Specifying menu-item properties in a driver map

Each menu item in a driver map, including the root entry, has a unique set of
properties associated with it. The menu-item properties control the following:

v

General:

This property controls the text of the menu item or root entry. If you

change the text of the root entry, you change the name of the map in the
repository.

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 to a
menu item.

v

Exclude:

This property is available for menu items only; it is not available for

the root entry. You can use Exclude property to exclude specific device drivers in
your map from being installed.

Click the Conditions tab if you want to associate one or more filters with the
selected menu item, then do the following:

Note:

Typically, filters are associated with menu items only when the modules
listed under the menu item are tied to a certain machine condition. For
example, if you are creating a driver-map tree structure that contains
device drivers for multiple machine types, you can use a filter to
determine the machine type of the target computer and install only those
device-driver modules that apply to a specific machine type. When a
filter is associated with a menu item in a driver map, the filter is
automatically run during the installation process at the target computer.
