    2. Select the product reference containing action rules.
    A description node referencing the selected product reference adds under the chapter.

    3. Enter the name as ResourceIdentifier.
    4. Select the type as String, enter the value, and click Add Keyword .
      The resource identifier values for rule chapters are as follows. This chapter creates under a dedicated chapter. Refer to Predefined Resource Identifiers for Catalog for more information.
      Name Resource Identifier Value
      Attachment Line Naming MfgRsc_Ch_AttachmentLineRule
      Reference Line Naming MfgRsc_Ch_ReferenceLineRule
      Margin Unit Naming MfgRsc_Ch_MarginUnitRule
      Opening MfgRsc_Ch_ProfileRule
      Profile MfgRsc_Ch_ProfileRule
      Weld MfgRsc_Ch_WeldRule
    5. Similarly, assign a resource identifier to the description node of each chapter.

      You can assign the identifier of your choice. For example, for opening rules, you can assign OpeningRule.1, OpeningRule.2, and so on. In this case, OpeningRule.1 and OpeningRule.2 are the action rules present under the linked product reference.
