The Icon Menu Wizard is used to add newly created symbols that you make to the Icon Menu, so you can click an image to insert the new symbol. This is optional, since you can get to your custom made symbols by click the Browse button at the bottom middle of the Icon Menu interface and simply select the file.
Specific symbol library assignments are made at project level for each project. You assign the menu and symbol path separately. When you activate an IEC project, you get an IEC menu and symbols. When you activate a JIC project, you get a JIC menu and symbols.
Assigning the menu and library separately allows for an added bonus. You could use the IEC menu but assign the JIC library folder, to insert JIC symbols instead of IEC This can be helpful if you are not familiar with JIC symbols but must create circuit diagrams to ship to America. However, JIC is old, so I would suggest using the NFPA library instead, in that situation. But bear in mind that there are more symbol types in the IEC standard than exist in the JIC or NFPA standard, due in part to the number of specific modifiers used with IEC symbols, thus there might not always be an exact JIC equivalent block.
