AddMarkup tool in I Want To Menu

I am using the GVH 2.12.1.  How do I create an Add Markup tool in the I Want to Menu?  It looks like there are a few possibilities. If I create a tool and give it the Command AddMarkup it wants a command parameter of type esri.geometry.Geometry in JSON format.  What should this JSON be for a freehand polyline?

 

Another option is to use the SetActiveTool, but what is the correct parameter for the create polyline markup tool?

 

Neither of these are properly documented.  If I look in https://docs.geocortex.com/essentials/gvh/latest/commands-help/#/commands/Markup I don't see any examples of JSON to use for the parameter.

  I've found my answer in the Desktop.json.js file for the viewer.

   

  Command:SetActiveTool

   

  Parameter: FreehandMarkupTool

   

  My problem finding things in the Commands documentation was that I was using the menu on the side.  If instead I type in the search box making some guesses at what I think the commands should be then I am able to find the right commands.

   

  I took this further and created a workflow that executed several RunExternalCommand activities, as follows.

   

  ToggleToolbar True

   

  SetCurrentTab ToolsTab

   

  SetActiveTool FreehandMarkupTool
