(only
one marker from this group can be used on a topic) or not 
(multiple markers from this group can be used on a topic).
You can change this attribute for user-defined icon groups and for text
marker groups.A marker is an icon, text annotation, font color or fill color with an associated name or meaning (i.e. Michael's tasks). You can use markers to code your map by applying them to specific topics. Markers are stored in a map marker list, and the current list is shown in the Map Markers pane.
The markers are organized into groups based on their type (icon, text markers, fill color or font color). A default set of marker groups is always included in the list, and you can create additional groups for icons and text markers.
The Map Markers pane is the place to organize (move, add, remove), name and group your markers. Markers can also be added to topics from the pane.
To open the Map Markers Pane do one of the following:
Click the Map Markers tab.
Click Format - Map Marker - Modify.
Each map markers list is pre-populated
with groups of markers of a single type (Task info, icons, text markers,
font color, fill color). Some groups are default groups (they appear in
every map markers list) and may be empty in some lists. Each group has
a tag to indicate whether the markers within the group are mutually exclusive
(only
one marker from this group can be used on a topic) or not (multiple markers from this group can be used on a topic).
You can change this attribute for user-defined icon groups and for text
marker groups.
General Icons and General text markers are markers that are used on the map but are not assigned to any marker groups. General icons can be produced when you add a new icon to your map from the Library. Or, if you apply a new marker list to your map, any markers that exist on your map that are not included in the new list will be automatically added to the General Icons or General Text Markers group.
General markers remain in the map markers list only as long as they are used on the map - they disappear from the list when they are removed from the map. General markers do not appear in the legend. To make them permanent list entries and include them in the legend, you must move them to a new or existing marker group. (Note: General icons are unnamed. They are automatically moved from the General icons group to the Single icons group to when you name them.)
Markers included in other marker groups remain in the markers list whether or not they are used on the map. You can modify their meaning and content, or remove them from the list (and legend) if they are not used. See Modify the map markers list for details.
Fill color icons and Font color icons can be named or unnamed. If they are unnamed (you have not assigned a meaning) they act like General markers: they disappear from the list if they are not used on the map and they do not appear in the legend.
