Adding a hidden system menu in a base map
A hidden system menu provide a method to make menu items available outside of the normal flow of the
installation menus. For example, you might want to make several utilities available through a hidden system

as part of the normal flow, by using a hidden system menu the utilities would be available anytime while

3. Click the Save icon located in Main window toolbar.
