Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 180)

If you decide to create your own filters, you must prepare the filter files as follows:
v The filter must be able to be run from a Win32 command prompt using a single
command and, optionally, a set of parameters.
v The filter must be in a ready-to-run format. It cannot require an installation or
unpacking process.
v The filter must be placed in a dedicated folder on a drive that is accessible by
the ImageUltra Builder console.
When the source files meet these requirements, you can set the attributes for the
new filter module.
Setting the attributes for a new filter module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new
device-driver 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 filter module” on page
167.
1. Open the repository where you want the new filter module to reside.
2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the
new filter module to reside.
3. From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Filter.... The
New Module Wizard opens.
4. Click Next.
5. Verify that the Filter radio button is selected, and then click Next.

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
