# Integrating Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tools must be added to the IFS tool list to be able to run. In the tool list ( https://github.com/ian-james/IFS/blob/master/ifs/tools/toolList.json ), you'll find a number of required properties for setting up your tool to display in the IFS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For simple integration, ie basic input types and form data, integration will be relatively straight forward. If you have complex or unimplemented preferences integration may require additional work.

## JSON Tool Item
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|

}],

|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Special Form Data
|
|
|
|
Please review basicParse function in https://github.com/ian-james/IFS/blob/master/ifs/app/components/Tool/buildTool.js if you require additional more intensive form data for your tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## New Views
|
|
|
|
If your tools requires an alternative view, ie is a new visualization or is not intended to be integrated into existing views. You will have to manage the route information passing formation between the feedback filter system and the end route. Please review how the feedback route receives data to integrate your new view. |
