How can I build an Altium Designer rule that applies to only one component or reference designatorrefdes?

I tried selecting my component, S1, from the Query Helper, but that just puts the string 'S1' into the query. What else belongs there?

Altium rules named component

    Can you try with `InComponent('S1')`? At the moment I cannot check any of my previous rules, but I am sure that I have used the `InComponent('U1')` syntax to create some component specific rule. – Bence Kaulics Jun 17 '16 at 06:22

It's InComponent(), i.e.:

InComponent ('J2') OR InComponent('J3') OR InComponent ('J4') OR InComponent ('J5')

Likewise, if you end up making a ComponentClass, it's InComponentClass():

InComponentClass('WaivedClearance')

Remember that if you do a positional re-annotation or something similar at the end that changes reference designators, your rules and component classes won't update automatically.
