Welcome to the June issue of Olympic News.

In this issue:

  • Power Markers Version 2 Released
  • OPTi-P2 Update
  • Small Team Licence Offers

New version of Power Markers™ for MindManager® brings dashboard maps to life

We are pleased to tell you that version 2 of Power Markers™ for MindManager® is now available for download.

Power Markers™ is an extension for Mindjet MindManager® 7 and 8 for Windows, and makes it easy to work with your maps by automatically creating to-do lists from them. So as well as representing your information or project visually, you can see the status of your map at a glance, with all your next actions collected together in one list, wherever they are in the map.

This is perfect for “dashboard” maps that represent work in progress. You can mark actions and key information points anywhere in your map, and Power Markers will track them in the “Hot Lists” so that you can always get to them with one click. It makes even the biggest maps simple to navigate and maintain, greatly enhancing their value and extending their useful lifetime.

FREE White Paper

Dashboard maps with MindManager and Power MarkersTo read more about using MindManager® for “dashboard” maps, download our free white paper, which defines the unique characteristics of dashboard maps, and shows you how to design them.

If you have not tried Power Marker™s before, then you did the right thing by waiting – because version 2 now comes in two editions (Standard and Pro), and the Standard edition is free! If you already use Power Markers™, then you will find powerful new features in version 2:

  • Active Legends reverse the logic of marker legends, by letting you define your map markers from within the map itself. This makes it easy to copy useful map markers from one map to another, and version 2 includes complete sets of map markers as map parts – just drag them into the map and click refresh to configure the markers in your map
  • Automatic Markers detect special conditions on topics in your map, and assigns a map marker to the topic. For example, it can automatically mark unfinished actions that are due this week, or topics that contain attachments. This makes it easy to create effective dashboard maps that keep you in control, and help you to pinpoint vital information in a couple of clicks. There are over 300 conditions that can be detected by Power Markers™
  • Ready-to-use Template Dashboards and Map Parts make it easy to apply Power Markers™ to your most frequently-used maps
  • Special upgrade pricing to the Pro edition for existing users of version 1
