Workflow


  1. Log in to the Brand Portal WordPress Admin.
  2. Navigate to the WP Portfolio section at Admin Menu > WP Portfolio and click the Add New button at the top left.
  3. On the next screen:
    • In the Title field, add a title that describes the content and/or use of the image.
      • Keep names under 48 characters if possible.
      • Favor full names, and include acronym in parenthesis if applicable.
      • Example: Roll Out Solar Array (ROSA) Being Deployed
    • In the Type selector, choose Image or PDF in the dropdown.
    • Click the “Add Portfolio Item” button.
  4. On the next screen (Portfolio Item Edit Screen):
    • Next to Thumbnail Image, click the “Click here to add…” link to open the media management modal window.
      • Drag the properly-named image file from your computer to the media manager window and drop it when the window turns blue.
      • Add a caption for the image (in the right column of the media pop-up window above the “Select” button) whenever possible to provide the user with correct context. 
      • When the file is done uploading and WordPress automatically selects it, click the “Select” button in the lower right corner of the media manager window.
    • Next to Portfolio Image or PDF, click the “Click here to add…” link to open the media management modal window.
      • Select the same file in the media manager you just uploaded as the thumbnail in the previous step (it should be the first file in the grid), then click the “Select” button in the lower right corner of the media manager window. The file will now be set as the portfolio item.
  5. In the right sidebar of the edit screen, locate the Other Categories box and select “Image“.
  6. In the right sidebar of the edit screen, locate the Categories box and select any categories or uses that fit the image.
  7. In the right sidebar of the edit screen, locate the Publish box and click the “Publish” button to add your flysheet.

Done! Make sure you check your work on the font end!
