Send maps and Catalyst links

The best method to use for distributing your maps to others depends on whether the recipients are MindManager users.

Everyone:

You can send the map as a self-contained MindManager Viewer map in PDF or SWF format for viewing. MindManager Viewer files include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map. Viewer maps can viewed in a standard browser - no special software is required.

MindManager users only:

You can send a packaged map (and, optionally, its linked documents) in a .zip archive for viewing and editing. The recipients can unpack the map and related documents, and then view and edit them using MindManager.

Mindjet Catalyst
If the recipients are Catalyst users who are members of the workspace where the map resides, you can just send them a link to the map.

What do you want to do?

 

Send the current map

You can send the current map, Map Template, or Map Style to other recipients who are MindManager users. If you are conducting a review you can use the "for Review" option when you mail the map.

When you send a map, the current map, template or style (and optionally, its linked documents) are used to create a ZIP archive.

In the Linked Maps View the Send as Email command combines multiple linked map files into one ZIP file.

Send a map, template or style

  1. Open the map, template or style.

  2. Click the File tab, click Save & Send, click Send Using Email, and then click either Attachment or Attachment For Review.  

The two "Send" commands are similar. The "For Review" command adds a Review follow-up flag to the Outlook email and changes the subject line to "Review ..." . Also, the map automatically opens in Review mode on the recipient's system.

Create the ZIP archive

You will be prompted for options to use for the ZIP archive. These are the same steps used by the Pack and Go feature to create an archive.

The map(s) and documents are compressed into a ZIP archive, and an email message is created with the archive included as an attachment.
