MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 1

Learn about MindManager and maps WHAT IS MINDJET MINDMANAGER SOFTWARE? Mindjet MindManager provides an intuitive visual interface to rapidly capture, organize, and share ideas and information. Mindjet MindManager is the leading business information mapping software for enhancing project planning, process organization and information management for teams and individuals. The software maximizes business performance through enhancing quality of strategic thinking, accelerating projects and boosting productivity. WHAT IS A MAP? A map is a visual representation of information and ideas. The main idea or title is at the center of the map, with supporting ideas branching off of it in a radiating, hierarchical fashion. Each idea is called a topic. Map topics begin at the 1 o clock position, and are read clockwise. This map shows the main elements of a Project Plan, beginning with the Summary. We ve included additional information for the Summary in a topic note. Under Research, we see that we need a report on Market size and growth, and that Pricing is related to Costs. The Scope of the project lists Contractors as an external resource, and a hyperlink points to the contractor s web page. Costs are a high priority that we ve shown in red. Milestones are grouped. Icons indicate that the task Identify team has been completed, and that the task Project Plan Draft 1 is 50% complete. For Next Steps we ve attached the document for Draft 1 so it can be reviewed. 2 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

MAP TOPICS AND ELEMENTS Maps are made of these basic topics and objects: Central topic Main topic Subtopic Floating topic Callout Boundary Relationship When you create your map in MindManager, you use these building blocks to display and organize information.

Click Detail on the toolbar and choose the number of levels to display. The Focus on Topic command collapses all other topics while expanding and centering the selected topic. 8 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

VIEW THE MAP AS AN OUTLINE The Outline View allows you to see maps using a familiar visual form so you can read and navigate through the document from top to bottom. This view can be a helpful reference if you are just beginning to use MindManager. Choose View > Outline View. In Outline View you can add, delete, move and copy topics, and add other map elements using the columns in the view. Outline View does not display boundaries, relationships, or other graphical elements like images. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 9

Add information CODE TOPICS WITH MARKERS You can code individual topics with distinctive visual elements called map markers. Markers are used to impart specific meaning to topics or classify them into groups. A marker can be an icon, a font color, or a fill color, or a small annotation under the topic. Each marker has an associated name or meaning. The Markers Inspector the shows list of markers that are available for use on the current map.

A marker group name to create a new group (either icon or text markers) and add markers to it. The inspector window background to add a new group, save the current markers set to a file, or assign a new markers list from a file. To save your customized markers list as a file that you can re-use on other maps: Control-click the Inspector background, then click Save Markers to File. To use the saved list on another map: Control-click the Inspector background, then click Assign Markers from File. Text markers Most marker lists do not include text markers so you need to create them first: 1. Control-click in the Markers Inspector, then click New Text Marker Group. 2. Enter the Group Name. 3. Control-click the new group name, then click New Text Marker. 4. Enter the marker name, then click OK. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add all the markers for the group. Then you can add text markers to topics: 1. Select a topic or topics that you want to assign the text marker to. 2. On the toolbar click Inspector, then in the Inspector click the Markers Inspector tab. 3. In the Inspector select the marker you want to assign to the topic. A topic with a text marker. If you want to re-use these text markers on other maps, you can save the map markers list to a file that you can re-apply. (See the Tip above.) Font and fill color markers When you use a font color or fill color on your map, it is added to the Map Marker inspector as an unnamed General marker. You can assign meanings to General markers, and create new groups from them. General markers only remain in the Map Markers list if they are used on the map. When they are no longer used, they disappear from the list. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 11

ADD TASK INFORMATION You can add task information to topics that includes task priority, start and due dates, % complete, duration, and resource information. You can add just some or all of this information to a topic. Task information can be used as criteria for selecting and filtering topics. To add task info to topics you use the Task Information inspector. 1. Select a topic. 2. On the toolbar, click Inspector, then in the Inspector, click the Task Information Inspector tab. 3. Enter your information for the topic. The task information shows as icons and text in a small window under the topic. The Task Info icons are also map markers: If you have added a Task Priority or Task Complete (%) marker from the map Markers Inspector, it will also show in the Task Information Inspector for the topic. 12 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

ADD EXTENDED INFORMATION You can include additional information with your map in several forms: Text Notes that you enter in the MindManager Topic Notes window. Hyperlinks to other topics, maps, documents, and locations. Attachments that are included as part of the map file. Notes Map topics are most readable when they are kept short. For topics that need more detail, you can add topic notes to include more information. Topic notes can be formatted, and can include hyperlinks and graphics. You use the Topic Notes window to enter the note. You can type the text or copy it from another document. 1. Select the topic. 2. On the toolbar, click Notes. 3. Enter the text in the Topic Notes window. 4. If the Inspector is not already open, click the Show Notes Inspector button in the Topic Notes window s upper-right corner for formatting options. 5. Use the Notes Inspector to format the Notes. 6. Close the window when you re done, or select another topic and continue entering notes. A Notes icon appears on the topic to show that it contains a note. Point to this icon to see a preview of the note or click it to open the Topic Notes window. To print a topic s Notes, Control-click the icon, then click Print. If the information you want to include in your map is in an existing document, you may prefer to attach the document, or link to it with a hyperlink. To position the Topic Notes window on the bottom or to the right of your map choose View > Position Notes. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 13

