To obtain a copy of the attached media file, simply tap the media card or post and click the download icon. All media attachments added to a portfolio post are available for download, with the exception of workbooks, which can only be downloaded through the web platform.

💡You will be able to view tagged learning goals, like and comment on the posts, and download media only when the corresponding settings are enabled by your school administrator/coordinator.

Furthermore, you can easily find specific posts related to your child using the search icon on top. Here you can type in specific keywords and any relevant posts descriptions with those keywords will appear on your screen.

You can use the filter icon at the top to refine posts by folder, date, or both. Tap on the filter icon to access the ‘Folder’ and ‘Date’ filters:

Folder filter
This lets you filter posts by specific folders. You can choose ‘All folders’ to view all posts or select a particular folder to see posts tagged under it. Use the search icon within the filter window to find a specific folder quickly.

💡Please note that posts can be searched within only one folder at a time.

Date filter
This enables you to view posts from a specific week, month, or term. Set your desired start and end dates on the calendar, and the selected range will be highlighted.

Tap the ‘View x posts’ option to apply the filter and see the results.

If you want to start over or remove any applied filters, tap on the ‘Reset’ option at the top to clear your selections and return to the default view, which displays all posts.
