FILTERING TEMPLATES and Adv. Viewing Strategy
Hi all!
I setup "Template" branches for maps so that each time a new major topic/Node is created, the template of most used child nodes can be pasted in. This keeps collaborators organizing information the same way as myself.
Theoretical Example:
BOOK> Moby Dick > ["template" pasted here, such as these children] ISBN, AUTHOR, SUMMARY, ETC.
In many cases, only a few of my template nodes may be populated by collaborators with further children or additional content, so some remain essentially blank, adding extreme amounts of excess, useless visual distraction.
I'd like a way to be able to filter / hide / exclude / collapse those template nodes for which no content or children were added. The trick is that they may be at differing outline levels, so outline level alone won't do what's needed for me.
The template method I'm using to standardize content collaboration works excellent and provides a nice structure for collaborators to fill out. Now it needs refinement by creating means of excluding nodes which were not 'filled out'. I'm willing to code if necessary on xmind files if necessary but does anyone have any other creative filtering ideas to achieve this without coding?
Thnx! Dave

One thing that came to mind is a default style for the map where text color is X. Template branches are created in a different text color, and hence when those master template branches (often stored under a node in my maps called "TEMPLATES") are copied and pasted onto a new node, they have a different text color than any default colored text added to them when new nodes are created off of the template's nodes.
? any thoughts
