Use the dashboard

Applies to MindManager for SharePoint

The SharePoint Dashboard creates a new map with all your issues, tasks and calendar items from the site(s) you choose. You can create a new dashboard at any time, or you can save the dashboard map and have it open automatically each time you start MindManager.

You can also create multiple dashboards. For example, you could create dashboards for each project you are working on by specifying a different SharePoint site for each project dashboard.

  1. On the Ribbon's SharePoint tab, click Create Dashboard.

  2. In the Dashboard wizard, choose the site(s) you want the map parts to query.

A new map opens containing map parts that display tasks and  issues assigned to you, and calendar items for this week and this month.

You can modify the site connection and filter criteria for these map parts just as you would for other SharePoint map parts. You can further customize your dashboard by adding other topics to the map. These can include"normal" map topics, as well as other smart map parts from the SharePoint tab or from the Map Parts task pane. For example, you could include a Google search map part to show you the latest information about a topic or product.

The topics in the dashboard automatically refresh when you open the map, and at regular intervals (if the Periodic Refresh option is enabled), so you always see updated information.

If you want your dashboard map to open each time you start MindManager you can set an option to make this your default map.
