Creating a custom Map Part

You can create a custom Map Part to speed the entry of frequently-used topics, or you can modify an existing Map Part to tailor it to your specific needs. The new or modified part will be available in the library's Map Parts pane.

To create a custom Map Part from a map:

  1. Begin a new map or open an existing map.

  2. Enter or arrange the topics you want to include in the Map Part. Only the first (upper-right) main topic and its descendants will be saved in the Map Part.

    Importanr:A Map Part can only include one branch of the map; it will not include the central topic or any other topics on the map.

  3. Choose File > Save As.

  4. In the File Format list, choose MindManager Map Part.

  5. Enter the name of the Map Part. It will automatically be assigned the extension .mmmp.

    To make the Map Template available in the MindManager Library Map Parts pane, MindManager automatically saves it in the default folder:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Mindjet/Mindjet MindManager/13/{language}/Library/Map Parts

    - where the tilde (~) character indicates your home folder
    - where {language} is the language name for your installed copy of MindManager, for example, English.

To customize an existing Map Part:

  1. Choose File > Open and navigate to the Map Parts folder, usually:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Mindjet/Mindjet MindManager/13/{language}/Map Parts/Templates

    - where the tilde (~) character indicates your home folder
    - where {language} is the language name for your installed copy of MindManager, for example, English.

  2. Choose the Map Part you want to modify, and then click Open.

  3. Edit the Map Part's content.

  4. Choose File > Save As.

  5. In the File Format list, choose MindManager Map Part.

  6. Enter the name of the Map Part. It will automatically be assigned the extension .mmmp.

    To make the Map Part available in the MindManager Library Map Parts pane, MindManager automatically saves it in the default Map Parts folder

The new or modified Map Part will be available from the Library's selection of Map Parts. You can distribute this Map Part to other MindManager users. They should copy it to the default Map Parts folder on their systems to make it available in the Library.
