Create visualized product from mind map

Create a visualized product by selecting Import From XMind to import a mind map into PolicyCenter.

Before you begin

  • Set Product Design Mode to Designer or above.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to one of the following screens:
    • On the Product Management screen, the APD Managed tab, select Import From XMind.
    • On the New Submissions screen, the Visualized Products tab, select Add Product > From XMind.
  2. In the Load Product popup, browse to select your mind map.

    Default additional fields? specifies whether default values are created for metadata fields labeled (*PD).

    If Product Design Mode is Developer and you are importing a mind map, Default additional fields? appears. The default setting is No. If you select Yes, default values are created for metadata fields labeled (*PD).

    Only set Default additional fields? to Yes to automatically create the (*PD) fields so that you can quickly generate a product for demonstration or testing. When designing a product for actual use, you do not want to automatically create these fields. When designing a product, create short names that follow best-practice naming conventions agreed upon by the organization or team.

  3. Click Update.
    PolicyCenter imports the mind map and adds the product to the table.
