Frequently Asked Questions

  • MindManager for SharePoint

    • What is Microsoft SharePoint?

      Microsoft SharePoint is a business collaboration platform that enables teams to connect through formal and informal business communities and to manage content throughout the information lifecycle. SharePoint solutions can be deployed on-premises or as hosted services. The consolidation of collaboration solutions onto SharePoint makes it possible to cut costs by lowering development costs, training and maintenance expenses and increasing IT and end-user productivity, all within a governable and compliant platform.

    • What is MindManager for SharePoint?

      MindManager for SharePoint provides faster and easier ways to find, organize and update SharePoint tasks and information. Accelerate projects and processes by accessing information across multiple SharePoint sites and lists in a single interactive MindManager view with bi-directional integration. Simplify SharePoint navigation with user-customizable SharePoint site maps and visualized search results.

      Users can also take advantage of the full power of MindManager, the leading desktop software for visually organizing and managing information and projects. Facilitate collaborative meetings to brainstorm, innovate and solve problems. Conduct research and develop powerful presentations, and author compelling documents.

    • What is this difference between MindManager for SharePoint & MindManager 8 for Windows?

      MindManager for SharePoint builds upon the award winning capabilities of MindManager 8 plus deep integration with SharePoint, including SharePoint dashboards, site explorers, content search, and easy wizards to visualize document lists, tasks, issues, and more.

      Maps can be shared between both applications however users of MindManager 8 for Windows will not be able to refresh MindManager for SharePoint’s dynamically linked content.

    • Can I use Mindjet Catalyst with MindManager for SharePoint?

      Mindjet Catalyst is a service that enables users to update and co-edit maps with a browser or with MindManager 8 for Windows. MindManager for SharePoint users can also subscribe to this service to co-edit general maps, store documents & files in workspaces, and conduct Web conferences. However, it is not advised to store maps with synchronized SharePoint data in Mindjet Catalyst as other users on browsers and MindManager 8 for Windows will not have the same synchronized SharePoint access.

    • How is SharePoint security maintained in MindManager for SharePoint?

      Security is maintained strictly within Microsoft SharePoint. MindManager for SharePoint logs into SharePoint with your provided credentials and will provide the same access to SharePoint as if you accessed SharePoint directly from your browser.


      The MindManager for SharePoint software uses your Windows credentials to log into SharePoint by default. In environments where ActiveDirectory is used to both authenticate users and manage SharePoint users, accessing SharePoint with MindManager for SharePoint is both seamless and secure since it uses the built in capabilities of Windows. For environments not connected to ActiveDirectory, SharePoint will prompt the user for a username and password, just as if you were accessing the SharePoint environment with a browser. This prompting is also handled via Windows.
