Modifying module attributes and map settings
By default, when you import or create a map or module, it is placed in the
repository in the test state. As long as a module is in the test state, you can modify
its attributes and source files and rebuild the module as many times as is needed.
As long as a map is in the test state, you can modify its tree structure and settings.
Once a map or module has been promoted to the gold state, it is locked and you
can no longer make changes to it.
It is imperative that you test Smart Images while the maps and modules are in the
test state. Once you are comfortable that all of the maps and modules are working
correctly, promote them to the gold state to ensure that they are not accidentally
modified or overwritten in the future.
You can determine whether a map or module is in the test state or gold state by
using either of the following methods:
Method 1: Icon identification
To determine whether a module is in the test state or gold state using the icon
identification method, do the following:
1.
Open the appropriate Repository window.
2. In the left pane, navigate to the folder that contains the desired map or module
entry and open that folder.
3. In the right pane, locate the desired map or module.
v If the icon for the module is any color other than gold, the module is in the
test state.
v If the icon for the module is gold in color, the module is in the gold state.
Method 2: Properties identification
This method is useful if you have difficulty distinguishing colors. To determine
whether a module is in the test state or golden state using the
properties-identification method, do the following:
1.
Open the appropriate Repository window.
2. In the left pane, navigate to the folder that contains the desired map or module
entry and open that folder.
3. In the right pane, right-click the appropriate map or module and then select
Properties. If the Gold checkbox located near the bottom of the tab is marked,
the map or module is in the gold state. If the Gold checkbox is not marked, the
map or module is in the test state.
