Use substitution rule functionality to make minor adjustments to templates without having to rebuild them. For example, you might require that certain departments perform deal accounting on deals by dealers by specifying criteria for each dealer's user ID. The substitution rule that addresses this need is assigned to the applicable accounting template lines here. In this example, the substitution rule ID applied is DEAL_OPERID_TO_DEPT, which was defined on the Substitution Rule Definition page.
