Create topic alerts

MindManager's Topic Alert feature allows you to set a reminder to open and work with a specific map at an assigned date and time. This is similar to Microsoft Outlook's appointment and reminder features that you may already use. By assigning a reminder alert to a map topic, you can easily be ready to review a map, edit a map, or prepare for an appointment.  You can set an alert for any map topic.

The topic alert reminders are managed by a special MindManager Reminder service that runs in the background whether or not you are using MindManager.

You can synchronize your topic alerts with Microsoft Outlook which allows you to view and edit them from either application. This means that MindManager's alerts will always reflect changes made to them in Outlook and vice versa.
