Saving an Item to the Portfolio Workspace

If you are using the TI-Nspire™ software for the first time, the Portfolio Workspace may be empty. You need to save files to the Portfolio Workspace to view and edit scores, and perform other work on the files.

You can save collected, unprompted, and Quick Poll files to the Portfolio Workspace. You can save to the Portfolio Workspace from the Class and Review Workspaces.

When you save Quick Polls to Portfolio, students can continue to submit answers to the Quick Poll until you stop the poll. The saved Quick Poll automatically updates without you having to save it again.

Note: If you opened the file from the Portfolio Workspace, or if you have already saved the file to the Portfolio Workspace, the software does not ask you for a file name. The software saves the file to the Portfolio Workspace with the existing file name, and updates any grades you had given students. You can change a grade in the Portfolio Workspace at any time.

To save a file to the Portfolio Workspace, follow these steps.

1. Select the files you want to save.
From the Class Record in the Class Workspace, click , and then click Save selected to Portfolio.
From an open file in the Review Workspace, click File > Save to Portfolio, or click .

The Save to Portfolio dialogue box opens.

2. Save the files to a new Portfolio column or add them to an existing Portfolio column.
To add the files to a new Portfolio column, select Add as new portfolio column. You can use the existing name, or type a new name.
To save the files to an existing Portfolio column, select Add to existing portfolio column. Click the down arrow to select the desired column from the drop-down list.

Note: Quick Polls cannot be added to existing columns.

3. Click Save.

The file is saved in the Portfolio Workspace.

Note: The files you saved in the Portfolio Workspace remain in the Class Record until you remove them using the Remove command.

If a file is deleted from the Class Record, that delete action does not affect the file copy in the Portfolio Workspace. The copy remains in the Portfolio Workspace until it is deleted.
