Customizing

module

behavior

within

a

base

map

You

can

alter

the

behavior

of

a

common

module

on

a

map-by-map

basis

through

a

new

Customization

setting.

This

Customization

setting

enables

you

to

enter

values

for

an

instance

of

a

module

in

a

map

that

are

used

by

a

script

that

you

include

as

part

of

your

module.

During

installation,

the

information

in

the

Customization

field

is

decompressed

and

stored

in

the

C:\IUWORK\module_name.DAT

file.

When

the

script

runs,

it

picks

up

the

data

from

the

C:\IUWORK\module_name.DAT

file

and

uses

it

to

perform

a

specific

function.

The

information

you

provide

for

the

Customization

setting

is

free-form

text.

You

can

enter

a

.BAT

file,

an

.INI

file,

or

just

a

list

of

values

depending

on

what

your

script

needs.

For

example,

you

can:

v

Make

minor

changes

to

a

module

without

rebuilding

it

v

Make

customized

settings

for

an

application,

such

as

predefining

a

schedule

and

type

of

scan

for

an

antivirus

program.

You

are

limited

only

by

your

understanding

of

the

application

and

your

ability

to

create

a

script

file

for

the

application.

To

use

the

Customization

setting,

do

the

following:

1.

Open

your

map

and

expand

the

map

tree

structure.

2.

Locate

and

highlight

the

module

for

which

you

want

to

customize

the

behavior.

3.

In

the

Main

window

menu

bar,

click

View

and

then

click

Properties

.

The

Properties

window

opens

for

the

selected

module.

4.

Click

the

Customization

tab.

5.

Type

the

information

in

the

space

provided

and

make

a

note

of

the

.DAT

file

name.

You

will

need

this

file

name

when

you

create

your

script.

6.

Click

the

Save

icon

located

in

the

Main

window

toolbar.
