The view has the following areas:
Chart area
The chart provides a graphical representation of the current and peak active user transactions, over a number of intervals. If enough intervals are available, the chart shows a maximum of 12 intervals: six before and five after the selected interval. Each interval is shown as a separate column in the chart, and shows the time, interval number, current MAXTASK setting, and number of times at MAXTASK. The column for the currently selected interval is shaded. The points on the chart provide an indication of the value, not an actual value. To see the actual values for an interval, hover over a column to display a tooltip that shows actual values.
Data area
The data area shows specific statistical information about the transactions during the selected interval. You can click the columns to change the interval selection.

To display the CICS Monitoring global statistics values for the CICS region, select the CICS Monitoring records check box.

To display the z/OS® Workload Manager (WLM) settings for the CICS region, select the z/OS WLM settings check box.

Four of the values in the data area are color-coded to match the colors of values on the chart. To change the colors, click the Configure chart colors hyperlink, and select Interval traces in the Chart Colors pane in the Preferences window.

If you have an active CICS SM connection to the region, you can click the Open CICS Region Editor for region_name hyperlink to edit CICS resources directly. For more information, see Using resource editors in the CICS Explorer User Guide.
