- Right-click the Create a substitution rule, and then click .
- Right-click the Find data source for substitution rule, and then click . If the reference exists, select Find a reference instead of Create a reference. A Create a reference or Find a reference rule is inserted as a child of the Find data source for substitution rule. To use the value of the substitution extracted by the parent rule, type %subname% for the Regular expression, where subname is the name of the substitution that is created by the parent rule.
