Example 1: You have a set of applications that are unique to a mobile computer
and you want to use a filter to facilitate the installation of these applications
only if the target computer is a mobile computer.
There are several ways to achieve these results depending on the current tree
structure in your map. For the purpose of this example, you would create a menu
with a single menu item at the end of a branch using the following procedure:
1.
Create a menu item at the end of one of your branches and name it “Install
mobile applications.”
2.
Insert all of your mobile-unique applications in the right pane associated with
the “Install mobile applications” menu item.
3.
Highlight the “Install mobile applications” menu item.
4.
In the Main window menu bar, click View, and then click Properties. The
Menu Item Properties window opens.
5.
Click the Conditions tab and then click the Insert Filter icon. The Add Filter
window opens.
6.
In the left pane of the Add Filter window, click the root entry.
7.
In the right pane of the Add Filter window, double-click the Hardware
Platform Check
filter. (This filter determines if the target computer is a mobile
or desktop computer). The Add Filter window closes and the filter is added to
the Conditions tab.
8.
Double-click the filter you just added. The Edit Parameters window opens.
9.
In the Parameters field, type in the “isMobile” parameter, and then click OK.
10.
Click the Save icon in the Main window toolbar.
11.
Close the Menu Item Properties window.
When this map is used, the “Install mobile applications” menu item will appear at
the target computer only if the target computer is a mobile computer.
Because “Install mobile applications” is the only item in the menu, you can hide
the menu and have the mobile-unique applications install automatically by doing
the following:
1.
Highlight the menu item one level above “Install mobile applications”
2.
In the Main window menu bar, click View and then click Properties. The Menu
Item Properties window opens.
3.
Click the Submenu Items tab.
4.
Click the Automatically select single item check box so a check mark is visible.
Note:
In the example used throughout this chapter, you would perform steps 1
through 4 for the English and French menu items.
5.
In the Main window toolbar, click the Save icon.
6.
Close the Menu Items Properties window.
The following shows a base map using the Example 1 approach.
