Assigning Graphic Configuration Rules

In a designer workflow, you can specify rules for a graphic's defined Choices and Options. Choice Groups should not be included in graphic configuration rules.

These rules determine the graphic elements, custom properties, and scripts that belong to a graphic configuration. For more information about rule syntax, see Defining Graphic Configuration Rules.

To define graphic configuration rules

1. Show the selected graphic in the Industrial Graphic Editor with the Symbol Wizard enabled.

2. Select a Choice from the Options view.

   The Properties view updates to show Option Properties fields. The Name field shows the name of the Choice you selected from the Options view. The Rule field is blank.

3. If necessary, enter a rule for the Choice.

   Important: Not all Choices require rules. Specify only those rules necessary to create graphic configurations. Choices without rules are always visible.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 to specify rules for the remaining Choices of the graphic.

5. Select an Option from the Options view.

   The Name field of the Option Properties view updates to show the name of the Option you selected from the Options view.

6. Enter a rule for the Option that defines the conditions to show or hide the Choice Groups and Choices in a configuration.

7. Enter True or False in the Default Value field to set the Option as part of the graphic’s default configuration or not.

8. In the Description field, enter a description of the Option.

   The description appears when the Consumer embeds the graphic and clicks on the option to configure it.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 to specify rules and optional default values for the remaining Options of the graphic.
