Add task information

Use the Task Info task pane to enter task information for the selected topic.

To enter task information:

Select the topic(s) you want to define the task information for.
Do one of the following:

Click the Task Info tab to open the Task Info pane.
Click Topic - Task Information.

In the Task Info pane enter the information. You may define any or all of the task properties for the selected topics.

Pick a Priority. A corresponding icon is automatically added to the topics on the map.
Pick the Start Date and Due Date from the pull-down calendars.
Set the Complete(%) option. A corresponding icon is automatically added to the topics and to the Map Markers pane Task Complete (%) group.
Enter the Duration in hours, days, weeks or months
If you have multiple entries in the Resources field use a ; (semi-colon) to separate the names in the list.
Category information can be entered by using the Text Marker option.
Note: The Category information for maps from previous versions of MindManager is automatically converted to Text Markers.

You can choose to display task information in Map view by checking the Show Task Information option here, or by using the View - Show / Hide - Task Information option. All the task information for each topic is displayed in a small window below the topic text. (This does not apply to Outline view.)

If you display the task info in Map view, you can choose whether to include the year in the displayed dates.

Note: The date format is determined by the Control Panel - Regional and Language options. If you change the date display format there you should re-start MindManager.

You can also use the Add Icon Marker option to add Task icons (Priority, Task Complete %) or the Map Markers pane (Priority, Task Complete %, Resource) to topics, and the corresponding task information is automatically assigned to the topic.

Hint: You can use the Power Select and Power Filter commands to select or filter topics based on their Task Information settings.
