The definition views
The CICS Explorer® definition views display details of the CICS® and CICSPlex® SM resource definitions. You can perform actions against the resources, including creating new resource definitions and updating existing definitions by using the CICS Explorer resource editor. In a CICS TS Version 4 or later system, you can also view groups, lists, and their contents in an individual CICS CSD file.
You add definition views to the workbench by selecting them from the Definitions menu in the main menu for the workbench. The available menu options depend on the current perspective. The following example screen shows some menu options for the CICS SM perspective.

You can customize the resource definition details that are displayed in the definition views. For details, see Working with views.
When CICS Explorer is connected to a CICSPlex SM WUI, the definition views show the resource definitions in the CICSPlex SM data repository, except for the front-end programming interface (FEPI) resources. To perform actions against a resource definition, right-click the definition, then select an action from the resulting menu. Available actions include New, Open, Install, Add to Group, and Delete. The resource view is automatically updated to show the change.
Field-level help is available by selecting an attribute and pressing F1 (Ctrl+F1 in Linux).
