From Gallery to Tool Palette

Surely a newbie question.  I want to add the TS Model Factory and  TS Forecast Factory to my tool bar. Have downloaded workflow packages from the Gallery and opened them in Designer as workflows, but can't seem to figure out how to then transform into the associated icons with simplified inputs, etc.

Hello @tomtveidt ,

 

You would follow these steps:

You must have a macro folder and specify it to Alteryx in user settings. Any macroyou downloa, add it to that folder and automatically will appear on its toolbar.

Thanks  for the quick response Gabriel. If I select the path where existing Designer Macros reside by default (C:\Program Files\Alteryx\R-4.0.5\plugin\Macros\Predictive Tools) I get the error of "Nested Macro locations not supported".  Should I create a new, separate directory just for the Gallery downloads?

That's right.

Make sure you create a folder for example C:\Macros\ and the add it in your user settings.

Those will be custom macros. Do not select the path of the current macros.

That's was it! Was over thinking. Thank you.
