How does MindGenius work?

The MindGenius Ribbon Interface allows for easy access to the most commonly used features and functionality and allows you to follow a process of working with your information to understand it and turn it into knowledge, before actioning your task or project. 

Stage 1

The inception of your project or task.

The Home Ribbon gives you all of the functionality you need to perform an initial brainstorming, either as an individual or a group.

Use Type and Return to quickly capture your ideas, Drag and Drop to sort and add structure and Map Explorer to navigate through or focus in on specific areas of your map.

This tab also contains a timer to help you keep on track in your brainstorming, the Questions panel to prompt ideas and the ability to change the layout of your map to suit whichever type of task you are working on.

Task based uses...

Insert

The Insert Ribbon allows you to build on your initial ideas by adding multiple file formats to branches such as PDFs, web links, Excel spreadsheets or Word documents, meaning you can gather all of the required information for a project into the one map.

This is also where you can start to personalise your map, or give extra focus to ideas by adding pictures, floating text or mental connections.

Format 

Continue to personalise your map, or prepare for presentations by editing the map style, branch styles, adding boundaries and more.

Analyze 

Now you can start to build on your understanding of your map and turn your collection of ideas into knowledge.

Add Categories to see at a glance which ideas are linked, filter to get a different view on your data, and create Category Centric maps that give you a completely different perspective, enhances analysis and facilitates breakthrough.

Tasks

You can add resources, timings, priorities and prepare actions to be exported to MS Outlook on this tab. You can also sort and filter your data to keep on top of who needs to do what.

This all adds up to easier task management.  

Export

Now you understand your tasks and have outlined how you are going to undertake your project, it's time to share your thinking.

You can either do this via a map, or by exporting to a host of standard business applications such as MS Word, PowerPoint, Project or Excel, or PDF and html. 

Tools

This contains all of the extras you would expect, like a spell checker, the ability to review the word count, access to sample maps and templates, and our Help files.
