MindView Documentation
Once you start developing your document in Word, you may realize that you have forgotten some
key ideas that you would like to brainstorm in MindView first. All you need to do in that case is to
import your Word document back into MindView, add the new ideas to your mind map, and then reexport
to Word.
Working with timelines
The MindView Timeline view is a great way of displaying time-related information such as company
history, marketing plans, production plans and historical data. Simply add dates or times to your
branches and switch to the Timeline view to see the information displayed along a horizontal time
axis. Different timescales (for example standard, weekly or daily) let you tailor the timeline to suit
your needs. You can zoom in or out, expand or contract the timeline scale, and condense empty
stretches of the timeline by inserting break marks.
Working on presentations and web sites
MindView has been optimized for storyboarding and planning web sites and multimedia
presentations, which you can then export to Microsoft® PowerPoint, MatchWare® Mediator or
HTML:
When storyboarding presentations, an idea in your mind map represents a slide (PowerPoint)
or a page (Mediator) in your presentation, a sub-idea represents a sub-page or sub-slide and
so on.
You can attach files to branches (ideas) in the mind map, such as Flash files, pictures, text,
sounds and videos. These files are included when you export to PowerPoint, Mediator or
HTML and displayed on their respective pages.
MindView lets you create hyperlinks, branch connections and other interactivity that is also
included when exporting.
The Export Wizards include a range of ready-made templates with built-in navigation, which
you are free to customize and save for further use.
MindView allows basic web editing during the HTML export. You can for instance place the
various elements where required on each individual page. No coding or scripting necessary!
Once exported, you can import your Mediator or PowerPoint presentation back into MindView if
you need to storyboard more pages or slides.
Using the ready-made templates
MindView provides you with detailed business and educational templates for use in any of the
standard Mind Mapping views or the Timeline view.
You can base your own documents on any of these templates, and customize them as required to
meet your particular needs. Comments and suggestions for expansion are given in their notes and
pop-up comments.
