Each perspective contains one or more views. A view is a visual component in the workbench, and provides a way to navigate the information in your workbench. Views displaying similar information are grouped together into tab groups. Each tab group is contained within a pane in the workbench window.
In the example perspective below, eleven views are displayed, arranged in four tab groups.
Tab group1 contains the tree views CICSplex Explorer and CICSplex Repositories.
Tab group2 contains the tabular views Regions, Tasks, ISC/MRO Connections, Terminals, Files, and Transactions.
Tab group 3 contains the tabular views Properties and Events.
Tab group 4 contains the dynamic Help view.
Each view has a title which is displayed in a tab at the top of the view. Where multiple views are present in a view set, they are stacked one behind the other. To activate a view, click its tab to bring the view to the front of the stack. The tab is highlighted indicating the active view.
All views, with the exception of the CICSplex Explorer view, can be removed from view, or moved to a different tab group, and each tab group can be sized or repositioned in the workbench. The CICSplex Explorer view is a special view that you cannot close or move.
You can restore the tab group arrangement (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.
