3 MY PORTFOLIO: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Federal Acquisition Institute Training Application System (FAITAS) is the avenue for all federal civilian agency employees to electronically manage their career development. As part of career development management, Employees upload résumés, certificates of completion, letters, etc. as supporting documentation during the request process. The FAITAS Portfolio, available during the request process, provides an efficient way for Employees to manage the documentation uploads. For more information, to provide feedback, or to submit a ticket, visit the Help Desk online at or use the Contact Us option in the FAITAS Help menu. Use the tabs to locate document types or to upload new documents. My Certifications, My CL Certificates, and My Training Certificates entries are system-generated. Use the Search field to look for specific documents that have already been uploaded. The My Documents table displays all the documents the Employee uploaded. From here, documents can be attached to a specific request, viewed, or removed. Click the red exit/close icon to close the Portfolio.

4 MY PORTFOLIO: FAQS QUESTION: How do I access My Portfolio? My Portfolio is accessible only during the request process wherever one is able to attach supporting documentation. QUESTION: What is the purpose of having a FAITAS portfolio? The Portfolio makes uploading documents more efficient because it saves Employees from having to upload the same document multiple times. It also takes advantages of the FAITAS system by automatically uploading Certifications, CL Certificates, and Training Certificates. QUESTION: How do I know a document is attached to the request? A green checkmark next to a document indicates the document is attached to a request. A document automatically attaches to the request when uploaded. QUESTION: What happens if I attach a document to a request and then decide to delete it? Does it also get deleted from My Portfolio? If you delete a document from a request, it does NOT get deleted from your Portfolio. QUESTION: What happens if I delete a document from My Portfolio that is already linked to several FAITAS requests? Will it get deleted from those requests? If you delete a document from your Portfolio, it does NOT get deleted from any pending or processed FAITAS request. QUESTION: Can I upload personal documents to My Portfolio? My Portfolio is intended for documents applicable to training, not personal documents. QUESTION: Is there a file size limit for uploaded documents? Each uploaded file must be less than Mb.
