Setting the attributes for a new application module

The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new application
module without using an existing module as a template. If you want to set the
attributes for a new module to match the attributes of an existing module, see
“Setting the attributes based on an existing application module” on page 155.

To set the attributes for the new module, do the following:

1.

Open the repository where you want the new application module to reside.

2.

If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the
new application module to reside.

3.

From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Application....
The New Module Wizard opens.

4.

Click Next.

5.

Verify that the Applications radio button is selected, and then click Next.

6.

In the Name field, type a name that you want to use to identify this module.
Be as specific as possible. This name will be the name that appears in the
repository.

7.

Click the No radio button to indicate that this module is not a container.

8.

Click Next.

9.

Click Next without selecting any of the modules listed.

10.

Click Finish. The New Module Wizard closes and the Application window for
the new module opens.

a.

In the Version field, type the full version of the application.

b.

If you want to assign a password to this module, type an encryption key

A password helps prevent the module from being unpacked by any
process other than an ImageUltra Builder process. When you assign
an encryption key, the ImageUltra Builder program assigns a
password to the module. Encryption keys can be up to 64 characters
long using any combination of alpha-numeric characters. Symbols
are not supported.

c.

In the Comments field, type any comments you want kept with the
module.
