Add SharePoint map parts

Applies to MindManager for SharePoint

You can add SharePoint map parts to your map from the Ribbon's SharePoint tab, or from the Task Pane's Map Parts tab.  

When you add a SharePoint map part to your map, a wizard appears automatically to help you choose one or more SharePoint sites and define a filter.

MindManager contacts the SharePoint sites you specified and uses the filter to find matching items. A subtopic is created for each SharePoint item found. These topics are linked to the SharePoint items, and are re-synced when they are refreshed.

You can choose from the following types of topics: Tasks, Documents, Calendar Items, Site Explorer, Calendar Items, Content Search and List Items. See descriptions of these topic types.

1. On the Ribbon, click the SharePoint tab.

2. On your map, select a topic. (The SharePoint map part will become a subtopic of this topic.)

3. On the Ribbon, click the SharePoint map part you want to add.

You can also drag SharePoint map parts onto your map from the Map Parts task pane (under  Web Services - SharePoint).

4. Follow the steps in the wizard to specify the source and search criteria for the results.

When you have finished using the wizard, the topic appears on your map, displaying results subtopics that match the filter properties you defined. (You'll see a "Loading..." icon   while MindManager queries the server.)

If your system can't connect to the SharePoint server (due to an error in the URL or an interrupted connection) the parent topic will display an icon  showing that the map part is disconnected.

The results topics are synced to their associated SharePoint items, and updated whenever the topic is refreshed.

Each results topic has two icons that connect it to its associated SharePoint item: a hyperlink (shown as a browser icon, for example ) and a SharePoint connection icon . You can click these icons to edit the item.

You can also edit and move or copy SharePoint topics within the current map, or to a different map.
