Create a new tool or tool group
You can create a new tool or tool group, rather than select from
the list of existing tools. Perhaps the tool you want to add is not
included in the
Tools list and so is not available for
selection. In that case, you can add a new tool or group of tools
manually.
To add a new tool or tool group
- Open the Tool Configuration Editor, if it is not already open.
- Select the
Tools folder in the console tree.
- Click
on the
Configuration toolbar to open the Tool Configuration editor
and display the Configure Tools dialog box or right-click to
open the Console menu and select Configure Tools.
- Right-click to open the shortcut menu.
- Select either New Tool or New Tool Group. The
Tool Properties dialog box automatically opens so that you
can begin configuring the new tool.
- Configure the new tool or tool group as necessary using the
tabs in the Tool Properties or Tool Group Properties
dialog box. An asterisk (*) indicates required information. You may
see a message prompting you to supply required information.
- Click Cancel to close the properties dialog box without
saving your changes. If you choose Cancel, your new tool or
tool group will not be created.
- Click Apply to apply your changes without closing the
properties dialog box.
- Click OK to confirm your changes, close this dialog box,
and return to the Configure Tools dialog box. Your new tool
or tool group appears in the list of tools.
- Click Apply to apply your changes without closing the
dialog box.
- Click OK to confirm your changes and close the
Configure Tools dialog box. The new tool or folder appears
in the list of tools in the console tree.
To delete a tool
- If you want to delete a tool, select it in the Configure
Tools dialog box list.
- Right-click to open the shortcut menu and select Delete
or press the Delete key. A message prompts you to confirm
the delete operation.
