2. About MyFolio
What is MyFolio? My Folio is your personal portfolio in E*Value. It
acts like a virtual file cabinet that stores information about you.
What can MyFolio do for me? MyFolio is a tool that
you can use to document academic, personal, and community
service achievements. The goal is to build your portfolio
over time. You may add to MyFolio whenever you want to …
the volume of information that can be stored there is
unlimited.
3. Suggested uses for MyFolio
You will use MyFolio to …
capture academic & other professional achievements
Are all portfolios the same? YES. All students will use
the same portfolio template.
Who controls the content of MyFolio? YOU DO!
Each user (called a MyFolio Owner) controls the information that’s
entered into their own portfolio, so each student can choose what
to enter and when to enter it.
4. Is MyFolio easy to use?
Yes … you don’t have to be a tech wizard to
use MyFolio. Do you know how to attach a document to an e-mail,
type or edit text, copy & paste text, use a drop down list, or select a date from a
date picker?
If the answer is YES, then you have all the skills you need to use MyFolio.

MyFolio contains a list of folders Users enter data by first
selecting a folder to work in. The folder list below appears in the current DPT Template.

• Apply Knowledge (Sub-folders: Best Practice-Patient/Client, Best Practice-Group/Societal,

6. MyFolio grids
MyFolio folders include grids where you actually
enter data. Most folders contain at least one grid.
Grids are designed to give you different ways to enter data.
Each grid contains fields that allow you to enter different
types of data.
Some fields are for text entry while others allow you to
attach a document or image. Still other fields provide you
with a drop down list of choices or a date picker to select
a date.
