SharePoint map parts Wizards

When you add a SharePoint map part to your map, a wizard guides you through the steps for defining the topic's filter properties including the source and filter criteria (if needed). These properties control which SharePoint items are displayed as results.

You will also use the wizards when you modify the SharePoint map part's filter properties.

First step - Select Sites

The first step in every wizard prompts you to choose one or more SharePoint site connections.

You can define and manage a list of site connections using the SharePoint options.

Most of the wizard prompts are self-explanatory, but here are some specifics for each wizard:

Specify any combination of filter criteria:

Who created the item (the name or email address must be an exact match)

Created By – This can be you, Anyone or a user name you provide. If you provide a user name, make sure it is First Name, Last Name (John Doe) so that it can be found in SharePoint. You can also use an email address for this field, which will match the corresponding SharePoint member with the same email address.
Start Date – The start of the event. Select the date field and choose a date from the calendar, or select a pre-defined timeframe from the drop-down list.
End Date – Similar to Start Date.
Keyword filter – Enter a word or words to search for in all text-based fields of Calendar Items. Separate terms by commas.

Enter any combination of filter criteria.

Select whether to return tasks Assigned to yourself (Me), all users (Anyone) or another user identified by their name (First Name and Last Name together) or email address.

Note that selecting Anyone may slow down performance due to the possibility of an extremely large result set.

Filter tasks based on SharePoint task due date
Filter tasks based on SharePoint priority (SharePoint has only three priorities)
Filter tasks based on a word (or words) contained in the Title, Description, or any text field in the task. Separate keywords by commas.
Filter tasks based on the SharePoint task status field by (Any or Not Started or Completed), or select Range Between and enter the range for the SharePoint % Complete field.

The Issues map part has filter criteria identical to the Tasks map part, except that it uses the "Status" field as the last criteria.

Enter any combination of filter criteria.

The Title field only searches titles. Enter one or more terms you want to search the titles for. Separate terms by commas.

You can specify dates when documents were created or modified.
You can also choose to see only documents created by or checked out to a specific person.

Select all the item types you want to include in the results.

If your site(s) contains a large volume of content, selecting multiple item types can slow the search.

Enter any combination of filter criteria:

Enter a search term for the item title and choose a search type: Equals, Starts With, Like, or Doesn’t Equal.
Include or exclude keywords to further refine search. Separate keywords by commas, and enclose phrases in quotes.
The keyword search works just like the SharePoint keyword search with one exception: direct links to documents are not included in the results.

You can only enter terms in the Excludes field if the Includes field is not blank.

The results for this part will include matching items, as well as the lists that contain them.

For example, if you searched for "Create" using a Starts With search:

A matching task "Create project plan" is included in the results.
The list that contains this task, "Beta project tasks" is also included in the results.

This map part does not support full-text search of the contents of documents.

You can select only a single list type.

MindManager then checks the site(s) and displays all lists of that type. Select which lists you want to search.

The filter criteria selections are based on the type of list you selected.
