How to add Less Popular Tool to Favorites?

[eduardosolomon]

Hello,

I'd like to add some tools to my favorites bar which I have to search for. The more popular tools seem to have the "favorite" option in the top right corner, but some don't. Is there a way to add any tool to the favorites bar?

I want to add the Make Column tool to my favorites!

Thanks,

Eduardo

Hi @TimN ,

@IraWatt helped show me that I have to hunt down the tool in the categories first. Then I can add it from the tool category bar to the favorites.

@eduardosolomon no worries! I only found where the make column tool was using the Alteryx docs 😄, also make sure to give a green tick if you've found a solution

@IraWatt Thank you this is really helpful.

Do you happen to know how to add custom tools to existing categories?

@eduardosolomon if its a Maco based custom tool just set the category in the Meta info here:

Then save it in your macro folder which you can set in your user settings:
