#MINDVIEW OFFLINE#

MindView Online lacks some features that advanced users may want but can only be found in the offline versions of the software such as analytical and statistical capabilities, Gantt charting, timelines, and the ability to sync with Excel. It also supports Word and Google Docs syncing and collaboration through a shared workspace. The online version of MindView is cloud-based and features mapping software, bibliography creation, and automatic citation. You should think carefully before deciding which one to use as the differences between the editions go beyond how you access the MindView software, each is priced individually too. There are three different variants of the MindView platform. MatchWare has six worldwide offices spread across the US, UK, Germany, France, Sweden, and Denmark, each of which is available by phone and email. If you need technical support (even after checking out the MindView FAQ), you can submit a ticket. From there, you can look through MatchWareвЂ™s relevant advice. Most likely, the tool you want will pop up as well as a вЂњGet HelpвЂќ prompt. If you need help using MindView or are searching for a particular tool, the best thing you can do is go to the toolbar, locate the lightbulb icon and type in what you need help with. After youвЂ™ve finished creating, you can add citations or links, and then export to other software like Excel by navigating to the вЂњFileвЂќ menu again. This means you can find which is the best visual representation of your information. When you start exploring the templates, youвЂ™ll see that you can generate different map-types with the same information. Luckily, you can sign up for a seminar, read MatchWareвЂ™s published whitepapers, or watch tutorials embedded in the program to get a deeper understanding of what everything does. Right off the bat, youвЂ™ll see for yourself how extensive a feature set MindView offers, and may even feel a bit overwhelmed. Under вЂњFile в†’ NewвЂќ, you can browse a selection of templates and get started exploring the software. If you are familiar with the Microsoft suite, you will feel very at-home.

Once you download the program, youвЂ™ll be directed to a screen with a very recognizable toolbar, designed to look a lot like other Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, and Access. On the MatchWare website, you can either purchase the MindView product or start with a free 30-day trial. (Image credit: Mindmatch) Interface and In Use
