Search and filter tasks

With this functionality, you can find with ease all tasks from mind maps, concept maps, and Gantt charts and keep them organized. You do not need to look in each mind map or Gantt Chart to find tasks and not even wait for the tasks notifications through e-mail. You will see them in one place. In this way, you will get a better overview of all projects and tasks assigned to you and others.

Furthermore, you will be able to identify what are your deadlines and what tasks are urgent.

Search and filter tasks in a mind map

In a mind map, you can filter tasks by:

  • assignee (user with an account or ghost user)
  • hashtags
  • icons

Search in a mind map

You can see the tasks assigned to you or someone else with Search or Filter options. You can also look for any topics in a mind map, even if they are not tasks.

With the Search option, all search results will be highlighted while the rest of the mind map will appear blurred.

Filter tasks by Assignee

You can assign tasks to one or more of your collaborators, and they can assign tasks back to you. Filter tasks by their assignee - either by the names of registered Mindomo users or by searching for the names of the ghost users’ you've created.

Search and filter tasks assigned to Ghost Users

With ghost users, you can monitor tasks’ progress without involving your colleagues on the map. You can filter and search tasks based on the assigned ghost user(s). The ghost user name will appear in your Tasks list and Search.

Filter tasks by Hashtag

Hashtags help you tag words in topics to find them easier later on. You will see accurate matches for your search that feature individual phrases in the searched content.

To add a hashtag, type '#' and your word right after that, then press Enter. It should look like this #online.

Hashtags will appear in the filtering bar, along with the number of times they were used in your mind map (1).

If you filter by hashtags, the results will show the topics that contain them and all the task-related subtopics, even if they don't contain those specific hashtags.

Filter tasks by Icons

You can also filter by icons, which will be shown in the Filter section, below the Hashtag section. You will see the icons you have used in the Search bar and you can choose from there.

Search and filter tasks from the Dashboard

To get an overview of all your tasks from all mind maps, concept maps, and Gantt Charts, you can search and filter them right from the Dashboard. You can see tasks with upcoming due dates, urgent tasks, updated tasks, completed tasks, etc.

When you click on the Search bar, a list of queries and a short description for each will be shown.
