Creating a new folder

You create a new folder to place documents in, by clicking New collection (ny mappe).

  1. Open your web browser and go to the place you want the new folder. If you change your mind, you can move it later. 
  2. Click the Log in link at the bottom right of the screen. Please note that if you are already logged in, the link to click will be Manage document or Manage this folder, instead of Log in. If the web page is in Norwegian, the links will be Logg inn and Administrer dette dokumentet or Administrer denne mappen.
  3. Log in using your UiO user name and password. Depending on whether you are managing a document or a folder, Vortex opens to the View tab of a document or the Contents tab of a folder. The tabs can be seen close to the top of the page:


    If you are managing a document, you need to go to the nearest folder. Do this by clicking the previous level in the bread crumb navigation close to the top of the page.

     
  4. Click Create collection to the right, above the file list.

     
  5. Select the folder type you need by clicking the radio button to the left of the folder type in the box that opens. Give the folder a name by writing it in the text box below the folder type list. Click Create to create the folder.
  6. The new folder is listed with any other folders in the folder view. Click the folder to open it.
  7. Click the Edit tab to open the folder in edit mode to give it a title in the Title box and adjust the folder settings (if needed).
  8. If needed, click the Permissions tab to set access privileges.
  9. Go back to the Contents tab and create documents or folders in the folder. Read more about creating documents.
