Chapter 7. Creating maps

This chapter provides basic information about creating base maps and driver maps
as well as how to define the settings associated with each. For additional
information, refer to the ImageUltra Builder help system.

Creating and modifying base maps

Base maps control which operating systems, applications, and utilities are
deployed as part of a Smart Image. The tree structure of a base map varies
depending on the type of image or images contained in the map and the needs of
your organization. You must create a map module before you can construct the
map tree structure. For detailed information about constructing the map tree
structure, see Chapter 6, “Map construction overview,” on page 77.

Creating a new base map

base map as a template. To create a new base map, complete the following

map. Be as specific as possible. This name will be used to identify your base
map in the repository.
