What is new in MindManager 8.1 versus 8.0

 

MindManager 8 Service Pack 1 Functional Updates

The following updates have been made in MindManager 8 for Windows Service Pack 1.

Mindjet Share

 

MindManager 8 Service Pack 1 features an update to support the publishing of Mindjet Player files to a Mindjet hosted environment. Now you can email links to a hosted Mindjet Player file or post directly to your Facebook LinkedIn, MySpace, blogs, and other social environments directly from MindManager 8.

Recipients or viewers can view your map inside their browser simply by clicking on the link and do not require MindManager.

See Sharing Maps in the MindManager online help for more information about Mindjet Share.

Mindjet Player

Mindjet Player maps are now generated via a Mindjet web service instead of locally on your desktop computer. This will require users to be connected to the Internet when trying to create a Mindjet Player file, either via the Export as Mindjet Player or Send as Mindjet Player functionality.

NOTE: The use of a web service to create a Mindjet Player file is for transformation purposes only and no data is stored on Mindjet servers.

Mindjet Catalyst Support

MindManager 8 Service Pack 1 features an update to support the new Mindjet Catalyst collaborative environment (which replaces the former Mindjet Connect). See the Mindjet Catalyst FAQ for more information.

Mindjet Catalyst features the same co-editing capabilities to map with your peers at the same time and the same secure workspaces for collaborative file sharing, but also features improved web conferencing capabilities, such as Video, VoIP, and support for external web conferences.

Web Services

StrikeIron: The StrikeIron web service for Dun and Bradstreet searches has been removed. StrikeIron has discontinued support for this web service.
