Working with views
The CICS Explorer® displays resource information in views. You can decide on the size and position of the views, and what information to show in them. These tasks explain how to work with the views to meet your operational requirements.
- Views overview
Each perspective contains one or more views. A view is a visual component in the workbench, and provides a way to navigate the information in your workbench. Views displaying similar information are grouped together into tab groups. Each tab group is contained within a pane in the workbench window. - Moving views and tab groups
You can change the position of all views in the workbench except for the CICSplex Explorer view, which cannot be moved. You can move views in their current tab group, or into a different tab group. - Moving columns in a view
You can change the order of the columns in a view to display the data in a different way. - Adding or removing columns in a view
When you open a view to display a CICS® resource, a subset of the resource attributes is displayed. You can add or remove attributes to display as columns in the view. - Resizing tab groups and views
When you resize a tab group, the views in the tab group are automatically resized as well. - Opening new views
When you open the CICS Explorer for the first time, the default workbench perspective is displayed containing the default view set. You can add other views to the workbench to display additional information about your CICSplex. - Refreshing view contents
You can ensure that the resource data in a view is kept up-to-date by clicking the Refresh icon for an immediate refresh. - The resource filter
When you open a resource view and are presented with many resources, you can filter the list to show resources with similar properties, or to locate a single resource. You can filter on one or more properties at the same time.
