Generic / Unknown Tool
Designer tool icons represent the tool's specific task or macro. When Designer cannot find a macro referenced in a workflow, Designer displays the Unknown tool along with an error message to let you know. This gives you an opportunity to reconfigure (right-click and choose Insert > Macro to browse to the macro), which restores the intended tool.
The Generic tool, which also displays the question-mark icon, is used to access a dynamic-link library (DLL) or plugin.
This tool is not visible on the tool palette.
To replace the tool:
- Select the Generic/Unknown tool to view its configuration.
- Use this information to add the appropriate Designer tool to the workflow, and configure accordingly.
- Delete the Generic/Unknown tool from the workflow.
