The upper/left hand section of the Resources page is assigned to the control and manipulation of the folders you create.

In order for a resource to be subscribed to via a Web Feed (Podcast), it needs to be in a Wed Feed folder (How do I create a Web Feed Folder?)

The folders will appear above the resources, or to the left of the resources, depending on the view selected.

There are two different display views of your ‘My Resources’:

• Horizontal - this displays the folders on the left, and the resource tools and resources on the right.
• Vertical - this displays the folders along the top, with the resource tools and resources listed below

There are 2 different ways to adjust your display view.

• Changing the view options in My Resources (temporary). Use the options underneath the resources 'Change to Horizontal view' or 'Change to Vertical view'. This will only change your view for as long as you are on the page. If you click on a different page, or click to add a resource, the view will change back to the default view/the view you selected in My Preferences (see below).
• Changing the view options in My Preferences (permanent):

               1. Click on My Settings in the My Panel

               2. Click on My Preferences        

               3. Underneath 'Resources Display', select Vertical for the vertical display view or Horizontal for the horizontal view by clicking in the radio box.

               4. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

These folders can be used to manage and organise your resources.  The view shows the folders that are associated with your current group. 

The uppermost, or root directory for the group is a hyperlink displayed simply as it's name.  Any directories below this level, known as sub-directories are displayed in order below and are represented by a folder icon , with their respective hyperlink and name shown offset slightly to the right.

The currently selected folder and it's hyperlink are displayed in bold, with the folder icon showing as open .  You will find that the contents of the selected folder are on display in the lower section of the screen, the 'Resources' section.
