3D Topicscape Lite 1.20

3D Topicscape Lite 1.20  is a useful tool which is designed to help users organize information and manage data as well.

3D Topicscape Lite uses the concept-mapping or mindmapping approach to allow ideas and information to be organized, but in place of the usual 2D sheet, it works in 3D. This lets you plan your work as the ideas flow and see your to do list in an unlimited 3D mindmapping landscape.

If you think visually, you now have a new way of managing To Do list, projects and organizing information, computer files, and web pages. Concept mapping and mindmapping are powerful tools. But a major challenge for business users of mindmaps or concept mapping comes when the practical limits of a flat sheet are reached. This happens on any substantial project, yet that is the time when you most need the ability to scan the information landscape. 3D Topicscape overcomes this by allowing effectively unlimited levels of hierarchy.

It provides zooming, and flight through the information landscape. And if you use mindmapping software to organize and store files, you will appreciate Topicscapes ability to store multiple files at any node (topic). Users can find their information using the instant word search, but the right keyword or phrase doesnt always come to mind. Then, Topicscapes powerful concept searching comes into play: By flying and zooming in the 3D landscape, and digging down (or up) to different levels, success is much more likely. And a topic is allowed to appear in more than one place. Each will be just another instance of the same topic - change one and they all change. Topicscape is a valuable addition to the toolbox of project managers, researchers, legal professionals, consultants, medical professionals and anyone struggling with information overload.

Major Features:

1. 3D interface giving flight with seven degrees of freedom
2. Flexible structure: Topics may have many children and many parents ('cloned' topics supported without copying)
3. Re-orient your view around any topic
4. File-types that can be stored in Topicscape, viewed and exported
5. Files introduced to Topicscape may be moved to it, copied to it or just pointed to, in their original location outside Topicscape.
6. Occurrences may appear in many places and all refer to a single file ('cloned' occurrences)
7. Topics and occurrences may have descriptions added, occurrences may have source, author, etc. added allowing much better notes to be retained about stored files.
8. Extensive implementation of drag and drop for supported file types on the same PC
9. Paste special functions (OLE) with wrapper file made automatically
10. Fileless occurrences for quick notes
11. Built-in, robust relational database (Firebird) to hold all information management data that you add
12. A Topicscape can be an occurrence in a Topicscape allowing webs of Topicscapes
13. Quickzoom to inspect any part of the landscape quickly. Easily zoom back, or stay
14. Back up along past flight-path and go back to past Current Topics
15. Built-in demonstrations of 3D flying and basic Topicscape operations
16. The Details Panel: 256-character topic and occurrences descriptions
17. Information management features
    • Intelligent (weighted) word check of new topic names to help reduce duplication
    • Dragging in folders to make group of topics with the same structure
    • Group deletes (topic and all its descendants unless shared with another topic)
    • 'Past activity' items stored in the History List.
    • Topicscape Islands for detached topics (topics not associated with the main body)
18. Web research support
    • MHT-making capability that is often better than Internet Explorer, with queuing capability.
    • Drop a web Favicon on the field and a topic will be made automatically to contain it
19. Searching
    • Sorting the Hit List (results of a search)
    • Autopilot flight from results in the Hit list to a hit in the 'Scape
    • Advanced Search Panel carries a drop-down history of past search phrases
    • Filter topic and occurrence results by date modified
    • Noisewords (stopwords) list to avoid excessive search hits
20. Import / Export / Compatibility with other products
    • Import MindManager(R) files to make Topicscapes via outlined-numbered text files
    • Import Personal Brain(R) 3 files to make Topicscapes from a Brain-exported .pba file
    • Import functions using XML or folders to make a new Topicscape
    • Export a Topicscape structure to a text file indented for reading
    • Exchange of Topicscape files (.3DT) between SE and PE Pro or PE Lite
21. Robust
    • Extensive data checks and fixes with a full Data Repair Wizard
22. Scope
    • Topicscape Box included for quickly saving items for later inclusion in Topicscape
