Working with base-map settings and menu-item properties
During the installation process on a target computer, the person performing the installation typically makes
selections from a set of menus to specify the image that is to be installed. The overall appearance of
these menus and the overall behavior of the map are controlled through the base-map settings. The
individual menu items and the filters and modules associated with each menu item are controlled through
the base-map properties. Detailed information about working with the base-map settings and menu-item
properties can be found in Chapter 6 “Map construction overview” on page 69.
The following procedures describe how to specify new settings and properties or modify existing settings
and properties. To use these procedures, you must have already created your base map and set up your
map tree structure.
Specifying base-map settings
Base-map settings control the overall appearance of the menu system and the overall behavior of the
installation. To specify or change a base-map setting, do the following:
1. Open the repository where the map resides.
2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where the base map resides.
3. In the right pane of the Repository window, click the Base Maps tab. A list of base maps is displayed.
4. Double-click the appropriate base map. The Base Map window opens.
5. In the Main window menu bar, click Tools and then click Settings.... The Map Settings window opens.
• In the General tab, you can do the following:
– If you want to add comments to the map, you can do so by typing free-form text in the Comments
field. The Word Wrap check box enables you to automatically wrap text within the confines of the
Comments field or establish your own line length and use a horizontal scroll bar.
– If you want to add keywords to your map, you can do so by typing one or more keywords in the
Keywords to Associate with this Map field. You can use any characters in a keyword except for the
vertical bar (|) and the ampersand (&). Separate keywords with a space.
Note: Keywords enable the developer to create Deployment Media that limits the selection of
maps to only those that have one or more matching keywords. The ImageUltra Builder program
automatically assigns some keywords to maps based on the certain map settings and the build
status. You can manually assign other keywords to maps through the Map Settings window. For
more information about predefined keywords and how keywords are used, refer to the ImageUltra
Builder help system.
• To predefine user information with default values or prompt the installer for user information near the
beginning of the installation process, do the following in the User Information tab:
