Creating a Radial Map

With Radial Maps in Ayoa, brainstorming ideas and achieving your goals is simpler than ever. Present your ideas in a visual pie-chart, and easily see your priorities by adjusting the sizes of the segments in your map to signify their importance.  

Creating a New Radial Map

1. To create a new Radial Map, navigate to the main home page and choose 'Create new' then choose 'Mind map'.

2. Choose the Radial style by clicking on 'Create blank radial map'.

3.  Name your map name and choose a blue 'Create mind map' button.

4.  At the center of the canvas will be your central 'segment'. By default, the title will be the name of the map. You can change this by double-clicking on the text and typing your new central idea.

5. To add your first segment either click the green + icon, or use  'tab' on your keyboard.

6. To add a segment on the same level, either click the green + on the parent segment ( the inner segment before it), or use "enter" on the keyboard.

7. As you create more layers of segments, the segments on the outermost ring will be slimmer. As more segments are added to the same level, the segments will be reduced in width.
