Custom Tool not showing in the tool palette

Hi

 

I tried to package custom tool for my first time based on Python SDK tools. The yxi package can be installed successfully, but it is not showing in the right category SDK Examples. I figured the config.xml file in the root folder a lot of times, but did not make it. Can anyone help check the reason? Anything I missed in config.xml?

When creating custom tools, the location of the tool will be at the macro level, and then the overall installer if nothing is specified for the underlying workflow. If you look at the inner config xml file, the category is listed as Laboratory, and this is where it is being installed.

 

You can update this line to go into the correct location. I updated it and attached to this post. Hope this helps!

Thanks @echuong1 

 

I did not check the inner xml file. Now I keep category name same in both xml files, and it does work even if I put it in the SDK Exmaples category.
