Add a Symbol to a Derived Template

To extend or change the functionality of a derived template with an Object Wizard, you can add new symbols to existing Choices or Options.

You can create a new symbol for the object, and then associate the symbol with the Object Wizard. You can also link symbols from the Graphics Toolbox to the object. See Link to Shared Content in the Graphic Toolbox for additional information.

See the Application Server User Guide, "Creating and Working with Content," for additional information about symbols.

To add a new symbol for association with the Object Wizard:

1. Select the Add Symbol button to add a new symbol to the object.

   Highlight a Choice or Option in the Choices and Options pane.

2. Drag and drop the symbol from the Symbols pane to the Associations pane.

3. If the symbol contains a Symbol Wizard or custom properties, modify the settings as needed for the Choice or Option with which it is associated.

   

4. Add additional symbols and associate them with the Object Wizard, or associate the symbol with other Choices or Options.

5. If applicable, configure Symbol Wizard and custom property values for each symbol association in the Settings pane.

   Note: A Choice or Option does not have to have a symbol associated with it. A symbol can be associated with more than one Choice or Option. You can override the default Symbol Wizard and custom property values; the overrides affect only the Choice or Option for which they are entered.
