Code topics with markers

You can add two types of markers to your maps - icons  and tags - using commands on the Ribbon and in the Task Pane. An icon marker is a small image  that gives information about a topic in a graphical, easily understood way. A tag is a brief notation that gives information by displaying the text below the topic.

Icon markers

Mindjet comes with a set of icon markers that you can use for coding your topics.

Apply icon markers to a topic

  1. Select one or more topics.

  2. On the Ribbon's Insert tab, click Icons and select the icon in the pull-down.

  3. If you don't see the icon you want to use, click Organize Icon Markers to open the Task Pane. In the Task Pane Map Markers group, click on a marker in one of the Icon Markers groups.

You can assign several icons from different groups to a single topic, but you may only use one icon from each group. (Markers within the groups are mutually exclusive.) The Symbols group is an exception: You may assign more than one marker from this group to a topic.

Tags

You can create your own groups of tags to use. A group is usually a category or class, and the marker names within the group are its sub-categories.

Example:

You could create the group  "Sample size"
with markers named "0-1"  ,   "2-5"  ,   "6-10"  ,   ">10"  .

These would display beneath the topics as:
       Sample size: 0-1
       Sample size 2-5
... and so on.

  2. Under Tags click Add Tag Group.
