Customise Sub-Themes

The steps below describe what needs to be done in IMSMANG. The sub-theme needs also to be defined in the imsma.mxd and the map should be imported again. These steps are described in How to work with Sub-Themes in IMSMA.mxd.

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 single-select IMSMA^NG system fields or Custom-Defined Fields for that theme.

Steps

As an example, Victim by Gender theme will be used. To add sub-themes:

1. From the Customisation menu, select Sub-Themes Manager.
2. The Customise Sub-Themes window displays. Each theme contains five blank rows for adding a sub-theme. These are labelled UserDefined1, UserDefined2, UserDefined3, UserDefined4, and UserDefined5.

3. Select the row of the sub-theme that you want to assign or reassign.
4. Click the button.
5. The Custom Sub-Theme Picker window displays.

7. Click the Save button.

9. The sub-theme is automatically added to the IMSMA Themes tab of the Map Display Window.

   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.

   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.

10. You have now done the definition steps in IMSMA^NG.
11. You now should proceed with the definition steps in ArcGIS.
