Customizing the layout in the Sheet view

To customize the layout in the Sheet view, you can set the number of records to retrieve, change the column layout, sort the data by column, and filter the data.

About this task

Records in the Sheet view, especially summary records and performance list records, can contain many columns of data. For summary records and performance list records, a number of predefined layouts are provided to display the appropriate data for a specific analysis. If you require a different layout, you can customize the layout to display only the data that you require for analysis, then save the layout for future use.

For information about predefined layouts, see Applying a layout in the Sheet view.

The data displayed in the Sheet view is filtered by the selection criteria used in the CICS SMF Records view. For more information, see Refining the data selection. You can filter the data further in the Sheet view and save that filter with a layout.

Procedure

What to do next

After you create your customized layout, you can save it. See Saving a layout or a filter in the Sheet view.
