Card Types

  • Basic card: A card is the basic unit. It can represent anything -- a person, place, object, or any idea at all.
  • List card: A card with some items in a list.
  • Region: Use regions to identify sections of the canvas.
  • Relationship: Drag the endpoints of the relationship tool to attach it to two cards and relate them.
  • Attributes: Categorize and filter cards in this map by metadata.
  • Waypoints: Present your ideas in a walk-through of your map.

Updates

  • Metrics dashboard iterations: Improve control over axis labels and adjust the timing of auto-refresh.
  • Feedback: Collect and integrate user feedback for ongoing improvements to mapping features.
  • Feature Requests: Maintain a backlog of feature ideas such as high contrast mode and better navigation tools.
