Before you start:

Create a user-defined node project.
To create the visual representation of your user-defined node in the workbench, complete the following tasks:
  1. Creating the user-defined node plug-in files
  2. Defining the node properties
  3. Optional: Adding help to the node
  4. Optional: Creating node icons

When you have created the node's representation, you cannot move it to another folder.
