Send maps

What do you want to do?

The best method to use for distributing your maps to others depends on whether the recipients are Mindjet users.

Everyone:

You can send the map as a self-contained Mindjet Viewer map in PDF or SWF format for viewing. Mindjet Viewer files include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map. Viewer maps can viewed in a standard browser - no special software is required.

Mindjet online features
See Collaborating with Mindjet for more information about sending and sharing maps
Note: You may not have access to MindManager's online features. However, if you have a MindManager Plus, Mindjet for Business, or ProjectDirector account, you can turn on MindManager's online features using Options.

Mindjet users only:

You can send a packaged map (and, optionally, its linked documents) in a .zip archive for viewing and editing. The recipients can unpack the map and related documents, and then view and edit them using Mindjet.

Send a Mindjet Viewer map

You can send your map as a self-contained Mindjet Viewer map in PDF or SWF format for viewing. Mindjet Viewer files include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map.

  1. Open the map.

  2. Click the File tab, click Share, then under  Send Using Email, select Send as Mindjet Viewer.

  3. Choose either PDF or SWF format.

The PDF format file requires Adobe Reader to view.

The SWF format file requires a browser with a Flash plugin or another application that can display Flash files.

An email message will automatically appear with the Mindjet Viewer file attached, and instructions to the recipients in the message. Simply add recipients and send it.

Send the current map to other Mindjet users

Note: Users will only have access to MindManager's SharePoint features if using MindManager for Enterprise. If you share a map that includes SharePoint elements with a user who is not using MindManager for Enterprise, SharePoint icons may be modified.

You can send the current map, Map Template, or Map Theme to other recipients who are Mindjet users. If you are conducting a review you can use the "for Review" option when you mail the map.

When you send a map, the current map, template or theme (and optionally, its linked documents) are used to create a ZIP archive.

In the Linked Maps View the Send as Email command combines multiple linked map files into one ZIP file.

Send a map, template or theme

  1. Open the map, template or theme.

  2. Do one of the following:

    On the Home tab, click the arrow next to the Share button. In the Share drop-down, select Send as Attachment.

    OR

    Click the File tab, click Share, then under Send Using Email, select either Send as Attachment or Send as Attachment For Review.  

The two "Send" commands are similar. The "For Review" command adds a Review follow-up flag to the Outlook email and changes the subject line to "Review ..." . Also, the map automatically opens in Review mode on the recipient's system.

Create the ZIP archive

You will be prompted for options to use for the ZIP archive. These are the same steps used by the Pack and Go feature to create an archive.

Read Note

The map(s) and documents are compressed into a ZIP archive, and an email message is created with the archive included as an attachment.
