Save a Cmap

 

 

From an open Cmap:

Select File, then either Save Cmap if you intend to save editing on an existing Cmap, or Save Cmap As to save a new Cmap. We will use Save Cmap As to demonstrate how to save a new Cmap.


The "Save Cmap As" window will appear. Here, you can label your Cmap, give it a focus question, and assign keywords to it. The Author, Organization, and Email text fields are where you can add additional identifying information. These fields may be already filled with default values. The values are taken from Preferences... under Edit from the "Views - CmapTools" window.


The next image shows the "Save Cmap As" window filled with identifying information. At the top of the window, there is a computer button that lists the contents of the My Cmaps folder, and a globe button that lists the servers that are a part of Places. The computer and globe buttons give you the option of saving your Cmap locally, or saving it on a Cmap server that you have permission to use. For our example, we will left-click Save to save the Cmap to My Cmaps.


The "Saving Cmap" window will show the progress of the save request.


Switch to the "Views - CmapTools" window. The Cmap you saved will appear under the My Cmaps heading.
