IMSMA allows you to add up to five subcategories, called sub-themes, to a map theme. Sub-themes can be created based on any default 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.

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
