Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 121)

device drivers are to be used during the installation process. This approach
requires the use of a filter to determine the machine type. The ImageUltra
Builder program provides a filter, ImageUltra - Model Check, that you can use for
this purpose. (For more information about filters provided with the ImageUltra
Builder program, refer to the ImageUltra Builder help system.)
If you create a complex driver map based on an existing map, you can simply
make the changes to the tree structure required to support the additional
machine type, assign a filter for each new or changed menu item, and define the
filter parameters in the Menu Item Properties window for each new or changed
menu item. If you create a new complex driver map from scratch, you are
responsible for:
– Inserting all menu items
– Inserting all device-driver modules
– Defining the filter parameters in Menu Item Properties window for all menu
items
Inserting menu items in a driver map
The use of menu items is required only when you plan to use filters. Unlike base
maps, you cannot nest menu items. All menu items in a driver map are inserted at
the root level. The following illustration shows a driver-map tree structure with
one menu item listed at the root level.

Inserting modules in a driver map
If you are not using menu items in your driver map, device-driver modules are
inserted at the root level. If you are using menu items, device-driver modules are
inserted in the right pane for the appropriate menu items. A filter impacts only
those device-driver modules that are inserted in the right pane of the menu item to
which the filter is assigned.
Device-driver modules are the only type of modules that can be added to a driver
map. Typically, one or more device-driver modules are inserted in the right pane of
each menu item listed in the driver map. The following illustration shows a simple
driver-map tree structure with one menu item and a series of associated
device-driver modules inserted in the right pane for that menu item.
Note: After you create a driver map, you can select the install sequence for the
map modules using the Install Sequence option on the drop-down list.
