Anatomy of an iThoughts map.

When you first fire up iThoughts you will be presented with a single ‘Help’ map as on the left. Select the + symbol in the top right to create a new map. Give it a name - and perhaps an icon. Click ‘Save’ and the map will be created and automatically opened.

To create your first topic, simply double tap anywhere on the background. A new topic will be created and the keyboard will be displayed.

Once you have given the topic a name, select the ‘disclosure’ (blue circle with white >) next to the topic to edit its attributes - which can be:

1. •2x Icons
   

2. •Shape (Oval, Rectangle etc.)
   

3. •Note Field (with hyperlinks)
   

4. •Colour
   

5. •Start/Due Date
   

6. •Progress (% complete)
   

Change some of these settings and press ‘Save’ from the toolbar. You will now see the new topic:

There are a whole bunch more ways to manipulate your ideas - please have a browse through the FAQ for more details.
