TPAssist 2007 Q&A - Summary of Tasks Across Maps

Question:

How do I show due actions across all my maps? I have several maps and a number of interlinked (i.e. interdependent).


Answer:

You use the summairisation feature, which is accessed on "Tree Update". The "Proximity" style summary returns tasks based on due date.

The summarisation functionality supports multimaps. These maps need to hyperlinked from task topics with-in the current map. The Summarisation functionality piggy-backs on the Tree Update, which also supports multimaps, therefore to see a summary of all tasks across your maps, you need them hyperlinked.

Further information on multimap support can be found in the following places:

1. Help Pages --> Section 3, "User Reference", "Tree Update Reference".
2. Online Tutorials --> "MODULE 5 : Managing Complexity with Multiple Maps"
