The Define Symbol Properties dialog box displays all variables and their names, values, and formulas, which remain internal to the symbol. Symbol parameters are defined on this form; these symbol properties are externalized to the Excel workbook bulkload file. Symbol parameters are externalized as either standard variables for standard symbols or input variables for custom symbols.
