Idea Generation with your Online Mindmap

Mind mapping is the fastest and easiest way for your team to capture, organise and visualise thoughts and solutions.

Structure your ideas and thoughts innovatively with just a few clicks and intuitive handling, then share them with other teams. For many use cases, IQProcess does not require registration. You can easily export mind map elements as images in various formats or as a PDF file.

Create your Online Mind Map in a few Steps

This “Create an Online Mind Map” guide walks you step by step, using a practical example, from the initial idea to the final visualisation of its components. If you also want to create a process diagram as an event-driven process chain (EPC), its extension or a flowchart, you will find a dedicated guide here.

For intuitive brainstorming and visual implementation of your mind map, IQProcess software is available. You can use IQProcess largely free of charge and without a login barrier on our website. This “Create an Online Mind Map” guide provides the know-how required for each step in a practical and concise format. For deeper understanding (e.g., explanations of additional symbols, general process modeling rules) you will find further information at the end.

1. Online Mind Map—What Topic should be visualised?

In this example, we create a brainstorming session on the topic Notes.’ To do this, drag and drop the mind map element into the canvas and write the central topic into the first field. From there, you can easily create additional fields with one click, which are directly connected to the first field. These can be labeled and moved individually.

2. Online Mind Map—Create and edit Hierarchies with one Click

To add subpoints to a category, select the element and click the plus sign to add new fields. There are no limits here!
New fields are automatically aligned at equal spacing and can then be individually arranged. You can see an example of how this works in the short demo video.
