Every tool has the general properties of Name, Description, and Type. Some tools also have inputs and out-
puts that can be linked between tools. Each tool input and output has a data type.
To run a tool individually, select it in the tree and click the Run button in the Tool Test button area.
Some tools have a Setup tab which is automatically selected to aid you with configuring the tool when you
first add one of the tool to a task. (See “Setup Tab” on page 3-21.)
If an input or output has a small plus sign to the left of the name, you can view the sub-properties and all the
available data types of those properties. For example, if you click the plus sign of the Success property in the
Origin tool (a Boolean data type) the other data types for that property are displayed.
