Resource Visualization view

Use the Resource Visualization view to display a visual representation of programs and transactions as groups.

The Resource Visualization view displays resources as containers that you can expand to show the child resources. It provides an alternative to the Show Resources view, where resources in a region are displayed in a list.

To open the Resource Visualization view, right-click one of the following resources, then click Visualization:

Each container in the Resource Visualization view has a title with a resource name, an icon that represents the resource, and the number of child resources. By default, the resources are grouped by regions, and then by applications. For example, in the following example screen, region IYDZZ428 has six applications, six transactions, and 13 programs.
