Sync topic alerts with Outlook

To sync your topic alerts with Outlook you must have the Topic alerts sync option enabled (it is enabled by default). With this option enabled, the reminders you have created using MindManager will appear as appointments in Outlook as well. You'll see them on your Outlook calendar and you can view and modify the reminder information just as you would any other appointment.

If you prefer to create topic alerts without creating corresponding Outlook appointments, disable the Topic Alert sync option.

• While topic alerts can be viewed and edited in Outlook, they can only be created and removed using MindManager.

View or modify a topic alert appointment in Outlook

1. Open the appointment.

• Right-click the topic alert icon , and then click Open Microsoft Outlook Appointment.

2. Modify the information. Your changes will be automatically reflected in the Topic Alert.

• A reminder is not set in Outlook for any appointments created from topic alerts. The reminders you receive will be from the MindManager Topic Alert Service. If you enable Outlook's reminder feature for any appointment originating as a topic alert you will receive two reminders (one from Outlook's reminder system and one from MindManager's) for each Topic Alert.

• The topic alert time's status is not automatically changed in Outlook (ie it shows as "Free"). You can modify this status in Outlook if desired.
