Mind Map View
This post is also available in: Deutsch
In this article:
Overview
Lists and Tables are not enough for creative work? We offer a more flexible space view – the Mind Map view. It allows users to organize ideas, tasks, and information in a non-linear, hierarchical structure. It helps teams and individuals break down complex topics into smaller, interconnected components, making it easier to explore relationships, generate new ideas, and plan projects visually.
This view is especially useful for brainstorming, strategic planning, and knowledge mapping, offering an intuitive way to think through concepts and structure workflows collaboratively. A Mind Map view is a graphical representation of the relations between cards. The most visual and individual way of planning and task arrangement.
Example: The Green Week space with cards presented in the Mind Map view.
