What is a Noun Type?
Information in MindModel is stored as nouns and statements.
Nouns are the people, places, things, ideas, etc. that are recorded in a model.
Statements are facts about those nouns.
To help you organize your data, nouns in MindModel are organized into categories, called "noun types".
Person, organization, and skill are examples of noun types.
"John Doe", "MindModel Corporation" and "web site design" are examples of nouns.
What does the Help with Noun Types Window do?
The Help with Noun Types Window provides you with a list of all the noun types in MindModel.
Choose the "Help with Noun Types" command from the Help Menu in MindModel to open the Help with Noun Types Window.
The Help with Noun Types Window
The scrolling list contains all the noun types in MindModel.
Finding a Noun Type
You can use the "Find" area at the bottom of the window to find a specific noun type.
Enter part of the noun type you are looking for, and MindModel will fill the list with noun types that match your entry.
For example, if you enter "org" (without the quotes) in the entry area, MindModel will fill the list with two items: "organization" and "organization type".
To refill the list will all noun types, erase the word "org", leaving the Find entry area blank.
Exporting Noun Types
The "Export" button at the bottom of the window allows you to save the contents of the noun types list as a text file.
You may find this text file useful for documenting your models.
Printing Noun Types
If you open the Help with Noun Types Window, then choose "Print" from the File Menu, MindModel will print the list of noun types.
