  Portfolio Exercise 3 - Add Workbooks

  1. Drag and drop copies of your three best Excel workbooks from other folders on your computer to your working copy of the port folder located in your Mgt4322 folder on your computer.
    1. To do this with Windows XP, click Start on the TaskBar, located in the lower left corner of your screen.  Then click MyComputer.  Change the ExplorerBar to Folders by clicking View Menu, ExplorerBar, Folders.
      With Windows Vista, click the Windows button located in the lower left corner of your screen.  Then click Documents.
    2. Click folders until you locate the port folder located in your Mgt4322 folder.
    3. Now, click folders until you locate the Excel workbook that you would like to include in your portfolio website.
    4. Hold down the Ctrl Key while you drag and drop a copy of that workbook to the port folder.
    5. Repeat this process for two more Excel workbooks.
    6. Your port folder should appear similar to the screen image in Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 1, except that there will be three additional workbooks.

       
  2. Use Microsoft Word to modify your website navigation page for the Excel workbooks.  This file is named Workbooks.htm.
    1. To do this, open Microsoft Word, click File Menu, Open.
    2. Double click folders until you reach the port folder in your Mgt4322 folder.
    3. Then, double click Workbooks.htm.  The screen image will be similar to that for Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 2, except that the title will be Workbooks, not Wordprocessed Documents.
    4. For each workbook, create a short descriptive title.
    5. For each workbook, create the hyperlink for the workbook by:
           Selecting the workbook title as shown in Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 2
           Clicking on the Insert menu and the Hyperlink... option (the Insert Hyperlink window appears)
           Clicking on the file name you wish to link to,
           Note by PJL (2010Feb6): Deleting any path folders so that only the filename remains, and
           Clicking OK.
    6. For each workbook, create a 25-150 word description that refers to an explicit part of the workbook (cite worksheet and range) explaining how the workbook illustrates an important skill you have developed.  For examples, see the Showcase at www.patlyons.com/m4322/hw/Showcase.htm or the previous semesters portfolios with YYY3 under Exercise 3.
    7. Change Joan Q. Student to your name.
    8. Exit Microsoft Word.

       
  3. Use Microsoft Windows Explorer with ftp://stupub.stjohns.edu/ to drag and drop your modified copy of the entire port folder from your Mgt4322 folder to your stupub website.  This will copy all the workbooks and your updated Workbooks.htm file.
    1. To do this, open Microsoft Windows Explorer (as in Step 1.a above) and key in ftp://stupub.stjohns.edu/.
    2. Enter your Username and password.  Your Username for stupub is the same as for the computers in the SUJ lab. Example, John Smith, SSN, 111-11-1234, would be jsmit234.  Your password is your SJU ID # (PIDM) on front of the storm card.
    3. If necessary, change the ExplorerBar to Folders by clicking View Menu, ExplorerBar, Folders.
    4. In the ExplorerBar, click on folders until you come to your Mgt4322 folder.  Keep the Mgt4322 folder selected, but use the downward arrow to show the stupub.stjohns.edu folder, if necessary.
      You may right click the stupub.stjohns.edu folder, click properties, and verify your Username appears in the ftp Location.
      Then, in the righthand windowpane, drag and drop the port folder to the stupub.stjohns.edu folder in the lefthand ExplorerBar.
    5. If you have problems, close all open applications, reopen Microsoft Internet Explorer, and redo Steps 3.a-d above.

       
  4. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer (not Word) to print and submit your modified stupub Workbooks.htm file.
    1. To do this, then use the Internet Explorer to print your copy of Workbooks.htm on stupub.
      Please make sure that the footer displays the filename and path, such as http://stupub.stjohns.edu/dadle988/port/.
      I wish to verify that you have copied the port folder and not just one file to the stupub server.
       
    2. If your Stupub account cannot be accessed, then use the Internet Explorer to print your copy of Workbooks.htm on your computer.
      Please make sure that the footer displays the filename and path, such as file://C:\MyDocs\M4322\port\Workbooks.htm.
      If the filename and path are not in the footer, use PageSetup, and set the footer to &u&b&d.
       
  5. Requirements
    1. If you do not have three Excel workbooks that you have created or used, you may substitute two PowerPoint presentations and/or Access databases.  You must have at least one Excel workbook that you have created.  You may develop a workbook to determine a labor standard.  See Item V.A of www.patlyons.com/m3325/chapters/h910.htm.
      1. If you include a PowerPoint presentation, you must put its link on the Presentations webpage.  Access databases go on the Creative webpage.
