You can assign rules to symbols to define when they are output.
Ensure you have set the File Locations preferences before you begin.
Do the following to apply a rule to the symbol that has already been inserted into the template component:
- Select the symbol and double-click it to modify the properties.
The Symbol Properties dialog box opens.
- Click Rule to open the Rule Contents dialog box.
- Inside the conditional statement you can create a rule for the symbol with various data and string operations.
Here is an example of a rule that includes a symbol. The symbol library and the symbol id are separated by a @ character and they must appear in the rule.

- Click the Check button to ensure the syntax of the rule is correct.
- Click OK to save the changes.
- Save the template.
The symbol will be output according to the rules you have applied to it.
