About the tools menu

This section describes some of the standard tools available in Workbench. These tools provide views that are designed to facilitate specific tasks – from managing credentials to monitoring alarms. All of the tools described are available from the Tools menu. However, navigational links to some tool also appear in the Nav side bar and in the Nav Container View.

When you select one of these tools, Workbench adds it to the My Tools node in the Nav tree. Upon opening Workbench, no My Tools node appears in the Nav tree. It appears as soon as you click Tools and select a tool. It persists for the current session. When you close Workbench, My Tools disappears.
