– The alignment of the menu items when viewed in the installation menus. You
can independently define each menu item to be left-justified, right-justified, or
centered.
– Whether or not the menu item should remain in a map if the Delete unused
option is selected in the Image Cleanup tab of the Map Settings window and
the image can be installed without selecting that specific menu item. For
example, if you have a menu item for a utility, but during the installation
process the selection of that menu item is optional, you can place a check
mark in the Show always check box to ensure that the menu item will always
be available if the image is reinstalled from the service partition. If the Show
always
check box is not used, and the image is reinstalled from the service
partition, the only menu items that will be available are the menu items that
were selected during the original installation.
v Submenu Items: This property is available only if there are submenu items
nested under the selected menu item. The Submenu-items property controls the
following:
– The text in the title line of the menu
– The spacing between menu items
– Whether a menu should be displayed if there is only one menu item listed or
if the single menu item should be automatically selected
– Whether or not multiple menu items can be selected
v Utility: This property is available for menu items only; it is not available for the
root entry. You use the Utility property to assign a utility to a menu item.
v Variables: You use the Utility property to assign a variable to a menu item or to
the root entry.
v Conditions: This property is available for menu items only; it is not available for
the root entry. You use the Conditions property to assign one or more filters or
variable conditions to a menu item.
v Exclude: This property enables you to select modules from your base map that
are to be excluded from the installation process if the associated menu item is
selected. For example, you might have all of your application modules defined
at the root level of your base map, and have a Management menu item and a
Non-management menu item. Assume your applications are common for both
management and non-management except for two personnel-related tools that
are for management use only. In the exclude tab for the Non-management menu
item, you can specify that the two personnel-related modules are to be excluded.
Then, during the installation process, if the Management menu item is selected,
all applications get installed. If the Non-management menu item is selected, all
applications get installed except for the two personnel-related applications
defined in the Exclude tab.
To define base-map properties, do the following:
1. Open the repository where the map resides.
2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where the base map
resides.
3. In the right pane of the Repository window, click the Base Maps tab. A list of
base maps is displayed.
4. Double-click the appropriate base map. The Base Map window opens with the
root entry highlighted.
5. Expand the map tree.
6. Select the root entry or a menu item.
