Basic Steps For Creating an Electronic Appendix 1.Create your Appendix Table of Contents in a MS Word document 2.Organize documents in the same manner as your Appendix Table of Contents 3.Convert documents into electronic format and place into file structure for 3 areas 4.Upload files into your SharePoint Library. 5.Optional: Create links/shortcuts from Appendix Table of Contents to documents in SharePoint 1.Create your Appendix Table of Contents in a MS Word document 2.Organize documents in the same manner as your Appendix Table of Contents 3.Convert documents into electronic format and place into file structure for 3 areas 4.Upload files into your SharePoint Library. 5.Optional: Create links/shortcuts from Appendix Table of Contents to documents in SharePoint

4. Step 1 - Create the Appendix Table of Contents  The Table of Contents (TOC) for the Appendix shows reviewers what you have placed into the 3 appendix folders, and the location  TOC should be created as Microsoft Word document that will be uploaded to SharePoint  After your folders and files have been uploaded, you have the option of creating and assigning hyperlinks from the Appendix Table of Contents to the items in SharePoint  Remember that a printed copy of the TOC for the Appendix must still be placed in the main RTP Portfolio binder under Tab 2.0  The Table of Contents (TOC) for the Appendix shows reviewers what you have placed into the 3 appendix folders, and the location  TOC should be created as Microsoft Word document that will be uploaded to SharePoint  After your folders and files have been uploaded, you have the option of creating and assigning hyperlinks from the Appendix Table of Contents to the items in SharePoint  Remember that a printed copy of the TOC for the Appendix must still be placed in the main RTP Portfolio binder under Tab 2.0

5. Step 2 - Organize Documents into the Three Appendix Folders  First organize a file structure map of how and where you will place your appendix documents  Appendix documents should be organized into three main folders: 1. Teaching - 2. Scholarly & Creative Activity - 3. Service  Organize the your documents with names and location in the same manner as listed on your TOC  Raw Data is a required subfolder to be placed into the Teaching folder.  First organize a file structure map of how and where you will place your appendix documents  Appendix documents should be organized into three main folders: 1.
