Add Annotations & Info

Annotate...         Add Info

 

From an Open Cmap:

You can add descriptive text annotations to a Cmap. Annotations can be used to remind you where you left off during the creation of a Cmap. Another way to use annotations is by creating a comment or suggestion for someone else's Cmap. To create an annotation, click the Cmap where you want the annotation to appear, then select Annotate... from the Tools menu.


A new annotation will appear with fields for adding text, your name, and an email address. If you left-click the exit button, the annotation will not be saved. To save the annotation, left-click the minimize button.


Now when viewing the Cmap, the annotation you created appears as a yellow repositionable icon.






From an Open Cmap:

You can add viewable information and keywords to a concept in a Cmap. To add information to a concept, select a concept, then select Add Info... from the Tools menu.


The "Add Info" window opens, where you can add information to the concept. Information that is added in the box next to Mouse Over Info: will appear when the mouse pointer hovers above the concept. Keywords or other phrases may be added to the box next to Hidden Info: for use with the search tool. To transfer information added in the "Add Info" window to the selected concept, left-click OK.


Now when viewing the Cmap, you can mouse over a concept that has additional mouse over info and a box with that info will appear over the concept.
