When using Approach A to assign a utility to a menu item, you do the following:
1. In the left pane of the Base Map window, select the menu item to which you want to add the utility.
2. In the Main window menu bar, click View, and then click Properties. The Menu Item Properties
window opens.
3. Click the Utility tab.
4. In the Name field, use the drop-down menu to select a utility module from the repository.
5. In the Parameters field, type any parameters required to run the utility.
6. In the Run field, select when the utility is to run:
– Immediately: The utility is run immediately when the menu item is selected at the target computer.
This is the default setting.
– Queue: The utility is queued to run after the final selection is made from the final menu in the
sequence. All utilities that are queued are run before any files get installed.
7. Click the Save icon located in the Main window toolbar.
• Approach B: Create menu items specifically for each utility and assign a utility to each menu item. This
approach creates a custom utility menu from which the person performing the installation can manually
select the utility needed. The utility must run at the time the menu item is selected; therefore, when you
develop your map, you must ensure that the menu-item properties for each utility entry in the custom
utility menu is set to the Immediately setting. If you set the menu-item properties to the Queue setting,
an error will occur and the installation process will be terminated. Additionally, a custom utility menu
requires a unique structure using links to return to the base menu or to the utility menu after a utility has
been run. There are six steps required to develop this unique structure:
1. Create a menu item specifically for the custom utility menu.
2. Create subordinate menu items for each utility
3. Associate a utility with each menu item in the custom utility menu.
4. Create links under each utility menu item. Each link provides a path after the utility runs that would
not otherwise exist. This link usually returns the user to custom utility menu.
5. For each utility menu item, click View then Properties to open the Menu Item Properties window,
click the Submenu tab, and place a check mark in the Automatically select single item check box.
