Simple

and

complex

base

maps

When

you

develop

your

base

maps,

you

can

develop

simple

maps

that

contain

a

small

number

of

modules,

have

limited

choices,

and

pertain

to

one

group;

or,

you

can

develop

complex

maps

that

contain

many

modules,

a

larger

number

of

choices,

and

apply

to

many

groups.

A

simple

map

is

constructed

to

meet

the

needs

of

one

specific

group

of

users,

who

have

similar

requirements.

For

example,

you

can

construct

a

simple

map

designed

specifically

for

an

accounting

department

that

consists

of

one

main

menu

item

called

“Windows

XP

with

accounting

software”

and

all

of

the

required

operating

system

and

application

modules

inserted

under

it.

The

following

illustration

shows

the

tree

structure

associated

with

a

simple

map

constructed

solely

for

an

accounting

department.

A

complex

map

is

constructed

to

meet

the

needs

of

several

groups

of

users,

each

of

which

have

unique

requirements.

For

example,

you

can

construct

a

complex

map

that

contains

menu

items

for

languages,

operating

systems,

and

department

names.

The

following

illustration

is

a

conceptual

view

of

a

base-map

tree

structure

associated

with

a

complex

map

constructed

for

several

departments,

in

several

languages.

This

illustration

provides

an

overall

view

of

how

modules

can

be

organized

in

a

complex

base

map,

if

you

were

able

to

view

the

map

in

its

entirety.
