Resource selection: Inconsistent Usability

Why can I add resources once with a mouse click, but under the "Tasks" tab I have to laboriously select them from a dropdown list?

Hello Mr. Hostettler,

there are several ways to add resources:


  • Select a branch and click on the desired resource in the Map Index
  • Write the name of the resource in the Task Info tab in the Resources field or select it here via dropdown.
  • With MindManager 21 you can also select and assign a resource by typing the "@" character in the topic text.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best regards

Hello and thank you for the answer. The question was about the inconsistency in the different dialogue windows or forms. From a usability perspective, I don't see the point in solving the same thing one way in one case and another way in another case. As a Mindmanager supporter, I regularly experience that users get confused by such (numerous) weaknesses in Mindmanager.
