A perspective is a layout of one or more
views in the workbench. The first time CICS Explorer™ is started, the
Welcome view is displayed. Click the Go to Explorer icon to minimize the Welcome view and display the default CICS® SM perspective. You can restore
the Welcome view at any time by clicking the Restore Workplace icon
, or by clicking Help > Welcome from the
Menu bar.
The default CICS SM perspective
contains a basic set of views to help you get started. The active
perspective name is displayed on a button in the shortcut bar .
The default CICS SM perspective is shown below.
You can tailor the perspective by adding new views, removing existing views, moving views around or changing the size of views. When you close CICS Explorer, any changes you made to the perspective are saved, and next time CICS Explorer starts, your tailored perspective is displayed.
You can restore the perspective to the last saved configuration at any time by clicking Window > Reset Perspective from the main workbench menu bar. You can reset the supplied perspectives to their default configuration using the Reset action in the Preferences Perspective page.
