The Marker Index pane displays a pivot view that shows your map topics categorized by their markers, providing a fast and easy way to see and navigate to your map's important content. You can use the controls at the top of the pane to enable or disable marker indexing, configure which markers to track, and copy the indexed list to the clipboard.
Marker indexing takes place in the background, and is enabled by default. All the named markers on your map are tracked (that is all tags and icons except the General Icons), but you can disable tracking of individual markers using the configuration options. You can also control whether the index is automatically refreshed using the MindManager options.
What do you want to do?
To see the Marker Index task pane:
Click the Marker Index button on the Home tab in the Tools group.
To show a topic from the list in your map:
Click any topic in the pane to immediately select the topic in the map (especially useful for navigating in large maps).
When marker indexing is active and set for automatic refresh, MindManager continually scans your map(s) and updates the index(es) to keep them in sync. This can slow MindManager's performance, especially when working with large maps. To remedy this, you can set an option to refresh the index(es) only at your request, or you can disable indexing for any or all open maps and re-enable it only when needed.
To enable or disable automatic refresh:
On the File tab, click Options, and then click Marker Index.
In the Marker Index options, disable the Automatically refresh Marker Index option.
Once you have set this option, you can refresh
the index manually by clicking
at the top of the Marker Index task pane.
To turn off marker indexing on the current map do one of the following:
On the Home tab, in the Tools group, click the Marker Index pull-down, and then click Enable. Click Enable again when you want to turn indexing back on. (Enable will be highlighted when indexing is on.)
At the top of the Marker Index pane, click the
button
to turn indexing off. A prompt will appear in the pane to indicate
that indexing is disabled. Click this prompt when you want to turn
indexing back on.
All the named markers on your map are automatically indexed, but you can choose to index only specific markers. New markers that you add to your map are not automatically indexed, but you can update the index to include them.
Do one of the following:
On the Home tab, in the Tools group, click the Marker Index pull-down, and then click Configure.
At the top of the Marker Index
pane, click .
Enable or disable tracking for specific markers in the dialog, and then click OK.
You can copy the current Marker Index list to the clipboard as a text file. This list can be used to show the current list of tasks on your map and their status, or a list of task assignments by resource, etc.
At the top of the Marker Index task pane, click
to copy the list to the clipboard.
The copied list contains all the information from the Marker Index, regardless of the expanded / collapsed state of the groups within the list. You can paste this into any other document that accepts text.
