Firstly in the Action List interface, open the Action List by double clicking or selecting edit in the little cog wheel on the right of the interface.
Then go to the second item 'Add copied graphic', and the 'Graphics Panel'. You should see an image of the existing Grommet.

The way you add a new image is by 'grabbing' it from a PDF file. So open a PDF with the new Grommet image you want.
Then in the PDF select that image/object. You should then see the 'Grab Selection' in the 'Graphics Panel' become available.

Hit 'Grab Selection' and you should see your new image in the Action List.

You then probably need to configure the other options, Attributes, Region, Repeat and Position to make sure your Grommets are correctly placed.

One tip is to make sure the image you grab has the Grommet in the center of the image. That way you can guarantee the position, especially if you want to place it based on the centre of the Grommet.

Any questions just ask.
