Bug Description
The current version of Mahara only allows users to select whole sections of their resume to add to different Views, e.g. "Educational History". However, not all items in each of these sections will be appropriate for most views. If I have awards, education, and work histories that involve education, photography, and programming, I don't want *all* of those items showing up when I put together a portfolio for an education job.
A good e-portfolio should allow the user to select the individual items in a resume that are suited to a particular application or context, in the same way that I can already choose which "bits" of my contact details I want to display in a particular view.
Otherwise, a resume, which might have dozens of items in any of these sections, will be horribly unfocused and will disadvantage its users in any real-life application of their e-portfolio.

Indeed, you are quite correct.
The resume is an area that we wish to improve upon. Many ideas are floating around currently about what we could do. Keep an eye on the project over the next few months, and on the Roadmap. I imagine at some point we'll put out a call for ideas.
