An icon is a small image 
that gives information about a topic in a graphical, easily
understood way. You can assign an icon to multiple topics, and each topic
can have more than one icon, but you may not repeat the same icon more
than once on a single topic. You can add or remove icons on topics using
the Home tab Map Markers group Icon Markers command, or from the Map Markers task pane.
Every map begins with a built-in Map Markers list : a set of available markers and their pre-defined meanings. The markers are stored in groups in the Map Markers list (displayed in the Map Markers task pane). When you add an icon marker to a topic you can select an icon from the current map markers list or choose a different icon from the Library.
You can choose a different pre-defined list of markers to use with the map in the Template Organizer's Map Marker Lists pane.
You can modify the Map
Markers list to assign different meanings, add or remove markers, and
create new marker groups.
You can also use icons as criteria for selecting topics and filtering
the map.
Select a topic or topics that you want to assign the icon to.
On the
Home tab, in the Map
Markers group, click Icon Markers.
In the icon marker picker select the icon you want to assign to the topic. Once an icon is added, you can rest your pointer over it to see its meaning. You can change its meaning in the Map Markers pane.
Some icons are mutually exclusive: Only one icon from that
marker group can be added to a topic. If you attempt to add a second icon
from the same group, it replaces the first icon. You can change this attribute for a group. You can add multiple icons
to a topic from a group that is non-exclusive.
If the icon you choose was already assigned to a selected topic, it is
removed. This works as a toggle, so a second click on the icon will add
it to all selected topics.
If you don't see the icon you want to add, click More Icons... to open the Library task pane. Click the icon in the Library task pane. The icon is automatically added to the General icons group in the Map Markers pane.
To display larger icons on the map, use MindManager's Visual
Effects option.
To see more detailed icons right-click inside the Library
pane, and then click Show
Large Previews.
To copy an icon from one topic to another, drag it to the new topic. Press
CTRL to move instead of copy.
To add or remove a marker on a topic from the Map Markers
task pane, select the target topic(s), and then click the marker.
To add Priority icons use shortcut keys: CTRL+SHIFT+1 for Priority 1, CTRL+SHIFT+2
for Priority 2 etc.
CTRL+SHIFT+0 removes all Priorities from the topic.
To set shortcut keys for other icons in the Library
pane, right-click, then click Shortcut
key in the context menu.
Once you have added an icon to a topic, you can change it in several ways:
For icons that belong to a named group, click the icon to cycle to the next icon in the group.
For icons that belong to a named group, right-click the icon, and then click a different marker from the displayed group.
Right-click the icon, then click Replace With to select an icon from a different group.
Right-click the icon, then click More Icons to replace the current icon with a new icon from the Library. The new icon gets added to the General icons group in the Map Markers pane.
Right-click the icon, then click Edit Map Marker Name to change the icon's meaning. This new meaning will show in the map legend.
To copy an icon, drag it to a new topic, then drop it.
To move the icon, press CTRL, drag the icon to a new topic, then drop it.
To remove an icon, right-click on the topic's icon, and then click Remove or Remove All Icon Markers to remove all the topic's icons.
CTRL+0 removes all icon markers; CTRL+SHIFT+0 removes all
Priority icons.
If you prefer not to display icons but want to avoid removing them you
can hide them using the Show
/ Hide command in Map View. In Outline View you can turn off the icons
column - right-click the column header and clear the Icons
checkbox.
On a topic, right-click the icon you want to find.
Click Find Next or Find Previous to select the next or previous topic that uses this marker.
On a topic, right-click the icon you want to match.
Click Quick Filter, and then click Show topics with this marker or Hide topics with this marker.
Filtering is cumulative. Topics that are already hidden remain hidden when you apply a new filter.
To show all the topics again do one of the following:
On the View tab, in the Filter group, click Remove Filter.
On the
Status Bar, click Remove
Filter 
.
Right-click the map's workbook tab, then click Remove Filter.
To use additional criteria for filtering, use the Power Filter option.
If you export your map to web pages an icon legend pop-up is automatically included in the export. You can disable this by using the options to customize your web pages. The Icon Legend pop-up option is in the Show section on the Advanced Settings page.
For PowerPoint export, you can use the icons on your map as bullet characters on your slides. This is controlled in the PowerPoint Export Format Settings dialog.

The task icons (priority, task complete %) are dynamically linked to the task information assigned to the topic. These work in a special way:
If you assign task info to a topic, the corresponding task icons appear automatically on the map and are added to the Map Markers List (if they were not already included) in the appropriate group. These icons remain in a dynamic state until you name them. If an icon is dynamic its name is grayed. If it is not used on the map it is removed from the marker list. You must name a dynamic icon if you want to keep it in the list regardless of whether it is used on the map.
If you add a task icon (priority, task complete %) from the map marker picker the corresponding task info is automatically assigned to the topic.
You can "cycle" the priority and % complete task icons just like other icons. Click on the icon to change it to the next available priority or task complete (%) setting. You can tailor the markers list in the Map Markers pane to contain only those priorities and task complete (%) settings you want to use. For example, you can include just the 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% icons in the list rather than the whole continuum of settings. In this way you can avoid cycling through all the unused icons.
