Adding

a

hidden

system

menu

in

a

base

map

A

hidden

system

menu

provide

a

method

to

make

menu

items

available

outside

of

the

normal

flow

of

the

installation

menus.

For

example,

you

might

want

to

make

several

utilities

available

through

a

hidden

system

menu

to

help

solve

diagnostic

or

recovery

issues

on

the

target

computer.

Instead

of

including

the

menu

as

part

of

the

normal

flow,

by

using

a

hidden

system

menu

the

utilities

would

be

available

anytime

while

the

installation

menus

are

active

by

typing

a

system

menu

keyword,

and

the

utilities

would

be

accessible

only

persons

authorized

to

perform

the

advanced

functions

associated

with

the

utilities.

You

are

limited

to

one

hidden

system

menu

per

base

map.

To

set

a

the

menu

item

controls

the

menu

that

click

Set

as

System

Menu

.

3.

Click

the

Save

icon

located

in

Main

window

toolbar.

You

assign

a

system

menu

keyword

at

a

map

level.

To

assign

a

system

menu

keyword,

do

the

following:

1.

Open

your

base

map.

2.

In

the

Main

window

menu

bar,

click

Tools

then

click

Settings...

.

The

Map

Settings

window

opens.

3.

Click

the

General

tab.

4.

In

the

System

Menu

Keyword

field,

the

keyword

you

want

to

assign

to

hidden

system

menu.

Menu
