Knowledge Directory is similar to a Windows Explorer file system hierarchy 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.

• 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.

• If there are more than 20 documents in a folder, only the first 20 will be displayed. To view additional documents, at the bottom of the page, click Next 20 Documents.

• To move up one level in the folder tree, at the top of the page, click Up.

• To view the properties of a document (for example, author, creation date, last modified date), click the View Properties link under the document description.

The following options are only available to you if you have the appropriate permissions. Contact your portal administrator if you need to perform any of these actions but do not have the option to do so:

• To submit a document to the portal, at the bottom of the page, under Page Options, click Submit Document. You can submit files from a document repository or from the Web. To learn more about submitting documents, refer to Document Submission.

• Your portal administrator can relate communities, folders, experts, or content managers to a folder, so you know where else to look for associated information or who to talk to if you have questions about the information in the folder. To view a related community, folder, or user profile for an expert or content manager, click the object's name.

• If you have the appropriate permissions, you can add yourself as an expert on the information in this folder. Under Related Experts or Page Options, click Add me as an Expert.
