The best method to use for distributing your maps to others depends on whether the recipients are MindManager users.
You can send the map as a self-contained Mindjet Viewer map in PDF or SWF format for viewing. Mindjet Viewer files include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map. Viewer maps can viewed in a standard browser - no special software is required.
Mindjet Connect
See Collaborating with Mindjet Connect
for more information about sending, sharing and publishing maps.
You can send a packaged map (and, optionally, its linked documents) in a .zip archive for viewing and editing. The recipients can unpack the map and related documents, and then view and edit them using MindManager.
What do you want to do?
You can send your map as a self-contained Mindjet Viewer map in PDF or SWF format for viewing. Mindjet Viewer files include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map.
Open the map.
Click the File tab, click Save & Send, click Send Using Email, and then click Send as Mindjet Viewer.
Choose either PDF or SWF
format.
The PDF format file requires Adobe Reader to view.
The SWF format file requires a browser with a Flash plugin or another
application that can display Flash files.
An email message will automatically appear with the Mindjet Viewer file attached, and instructions to the recipients in the message. Simply add recipients and send it.
Notes:
Your email program must be set up as a MAPI
server to use this feature. Most email clients have this option. These
commands will not work with web-based email such as MS Hotmail or AOL. In these
cases, you can create the Mindjet Viewer
file, and then send it as an email attachment to the desired recipients.
The PDF format file requires Adobe Reader to view. If you use another
PDF viewer, it must support PDF's with embedded Flash content.
Mindjet Viewer maps can not be edited.
Mindjet Viewer does not support some map elements.
You can send the current map, Map Template, or Map Theme to other recipients who are MindManager users. If you are conducting a review you can use the "for Review" option when you mail the map.
When you send a map, the current map, template or theme (and optionally, its linked documents) are used to create a ZIP archive.
In the Linked Maps View the Send as Email command combines multiple linked map files into one ZIP file.
Open the map, template or theme.
Click the File tab, click Save & Send, click Send Using Email, and then click either Send as Attachment or Send as Attachment For Review.
The two "Send" commands are similar. The "For Review" command adds a Review follow-up flag to the Outlook email and changes the subject line to "Review ..." . Also, the map automatically opens in Review mode on the recipient's system.
In Linked Maps view, select one or more maps. In the Linked Maps group, click Send as Email.
If you select the parent map, only the parent and level 1 maps will be sent. To send maps at level 2 and beyond you must select them.
You will be prompted for options to use for the ZIP archive. These are the same steps used by the Pack and Go feature to create an archive.
The map(s) and documents are compressed into a ZIP archive, and an email message is created with the archive included as an attachment.
