Template instructions allow products to be more dynamic, allowing them to perform actions during key events like a checkout. There are three types of template instructions controlled by file types: data frame rules, layout rules, and python scripts.
The Layout Rules properties enable a product map document's layout size and orientation and the relative placement of elements on that layout to react to changes that happen on dynamic cartographic products.
