-'''Tool sets''' tab is used to create and manage tool collections. Tool set is selected with drop down selector. '''New''' and '''Delete''' buttons beside selector are used to create and delete tool sets. However, user can not delete Wandora's default tool sets. Wandora's default tool sets are extractors, importers, extractors, generators, and generic tools. Default sets have a special function in Wandora. They have a well defined place in Wandora's user interface.

Tool set can contain groups. You may think groups similar to file folders. A group is added to a set by clicking '''Add group''' button. Tools always have a well defined order in the set.

 Right clicking a tool in set reveals a context menu with options to execute tool class and view tool info for example (See image below). Executing a tool directly in tool manager requires a special note. As many tools need a context of topics or associations while executing, user should be careful as this context is not explicitly set while executing a tool directly in Tool manager. This suggest only tools that require no context can be successfully executed directly in Tool manager.
