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.

You can create and save multiple perspectives. For example, you might want to set up one perspective that only shows the administration views, and one perspective that only shows the operation views. For further information on using perspectives, see the related links below.
Note: When you save a perspective, you save only the layout of the views and editors in the workbench. If you change the width of a column in a view, that change will be applied to that column in every perspective that contains the view. Any filter attributes you have set are retained when you switch to another perspective or view.
