To extend or change a derived Object Wizard's functionality, you can link a symbol from the Graphics Toolbox with the Object Wizard. Once you have linked the symbol, you can associate it with the Object Wizard.
To link a symbol or other item from the Graphic Toolbox to an Object Wizard:
-
In the Symbols pane, select the Link Symbol button (1) to link a symbol from the Graphic Toolbox to the object.
-
The Galaxy Browser opens. Select a symbol or Symbol Wizard from the Graphic Toolbox and select OK.
-
The symbol is added to the object. The icon (2) next to the symbol name indicates the symbol is linked to the object.
-
Highlight a Choice or Option in the Choices and Options pane (3).
-
Drag the symbol from the Symbols pane to the Associations pane (4).
-
If the symbol is a Symbol Wizard, modify the settings (5) as needed for the Choice or Option with which it is associated.
-
Turn visibility of the Symbol Wizard settings (6) on or off, as needed. If the settings are visible, users can override your configuration settings.
-
In the Details pane (7), edit the default name of the symbol as needed. You can also add a description (optional).

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 values of a Symbol Wizard; the overrides affect only the Choice or Option for which they are entered.
