Ways to Utilize a YAG Customization Tool

Users have a few different options for creating YAG Customization Tools (YCTs) or utilizing existing YCTs, particularly depending on a user's account permissions. The explanation below outlines the various use case scenarios and includes hyperlinks to the applicable areas of the site and related support guides. 

Please note that a YCT is an extension of a YAG; therefore, they share the same template for creating or editing one.
