not mean to select multiple nodes).
________________________________________________________________________
Type: Info Message
Title: ???
Occurs when: trying to drag and drop named style to a concept from Views
You can’t add named styles as a resource to a concept.
If you are trying to apply a style to a concept, then you should add the style to the
list of named files in the Styles Window for that map.
(second part should be added),
another dumb question – how do I apply a saved style to a new map.
I can apply it to map components, but it is not obvious how to apply a saved style to a
while map.
Format – reset default files from the menu doesn’t seem to work – does the first named
style become the default for that map?
Discussion Thread messages
Title: New Discussion Thread
Message Type: Error
Occurs when: you try to create a discussion thread without filling out a name
Message Error: you must provide a name for the discussion thread.
(message goes to back and won’t let you continue).

Error: you must provide a user identifier for yourself when sending messages to the
discussion thread
Error: the password in the two password fields are (should be is) different.
Error: you must provide a password
(Required fields spelled incorrectly).
Add background image does not seem to allow you to go to local machine – only my
cmaps and places – would have to copy things over first. Looks like it is supposed to go
to local machine (folder icon is there).
Edit properties does not seem to go anywhere.
Find and Find next options are the same
Find
Find next
find all
cancel
find all
cancel
Find next
Find next
(maybe don’t need both options on the menu if choices are same?)
invalid name: please enter a name
occurs when no name is entered for a new style.
Quick Help Comments
Note : the views window is the only location you can drag and drop a folder into
CMapTools (this is in Quick Help under adding resources and is sort of confusing).
Change?
The only location in CMapTools to which you can drag and drop an entire folder of
resources is the Views Window.
Occurs when: you try to drag and drop a folder from Views to a concept
Message: You cannot create a resource link to a folder.
Type: Information
Title: invalid resource link
Why does the splash screen come up behind some of the messages.
11
THESE ARE MOSTLY FROM VIEWS
Add Resources box from Views Menu
More Options --- change to “Add more than one resource or a folder of
resources”
The major thing that More Options appears to do that is different is to allow you to
add more than one resource at a time. It also lets you edit associated information
and maintain copied folders of files.
More Options gives you a chance to add descriptions, keywords and folder information,
as well as recording information about resource types. It can also be used to add more
than a single resource at a time.
Not clear what folder information does – can you create a new folder or add a folder to
put all resources in. it looks like it just maintains whatever folder you copy information
over from.
Add to list
Change to
Add to list of resources in Views
Cancel
In “More Options” Box
Edit …. --- change to “Edit information for selected resource.
Import tabbed text – do not get a message?
Do not get a message when you try to import the wrong type of file …
Actually tries to import the file in some cases when file is not a straight text file –
gives no information or warning message.
Tabbed text also does not appear to represent propositions that are redundant –
possibly strips them out? If so user should be warned or perhaps given option
Sometimes does not appear to work if you keep importing file with same name
Saving map “new tabbed” – is current message
Saving new map “new tabbed” in (Location of file)
Saving changes to map “new tabbed” in (Location of file)
12
Open and close on views menu are sort of weird. “Open “ opens My Cmaps in a new
window. “Close” closes the views menu.
Add Web Page in Views Menu
(possibly change some URL to web page)
Occurs when: in Add URL – when no information has been entered
Invalid Input: You must enter a name (triangle with exclamation point)
Change to:
Add Web Page: To add a web page resource, you need to enter a descriptive name
and the URL address.
Invalid Input: You must enter a URL
Change to
Add Web Page To add a Web Page resource, you need to enter the URL address.
(no message is given when the URL is successfully added).
__________________________________________________
Export Folder as Web Page
Select Folder
(this lets you select the folder on your local computer in which you want to save the
folder of web pages) -- does not tell you to create a folder ahead of times – just
dumps into whatever folder you choose.
Exporting the folder to “c:/…..)
Choosing select folder does not let you browse
In addition, even though supposedly you are seeing all files, you only see folders.
____________________________________________
Save changes to untitled
Do you want to save changes to untitled
Yes No Cancel
Edit rename
Nothing happens if no file selected (or if folder selected – can folders be renamed?)
It looks like you can only rename files but not folders?
Confirm Folder Delete
Are you sure you want to delete the folder “_____” and remove all of its contents
(would be nice if we could somehow highlight the folder name.
Yes No
13
(what should the default be here … e.g. if a person said yes without meaning to, this
could be a big problem … but is pretty much a convention to do this way).
There is no message to tell you that the folder is being deleted. ?

search
what to search??
Show and hide refine search (not clear what refine search means).
14
Select what to search (refers to possible type of resource and different types of
resource properties) not search topic – sort of ambiguous.
Not clear when advanced search options would be available
______________________________________________________
Styles – sort of strange that format styles does not open styles window (sometimes
does?? And should)
Window – show styles does not toggle for styles on and styles off. Only way to close
styles is by clicking on X in upper right corner of styles box. (same for navigation tool
and views – cannot toggle to hide)
How does a background become part of a style – or can it?
Generate new layout
Generate new layout
ok (maintain new layout and continue)
(go back to original layout)
cancel
(none of these options saves new layout)….
Background (change, position, remove) – this is part of menu, but may be too
abbreviated – change means changing background, position means changing
position ….
Not clear what check mark and X in upper left hand corner mean.
Spelling check does not determine whether no concepts are actually entered.
Annotate puts map back in the background – grayed out … when annotations are
added they can be closed to move map to foreground. Can be moved when closed.
Can be put next to a concept but are not really a resource …
might need a way to distinguish – the icon is slightly different and pretty standard
for annotations.
Presentation – I don’t know what I am doing .. but doesn’t seem to work properly
…. Can’t get out of the full screen preview. Unclear how to advance. Seems to have
background that was chosen for different maps than the ones I included. Does not
show my maps. Possibly is still being worked on.
15
Edit does not let you delete annotations to the map, no message given
Type: Alert Message(??) (triangle with exclamation point)
Title: Map of Cmaps
Message: Resource { ….} is not inside a folder. Map of Cmaps request cannot be
processed.
OK
Not clear when you can actually get a Map of Cmaps - is for a folder, not a map
Map of cmaps is not browsable – e.g. couldn’t find local link
Validate and fix links process has finished successfully
Number of maps checked 1
Number of broken links 18
(message goes to back and can’t see it …)
map of cmaps does not actually have links to other maps that work.this is also a good
place to see all the messages about validating and fixing links.
Find versus search – find is within a map, search across a variety of sources .
Find this map in map of cmaps – requires map to be open. Generates map of maps within
folder, regardless of whether they are integrated.
Some really weird stufrf happned when I generated a map of cmaps in one of my local
folders called maryjo – if I try to browse map of cmaps
Checking map of cmaps occurs in map of cmaps has already been created for the folder.
Map is highlighted.
If map of cmaps has not already been created, there are many messages that occur related
to building of the map of cmaps, before the find can take place.
Map of cmaps message: No Cmaps were found trying to create Map of Cmaps for “

16
There are no concept maps in the folder ________. A Map of CMaps cannot be created
