Note.jpg The steps below describe 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. These steps are described in How to work with Sub-Themes in IMSMA.mxd.
Customise Subtheme0.png

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 IMSMANG system fields or Custom-Defined Fields (including subobject CDFs) for that theme. As example Land by Agriculture blockages will be used.

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.
  11. Customise Subtheme2.png

    Updated Customise Sub-Themes window

  12. The sub-theme displays in the Source column on the Customise Sub-Theme window.
  13. MapDisplaySubtheme.png

    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. You have now done the definition steps in IMSMANG.
  17. You now should proceed with the definition steps in ArcGIS.
