In the Location field, you can add a location designation for the terminals in question (like +S1 or similar).

 

Please note that a location designation defined in this way, which is reflected in a separate attribute in the terminal symbol, affects the current terminal only. It is not inherited in the way that the Terminal group name is. Therefore, if you insert multiple terminals at once, each one of them will have the location attribute filled-in with the specified location designation, even if you are using inheritance and therefore leave the terminal group name empty. This might be confusing, and you are therefore encouraged to use another solution. There are at least two better ways available:

 

1.Specify the location designation with a boundary box around the terminals instead. For multiple reasons, this is in most cases the best method. It is clear and unambiguous, and you can easily adjust the designation in one single place, namely the boundary box.

 

2.Enter the complete terminal group name including the location designation directly in the Terminal group name attribute. This will ensure a correct and complete inheritance. The disadvantage with this solution is of course that you will have a terminal group name that may look unnecessarily complex. Therefore, the first suggested solution might be the better one.
