Work with Mindjet Task queries

Edit Mindjet Task Query topics

Mindjet Task Query topics display the query type as the topic text. You can edit this text to reflect the filter you are using, for example to change "Tasks" to "High Priority Tasks".

Add other topics

You can add other topics at the same level as the query results topics, and these are not affected when the query is refreshed.

You can also add subtopics to a query results topic, and they will be retained when you refresh the query.

If the parent results topic is linked to a Mindjet Task online that no longer meets the query criteria, the topic will be moved (along with its subtopics) to the "Old Results" topic. This can happen when:

• the Mindjet Task no longer meets the filter criteria

• the Mindjet Task was deleted

You can control this behavior using this Online Access option.

Modify a Mindjet Task Query

You can change the filter criteria used by a Mindjet Task Query topic at any time, and the results topics will be updated immediately. Existing results that no longer meet the criteria will be placed under a topic called "Old Results".

Change filter properties

1. Click the Mindjet Task Query icon on the query topic.

2. Click Edit Query.

3. In the dialog change the filter criteria.

4. Click OK.

The query topic automatically refreshes, showing you the new set of Mindjet Tasks that match the filter criteria. Existing results that no longer match the criteria are moved to a topic called "Old Results". You can control this behavior using this Online Access option.

Refresh a Mindjet Task query

Mindjet Task queries automatically refresh when you open the map that contains them (if this option is enabled), and individual results topics automatically refresh whenever their task information is updated.

To refresh Mindjet Task queries at any time:

• To refresh a single query, click the Mindjet Task Query icon on the query (parent) topic, and then click Refresh.

• Press F5.

• To refresh specific linked Mindjet Task queries or Mindjet Task topics on your map, select the topics, and then click Refresh Selected Mindjet Tasks in the Mindjet Tasks pull-down on the Task tab or the Advanced tab.

• To refresh all the Mindjet Task queries and all the linked Mindjet Task topics on your map, click Refresh All Mindjet Tasks in Map in the Mindjet Tasks pull-down on the Task tab or the Advanced tab.

Subtopics you have added to the results will be retained. If their parent is a results topic that no longer meets the query criteria, they will be moved with their parent to the "Old Results" topic.

While the results are being refreshed, the topic displays the "loading" icon .

Move or copy Mindjet Task Query and results topics

You can move or copy the parent query topic freely without affecting its functionality.

If you move a results topic out of the query branch it retains its functionality as well: its properties are kept in sync, its link still connects to the corresponding Mindjet Task online, and bi-directional sync of task info is retained. But, when you refresh the original query topic, a new results topic is added to replace the one you moved. This can create duplicate items on your map.

Disconnect a Mindjet Task Query topic

• Click the topic's Mindjet Task Query icon , and then click Disconnect from Mindjet Tasks.

If you disconnect a Mindjet Task Query topic, the query definition is removed from the topic. The Mindjet Task Query topic icon is removed to indicate that it is now a normal map topic. Its existing results topics will remain linked to and stay in sync with their corresponding Mindjet Tasks online.
