Creating a Portfolio from an Assignment

1 Initial Problem

The workflow of creating a Blog or a Protfolio from an Exercise-Assignment is rather tideous and obscure.

1. Click on [Create Portfolio] in Assignment.
2.  ILIAS presents a list of Portfolio Templates. 
3. User selects a Template and hits [Save]. 
   • If the Templates happens to comprise a Blog or Competences,
     • ILIAS presents another form aksing to a) provide a title for the new Blog, b) Use existing Blog, c) remove Blog Page
     • ILIAS presents the selected Competences to be unchecked. 
4. ILIAS presents the Content-Tab of the Portfolio (automatically titled "Portfolio: Exercise Title: Assignment Title". 

2 Conceptual Summary

The selection of the Template should be avoidable:

• If the Portfolio is created from an Assignment, the assigment automatically uses a specific template for this creation. 
• If this Template comprises Competences, these Competences will automatically be inserted into the respective portfolio page and the Personal Desktop > My Competences. Users could easily remove both of it if they choose to do do so. 
• If the Template comprises a Blog, the blog is automatically titled according  to the title given in the Template. 

This would sacrifice unwanted flexibility during the creation process. While titles can always be changed later on in the respective Settings-Tabs.

4 Technical Information

Killing, Alexander [alex], 21.11.2016: No technical issues. The the repository picker (as part of the UI framework) should be an optional development imo and not a "hard" request, since we already have such a component.

Killing, Alexander [alex], 16.11.2016: I support this request. In my view the repository picker (as part of the UI framework) should be an optional development and not a "hard" request, since we already have such a component.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Nov 21, 2016: We appreciate this feature request and schedule it for 5.3. This improvement does not rely on the implementation of a new repository picker (nevertheless it would be nice to get a new one...).
