Note.jpg The below only describes what needs to be done in IMSMANG. The sub-theme also needs also to be defined in the imsma.mxd and the map imported again. Contact your GICHD IM advisor for step-by-step instructions.

IMSMA Themes window

IMSMA allows you to add up to five customised themes, called sub-themes, to each of the IMSMA themes. Sub-themes can be created based on any IMSMA fields or custom-defined fields (including subobject CDFs) for that theme. For example, you could modify the Activity theme to include a sub-theme for the Booby Trapped field.

To add sub-themes:

  1. From the Customisation menu, select Sub-Themes Manager.
  2. Customise Subtheme1.png

    Customise Sub-Themes window

  3. The Customise Sub-Themes window displays.
  4. Each theme contains five blank rows for adding a sub-theme. These are labelled UserDefined1, UserDefined2, UserDefined3, UserDefined4, and UserDefined5.
  5. Select the row of the sub-theme that you want to assign or reassign.
  6. Click the FieldViewIcon.png button.
  7. Custom Sub-theme picker.png

    Customise Sub-Themes window

  8. The Custom Sub-Theme Picker window displays.
  9. Select a field from the Sub-Theme drop-down list.
  10. Click the Save button.

    Updated IMSMA Themes window

  14. The sub-theme is automatically added to the IMSMA Themes.
  15. Note.jpg Once a sub-theme has been assigned to a blank row, that row cannot be unassigned (made blank) again. It can only be reassigned to another sub-theme.
    Warning.jpg The sub-theme assignments are not stored in the IMSMA database. They are stored in the file C:\IMSMAng\client\conf\UserPrefs.props. The file is included in the Map Data option of backup and restore.
  16. Define the sub-theme in the imsma.mxd.
  17. Re-import the background map.
