This is actually a cross post from here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Run-VI-from-Teststand-customize-tool-menu/td-p/3702375

 

Here are the steps:

  1. Create a blank sequence file
  2. Delete MainSequence
  3. Add a sequence named Foo (or a more appropriate name)
  4. Add a call to your VI in the sequence named Foo
  5. Save the sequence file
  6. Go to Tools>>Customize
  7. Click the Add button
  8. Choose Sequence under Item Type:
  9. Browse to your saved sequence file for Sequence File:
  10. Select Foo (or appropriately named sequence) for Sequence:
  11. Click OK
  12. Back in the Customize Tools Menu for Item Text Expression: choose an appropriate name (must be in string format)
  13. For Enable Expression: either put True or CurrentUserHasPrivilege("*")
  14. Uncheck Edits Selected File

 

Let me know if you need more info.
