Design the window by adding:
1. Background elements (borders, panels, or static text).
2. Navigation buttons (e.g., Home, Next, Previous).Dynamic elements (such as status indicators or alarms).
3. Header and Footer (if needed for consistency).
Group Elements for Reuse
Select all the elements that should be part of the template.
Click Edit → Group to combine them into a single object.
Ensure any dynamic text fields or indicators are linked to tags that can be reassigned when reusing the template.

2. Enter a name for the symbol (e.g., Window_Template).
