Dynamically excluding modules from a map

One benefit of creating a custom base or driver map is to control which modules

are deployed as part of a Smart Image. Typically, both base maps and driver maps

are designed to accommodate a variety of users within your organization. It is

possible to create a more “streamlined” base or driver map by setting the

properties of a menu item so that certain modules are excluded from the

installation process. The ability to exclude specific modules from a menu item

during the installation process enables you to create more flexible maps that are

deigned to accommodate a variety of users.

To exclude modules from a menu item that is used in either a base map or driver

map do the following:

1. Open the Repository window for the repository where the map resides.

2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where the map

resides.

3. In the right pane of the Repository window, click either base map or driver

map, depending on the map that contains the menu item and modules you

want to exclude. A list of maps is displayed.

4. Double-click the appropriate map. The map window opens for the selected

map.

5. Highlight the menu item that contains modules you want to exclude during the

installation process.

6. Using the toolbar, Click View; then click Properties. The Menu Item Properties

window opens.

7. Click the Exclude tab.

8. Click the Operating System, Application, or Device Driver icon, depending on

the type of module you want to exclude from the menu item. The Exclude

window opens, displaying a list of the appropriate modules that exist in the

repository.

Note: Even though all modules of a specific type appear in the Exclude

window, you only want to select modules that are currently contained in

the menu item. For example, if you want to exclude a specific

application from a base map menu item, you are given a choice of all

application modules that exist in your repository when the Exclude

window opens. However, you only want to select the desired application

module that is specified in the menu item. Typically, not all application

modules listed in the repository are also listed in the menu item.

9. Click the module, or modules, that you want to exclude from the menu item;

then, click OK.

Creating and modifying driver maps

Driver maps control which device drivers and hardware-specific applications are

deployed as part of a Smart Image. Driver maps can be simple (specific to one

machine type) or complex (designed for many machine types), depending on the

needs of your organization.

There are three approaches to creating a driver map:
