First we want to thank you for your interest in
InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder, our freeware program for creating huge
and complex Mind Maps with millions of interconnected items. We have
made it free for private use, so that as many people as possible can benefit
from it.
Here you can
download the latest version
of InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder. It is
free
for
private use. System requirements are Windows XP and
Internet Explorer 8 or newer. The InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder
consists of a single executable file and requires no installation
program.
The program is also available as a pure
viewer without editing functionality. The viewer is made for companies where
a group of people may only view, but not edit the diagrams. If you're
interested in the
viewer, then you can
download it here.
The special thing about InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder is that the size
of the Mind Maps is not limited and that they don't get confusing even if they get larger.
The following online examples show you how this works.
While
pure Mind Map programs are often limited to hierarchical trees,
InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder can connect any item with any other. The
program contains an archive for documents, images and web pages
that can be imported and attached to any item or relation. As a Windows
application, InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder runs locally on your
PC. It stores all data in a database on your hard disk. It doesn't
make any Internet connection, so that your data will be secure, that's
what we stand for.
And this is how it looks like:
How-to's
How do I insert a new item into the
database?
Either by pressing the Insert key on your keyboard or by clicking
on one of the two buttons
in the
toolbar of the item list.
How do I insert a new relation between
two items?
Select the starting item as root item by pressing this button
in the item list. Drag the ending
item from the item list into the relation list. You can also
connect two items directly in the diagram by dragging one item
onto another item. A third way is to drag one item from the item
list onto an item in the diagram. And the fourth way is by
selecting the ending item in the item list and pressing the
button
in the toolbar of the
relation list.
How do I import documents and images
into the archive?
The easiest way is to select them in the Windows Explorer and
to copy them into the clipboard. Switch back to InfoRapid
KnowledgeBase Builder and select Paste from the Edit menu.
Importing takes some time, the status bar shows the progress.
Importing can be canceled by pressing the Escape Button. The
second way is to press this button
in the toolbar of the archive
list and to use the import dialog.
How do I import web pages into the
archive?
The easiest way is by copying the url into the clipboard and
pasting it into the archive. The second way is by using the web
import dialog by pressing this button
in the toolbar of the archive
list. You can also import complete web sites with the command
"Generate Sitemap" from the Tools menu.
How do I attach documents and images
to items and relations?
Just drag them from the archive list to the item or relation you
want it to be attached to. They can be dragged to items in the item
list, relations in the relation list and items in the diagram.
Many documents and images can be attached to a single item or
relation.
How do I use templates for items and
relations?
Select an item or relation and press this button
in the toolbar of the properties
pane. Enter a "Template Name". Now this template can be selected
in other items or relations in order to use the same formattings
and names.
I want to use the program commercially
or in a multiuser environment. Can I purchase a license?
Yes. Additionally to the
free Private Edition,
which is forbidden to use for non
private purposes, there is a
Professional Edition for
99 Euro, which enables many users to
work simultaneously on the same
database. And there is an
Enterprise Edition which contains a
runtime license for embedding our
diagram control into your
company's web site. This version can
be used on all PCs in your company. Please
request a quotation if you're interested in the Enterprise
Edition.
I would like to make one request
- in order to keep the Private Edition free, please check if you
can use the Professional or Enterprise Edition in your company.
Otherwise, I can't develop the
program any further.
