Add to the map markers list

• Markers are created automatically when you use a new marker on your map (apply a new icon, font color or fill color).
  New markers are added to the map markers list as follows:

Marker type	Marker group
Priority icons	Task Priorities
% complete icons	Task Complete (%)
Fill color	Fill Colors
Font color	Font Colors
Icons (except priority and % complete)	General Icons

Icon, fill color and font color markers are added to the list in a dynamic state: if you remove all occurrences of the marker from the map, the marker also disappears from the markers list. General text markers and other unnamed markers are also omitted from the legend.

• To make General Icons permanent entries, drag them to a marker group (new or existing). You will be prompted to name the icons (assign a meaning) when you move them.

• To make an unnamed Fill Color or Font Color markers permanent, name them (right-click and then click Rename).

• To add markers to a new group, create the group first in the Map Markers task pane.

 

You can add both text marker groups and individual text markers dynamically.

1. Select a topic.

2. On the Home tab, in the Map Markers group, click the Text Markers arrow.

3. Click Add New Text Marker.

4. Select an existing marker group or enter a new group name to create a new group. (For example Sample size)

5. Enter the name of the marker (for example <15 grams).

6. Click Add.

7. You'll see the new text marker added in the Map Markers pane.

8. Repeat these steps to add more markers.

9. Click Close when you are finished.

1. In the Map Markers pane, right-click the group name, and then click New marker (where marker is the name of the type of marker you are adding).

2. Enter the new marker's name. For icon markers choose the marker from the selection shown. (You will only be shown markers of the appropriate type for the selected group.)

3. Click Add.

4. Repeat these steps to add more markers if desired. When you are finished click Close.

You do not need to use the marker on your map to add it to the list.

 

1. In the Map Markers pane click Add new icon group or Add new text marker group*.

2. Enter the name for the new group.

3. Build up the group by any of these methods:

• • Right-click the group name and add a new marker to the group.

  • Drag markers from the General icons group or General text markers group into the new group. (You will need to name the icons when you move them.)

  • Drag icons or text markers from other groups into the new group.

You can't use the same icon in different groups.

4. Optional (for icons) Right-click and select Mutually Exclusive - this means you can add only one marker from this group to any topic.
