A view is a visual component in the workbench. You can use the views to analyze and explore the collected data about CICS interactions and CICS, Affinity, IMS™, DB2®, and MQ resources. For more information about the CICS IA plug-in views, see Reference information.

You are not restricted to default views. You can add, delete, move, and size views in the workbench.
