Understanding MYmap is Quite Easy
Use MYmap to brainstorm, organize and share ideas. Enter a generic term, your topic. Add aspects describing it. MYmap connects the aspects to the topic by drawing lines. Describe the newly added aspects in greater detail, and you’ll get a tree structure, your map.
#1 Specify Subject
Start your work with MYmap by specifying the subject of your map. In order to do so, enter the desired title into the Name text box of the New Map window. Confirm with OK. In order to change the subject, select the map center by clicking it. After a short delay, click again, and the insertion point is shown. Type the new title, and confirm using the Enter key.
#2 Capture Main Topics
Add the main topics of the subject in question. Double-click an empty part of your map, i. e. anywhere except in the map center (but it is a good idea to select a location close to it). MYmap creates a new main branch, connects it to the map center and shows the insertion point. Type the desired aspect and press Enter. Create more main branches in different locations.
#3 Add Details
Add more keywords to describe the aspects you have just captured in greater detail. In order to do so, point to a main branch and perform a double click. MYmap creates a sub-branch, adds it to the main branch and shows the insertion point. Type the desired partial aspect. Repeat these steps in order to create more sub-branches. Double-clicking a sub-branch always creates a new outline level.
#4 Tidy Map
When you have finished adding your thoughts, improve your map. There are various things you can do:
- Modify layout: Point to a main branch, press and hold the left mouse button and drag the main branch to its new location (where there must not be any other object).
- Modify structure: Drag a sub-branch to a main branch or another sub-branch. MYmap highlights this target object using a cyan (green) and magenta (red) rectangle. If you point to the cyan part while releasing the mouse button, you will move the dragged object to the same level as the target object. If you point to the magenta area, you will make the dragged object a sub-object of the target object.
- Delete objects: Point to an object (main branch or sub-branch). MYmap shows a red cross at the bottom of the object. Double-click it.
- Restore deleted objects: Select Edit → Recycle Bin → Restore [Object].
- Undo editing: If anything goes wrong, select Edit → Undo.
#5 Share Map
If you are satisfied with your work results, you can pass your map to others. You can find the required commands in the File menu: Save, Export und Send via E-Mail.