Hyperlinks You can add a Hyperlink to a map topic or in the Notes that points to an external document or folder, a map topic, a Web address, or an email address. This lets you avoid clutter on the map, and ensures that you see an updated document or page each time the link is activated (just click to jump to the destination). You can add one hyperlink per topic. If you want to include a document as part of the map file itself, or you want to reference several documents from a single topic, use the Attachments command. To add a hyperlink to a topic 1. Select the topic 2. On the toolbar, click Hyperlink. 3. Choose the type of link you want to add. URL jumps to a URL. Enter the destination in the Link to: field. You can copy the URL from the browser address field to the Link to: field. File / Folder opens a file in its associated application, or opens the folder in the Finder. Click Choose and select the destination. Topic links to a topic in this map or another map. Choose the destination topic. Email Address begins a new email message when you click the link. Enter an address. The Subject is optional. A hyperlink that points to another map or file can include either a Relative or an Absolute path. Relative links use the location of the map as a base and show the path to the document from there. Absolute links use the full path name. 4. Click OK. A hyperlink icon appears on the topic to indicate the link. Its appearance will vary, depending on the link type. When you point to the icon, you see the link. When you click on the icon, you jump to the link destination. 14 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

Attachments When you attach documents to a map the document content is stored as part of the map file. This keeps the documents together in a single file with your map, and ensures that they stay with the map when you move it to a new location or distribute it to co-workers. You can attach several documents to a single topic. 1. Select a topic. 2. On the toolbar, click Attach File. 3. Select the file, then click Open. 4. Click OK. An attachment icon appears on the topic, and the Hyperlinks and Attachments Inspector opens automatically. This is where you can open, add, remove, or save attachments. Click the Attachment icon at any time to see this inspector. Once a document is attached to a map it becomes part of the map file, and you can only edit it from within MindManager. If you want to access the document outside of MindManager, you can save a copy of the attachment to an external file. A map with many attachments can become quite large. If this is a concern, you can instead choose to add hyperlinks that point to some or all of the documents. Since hyperlinks just reference an external document, they do not increase the size of your map significantly, and the files can be modified outside of MindManager. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 15

Add visual elements and formatting Add visual elements like boundaries and relationships to connect topics, group them or summarize them. Include images to make a map look more interesting, but use them sparingly. Use formatting to call attention to specific topics, and give the map a distinctive, polished appearance. BOUNDARIES MindManager offers two types of boundaries: grouping boundaries and summary boundaries. 1. Select the topic whose subtopics you want to group with the boundary. 2. On the toolbar, click Boundary, and then click the boundary type. You can add a callout to a boundary to provide an explanation (grouping boundary) or as a summary topic (summary boundary), that can begin to grow again. Control-click the boundary, then click Insert Callout Topic. When you select a boundary, a blue box appears to show that it is selected. Use the options in the Format and Spacing Inspector to change the boundary s line and fill. 16 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

RELATIONSHIPS Sometimes a relationship exists between two topics, and you want to illustrate this on your map. You can add a relationship line that connects two topics, and label it if you wish. 1. On the toolbar, click Relationship. 2. The cursor changes to the relationship cursor. 3. Click the first topic, and then click the second. 4. The relationship line links the two topics. Handles appear when you select the relationship. Drag the yellow handles to re- shape the relationship. Drag the red handle to connect it to a different topic. Use options in the Formatting and Spacing Inspector to change its line style and color. Control-click the relationship and choose Insert Callout to add a label. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 17

IMAGES Add images to your map for visual interest. You can use professionally-designed map images from the MindManager Library or your own image from a file. You can attach an image to a topic, add it as a new topic, or create a floating image that can be moved freely. You can also add images to the text notes and use an image for the map background. To add MindManager image from the Library. 1. On the toolbar click Library, or choose Window > Show Library. 2. Locate the image you want to use and drag it onto the map or into a topic. A red visual cue means the image will be added as a subtopic of the highlighted topic. To create a floating topic, press Shift as you drag to prevent the image from becoming attached to a topic as you move it. A green visual cue means the image will be attached to the topic. Note that you can then drag the image to position it within the topic space in one of 4 locations. No cue (image is in an empty space) means the image gets added as a floating image. You can drag the image to fine-tune its location. To add a background image from the Library, choose Backgrounds from the pop-up menu, then drag one of the Backgrounds from the Library onto the map. To change its transparency or tiling, choose Format > Background, or Control-click the map background, then click Background. Images from files To add an image from a file to a topic, select a topic, choose Insert > Image, then choose your image. To add an image from a file as a free-floating image choose Insert > Image, click the location for the image, then select the image from the Open dialog. To use your own image from a file for the map background choose Format > Background or Control-click the map background, then click Background. Click Choose to select the image. 18 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

