Arrange Resources
Once you have a number of files in your Resources tool, you may wish to add some organization. Each of these tasks assumes you have logged into Sakai and clicked on the tab for the course in which you're organizing documents.
Create subfolders
You may wish to add an organizing structure; e.g., a subfolder called "Lectures" for all your PowerPoint presentations or a folder called "Useful Links":
- choose Resources from the left-hand menu
- you'll see at least one folder (the "top-level" folder is called Resources)
- to the right of the folder into which you'd like to add content, click the "Add" link
- for "Add Item Type," select Empty Folder
- type a title for your new folder (e.g., Lecture Notes)
- click the Add button
- now you can see your new subfolder, indented under its "parent" folder
Move items into subfolder
If you already have items in Resources and would like to move some of them into a subfolder:
- make sure the target subfolder exists
- select all the documents you'd like to move by checking the boxes to their left (note that you can select all documents with the checkbox at the top of the column; sometimes it's easier to select all then deselect the documents you don't need to move)
- click the "Move Checked" link at the top of the resources list
- now you must identify the subfolder into which you wish to move the selected documents: each folder in the list will have a bolded link to its right that says "Paste Moved Items." Click the Paste link to the right of your destination subfolder
- you will see your documents have moved and are now indented under the subfolder you chose
