From

the

General

tab,

you

can

view

the

or

change

the

description

of

the

root

entry

or

any

menu-item

entry.

When

you

change

root

entry

description,

the

driver-map

entry

in

the

repository

also

changes

everywhere

where

that

driver

map

is

referenced.

v

From

the

Conditions

tab,

you

associate

filters

with

the

menu-item

entry.

The

use

of

filters

is

optional,

but

helpful

in

determining

which

modules

are

appropriate

for

certain

target

computers.

v

From

the

Exclude

tab,

you

can

select

modules

from

your

driver

map

that

are

to

be

excluded

from

the

installation

process

if

that

menu

item

is

selected.

This

window

contains

the

following

tab

to

use

when

defining

general

and

specific

properties

for

menu

links.

v

General

Module

windows

When

you

double-click

a

module

entry

in

the

repository,

a

module

window

opens

for

the

selected

module.

Within

the

module

window,

you

can

view

or

define

certain

attributes,

such

as

the

language,

location

of

the

source

files,

associated

filters,

and

module-installation

behavior.

You

also

can

include

free-form

text

comments

about

the

module,

up

to

1024

characters.

The

attributes

that

you

can

view

or

modify

vary

depending

on

the

type

of

module

you

select.

The

five

types

of

module

windows

are

as

follows:

v

Operating

System

window

v

Application

window

v

Device

Driver

window

v

Filter

window

v

Utility

window

The

attributes

define

key

information

about

an

associated

module

that

affect

content,

behavior,

and

installation.

The

attributes

must

be

filled

in

completely

before

you

build

a

module.

If

a

module

is

imported

from

a

source

computer,

all

required

attributes

are

already

filled

in.

However,

it

is

a

good

idea

to

open

the

associated

module

window

and

review

the

attribute

values

to

ensure

that

they

are

suitable

for

your

specific

implementation.

When

you

build

a

module

from

scratch,

you

use

the

New

Module

Wizard

to

create

the

entry

in

the

repository

and

fill

in

the

attributes.

You

must

complete

the

associated

attributes

before

you

can

build

the

module.

Modifying

module

attributes

and

map

settings

By

default,

when

you

import

or

create

a

map

or

module,

it

is

placed

in

the

repository

in

the

test

state.

As

long

as

a

module

is

in

the

test

state,

you

can

modify

its

attributes

and

source

files

and

rebuild

the

module

as

many

times

as

is

needed.

As

long

as

a

map

is

in

the

test

state,

you

can

modify

its

tree

structure

and

settings.

Once

a

map

or

module

has

been

promoted

to

the

gold

state,

it

is

locked

and

you

can

no

longer

make

changes

to

it.