APPLY A STYLE You can apply a style at any time to change the map s overall appearance. Then you can go on to format individual topics as needed. 1. Choose Format > Style > Apply from Chooser. 2. In the Chooser, select a style, then click Choose. The style determines the default formatting for all topics. You can format topics individually to give them a distinctive look. You can save any topic s new formatting as the default format for all topics at that level. All unformatted topics and any new topics you add will display this formatting. If you change the default formats for topics, you can save these settings in a new style template. FORMAT INDIVIDUAL TOPICS 1. Select a topic or topics. 2. On the toolbar, click Inspector, then click the Format and Spacing Inspector tab. Topic formatting includes options that affect the current topic (color, shape) as well as options that affect its subtopics (layout type, line style and anchor). Topic spacing includes the spacing between topics margins and padding inside the topic, as well as the positioning of images placed inside topics. Topic Fill Colors and Text Colors are added to the Map Markers list. You can use the Map Markers Inspector commands to name them and give them a specific meaning. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 19

CHANGE THE DEFAULT FORMAT FOR TOPICS To use the formatting of the current topic as the default format for all topics at this level: Choose Format > Set as Default Format. You can set the default format for topics up to level 4. Any topics at this level that you have not formatted will be updated immediately, and any new topics you add will use these attributes. Topics that you have formatted individually will not be affected. SAVE DEFAULT FORMAT SETTINGS IN A STYLE TEMPLATE You can save all the default format settings from the current map into a style template that you can re-use when you begin a new map, or apply to an existing map. 1. Choose File > Save as Style. 2. Name the style, then click Save. MindManager automatically saves the new style in the Styles folder so it will automatically appear in the Styles Chooser. To use the style on another map: 1. Open the map. 2. Choose Format > Style > Apply from Chooser. REMOVE FORMATTING To return a topic s formatting to the default (remove formatting that you ve applied): Choose Format > Use Default Format. COPY FORMATTING To easily apply the formatting of a topic to other topics, use the Copy Format command. This duplicates all the topic s formatting settings. Select the topic whose formatting you want to duplicate. 1. Choose Edit > Copy Format. 2. Select one or more topics to apply the formatting to. 3. Choose Edit > Paste Format. The Copy Format command can also be used to apply boundary and relationship formatting. If you find yourself using the Copy Format command frequently, you may want to change the default topic style 20 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

Open and save maps OPEN A MAP To open an existing map for editing: 1. Choose File > Open. 2. Navigate to the map file, and then click Open. You can search for a map that contains specific text using a Spotlight search. Spotlight will display MindManager maps in the Documents section of the results. You can import an OPML file to create an instant map. 1. Click File > Open. 2. Navigate to the OPML file, and then click Open. SAVE A MAP To save the current map with the same name, choose File > Save. To save the map with a different name choose File > Save As. You can protect your map so that no one can open it without knowing the password. 1. Click File > Password. 2. Enter the password for the map and click OK. 3. Save the map. From now on, no one can open the map without entering the password. MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide 21

Print, import, export and share maps Once you ve completed a map you can share it with colleagues by printing the map or attaching it to an email in a variety of formats. The export feature also allows you to import your map to other applications in text form, or as a graphic that you can include in another document. PRINT MAPS You can print your map as a graphic from Map View or as an outline from Outline View. Map printing is WYSIWYG, so you can tailor the map before printing by expanding or collapsing topics, or hiding topics with a filter. Choose File > Page Setup to change the orientation and scaling options. Choose File > Print to print the map. (Click Preview to see how the map will look.) To print just the notes for a topic, select it, then choose File > Print Notes. Click View > Show & Hide to temporarily hide map elements that you don t want to print. Print large maps MindManager makes it easy to print a large map on several pages that you can re-assemble billboard-style. 1. Choose File > Print. 2. In the third settings pull-down, choose MindManager. 3. Set the number of pages here. 22 MindManager 7 MAC QuickStart Guide

EMAIL MAPS The best way to share your maps is to send them in their native MindManager format this way maps remain dynamic. If colleagues don t have MindManager they can download the trial version at our website and use it as a free viewer. To quickly send a map as an email attachment, save it and then drag the map icon in the document window on to your email application of choice in the Dock. A new email will be created with the map attached. If you prefer, you can use MindManager s Export feature to create a file that you send as an email attachment. EXPORT MAPS TO OTHER FORMATS MindManager can export your map to a wide variety of applications. To see all the export possibilities choose File > Export. The form the map takes on export is determined by the destination format. Some exports create an outline from your map and some create a graphic. Exports are WYSIWYG: topics that are not visible because they are collapsed or hidden by a filter are not exported. Plain Text exports the text from the map as a simple text file.
