Usage Bar

In the top right hand corner of My Resources is a usage bar. This shows how many MB of space you have used. If you have unlimited space, it will show Xmb / unlimited. If your space has been limited, a usage bar will appear to show the percentage of space you have used.

Please note: If you exceed your space allocation, the My Resources tools will disappear. You can get more space by deleting resources that you no longer need. These resources will go into your recycle bin, which you will then need to empty (see below). Please contact your cLc manager if you think you should be allocated more space than you are currently.

Recycle bin

The recycle bin is located in the top right hand corner of My Resources. Any resources you delete will go into the recycle bin where they can then be restored back to your My Resources, or deleted completely from the system. Any resources deleted from the recycle bin CANNOT be restored.

Folder structure:

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.

Each user has a My Homepage folder, in their My Resources. Any pictures or videos that are inserted onto the My Homepage, will automatically be saved in this folder. This ensures that they are embedded in the cLc and can always be viewed.

How do I create a Web Feed folder?

A Web Feed folder is used to contain any resources that you wish to be able to subscribe to. For example, you may create a podcast mp3 file, which you can then put into a Web Feed folder. If you then publish this folder (using the How do I publish a folder steps above), then any user you publish to will be able to subscribe to your Web Feed. Subscribing to a Web Feed will set up the user's computer ready to either automatically download or create a link to any new/updated content. For more information about Web Feeds, click here

You can either create a new Web Feed folder, or change a current folder into a Web Feed folder:
