As your mind map grows, parts of it may fall outside the display area and no longer be visible. MindView Online provides various viewing options that help you retain an overview of large mind maps.
You can minimize the ribbon and hide
the panels and text editor to make more room for the mind map in the map
workspace. For more information, see "Navigating
the map workspace".
You can use the scroll bars or your mouse wheel to bring parts of the mind map outside the display area back into view:
Scroll
your mind map using the vertical scroll bar or the mouse wheel.
Pan
your mind map using the horizontal scroll bar or by holding down Shift
while using the mouse wheel.
It can be useful to collapse one or more branches to get a better overview of large mind maps.
Click
the minus sign
next to a branch to collapse it and hide its sub-branches. The minus sign
changes into a plus
sign.
Click
the plus
sign to expand the
collapsed branch again.
The design of the minus and plus signs depends on the style of the mind
map. For more information on styles, see "Designing
a mind map".
You can press the Tab button on the keyboard to move the selection from one element in the map workspace to the next one. For example, if you have selected the root and then press Tab, the first main branch below the root is selected instead. If you press Tab repeatedly, you will move through all selectable elements in order.
Pressing Shift + Tab achieves the same thing but in reverse order.
You can apply a numbering scheme to the branches of your mind map, making it easier to identify where a particular branch belongs in the hierarchy.
Choose
Home, and click the label below
the Numbering Scheme
button to select a numbering
scheme in the menu.
Choose
Home | Numbering
Scheme
to toggle
the selected numbering scheme on or off. If you have not selected a numbering
scheme, the default scheme will be used.
You can select how many levels of sub-branches should be displayed in your mind map.
Choose View
| Detail Level
.
Select the desired detail
level in the menu.
At detail level 1, only the first level of branches below the root is displayed. Adding levels (up to detail level 4) will display more levels of branches (if any) in the mind map.
To show all detail levels,
select Show All Levels
.
When printing a mind map, only the visible branches are printed. If you
need to print the entire mind map, show all detail levels before printing.
For more information, see "Printing
a mind map".
You can select how much time and task information, if any, should be displayed under the root and branches of the mind map. For more information about time and task information, see "Entering time and task information".
Choose View
| Show/Hide
.
Select the data you want
to display in the menu.
The selected data is shown underneath the root and each branch in the entire mind map.
You can select which data to display for individual branches under the Format tab. For more information, see "Formatting a branch".
When printing a mind map or exporting it as a picture, all visible data
in the mind map is included in the print-out or the exported picture.
For more information, see "Printing
a mind map" and "Exporting
as a picture".
You can zoom in and out to change the level of magnification of your mind map. See "Zooming in and out" for more information.
You can focus on a particular branch in the mind map. See "Focusing on a branch" for more information.
You can use branch connections to quickly jump from branch to branch in your mind map. For more information, see "Creating branch connections".
