Customizing and saving perspectives
You can customize and save one or more perspectives to display your CICS® system resources in different ways, so that the perspective is relevant to the functions you perform.
About this task
You can create a layout of views and editors in the workbench and save this layout as a new perspective. You save only the layout of the views and editors in the workbench. To save the configuration of a view, see Customizing and sharing resource views with the CICS View Configuration page.
For example, for a system administrator role, you might want a perspective that displays only a subset of CICS Administration views. For an operations role, you might want a perspective that displays only CICS Operations views.
Procedure
- Open, close, or move views and editors to create the layout that you want.
- On the main menu for the workbench, click .
-
In the Save Perspective As dialog, type a name for the new perspective, for example
Admin, and click OK.
You can create and save multiple perspectives.
Results
The new perspective is saved and becomes the active perspective.
A button that shows the name of the new perspective is displayed in
the shortcut bar next to buttons for other perspectives.
