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

  1. Open the Tool Configuration Editor, if it is not already open.
  2. Right-click to open the shortcut menu.
  3. Select either New Tool or New Tool Group. The Tool Properties dialog box automatically opens so that you can begin configuring the new tool.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Click Apply to apply your changes without closing the properties dialog box.
  7. 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.
  8. Click Apply to apply your changes without closing the dialog box.
  9. 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

  1. If you want to delete a tool, select it in the Configure Tools dialog box list.
  2. Right-click to open the shortcut menu and select Delete or press the Delete key. A message prompts you to confirm the delete operation.
