Creating new rule groups

When using the Element Rule Manager to organize the rules for your elements, it is easier to create groups based on elements. For example, if you have three text elements for the computer name, date, and time, you could create three rule groups named Computer Name, Date, and Time. Rule groups are empty when you initially create them. After the group is created, you can add vertical alignment and horizontal alignment rules for each.
