Cooperative views reference

Cooperative views interact and are updated when an action takes place in a source view.

Some views can be cooperative; that is, a view is updated based on an action in another view. The views become cooperative by establishing a wire (connection) from the source view to the target view. WebSphere® Business Monitor dashboard views are cooperative when an action performed in one view updates one or more other views. Each set of cooperative views must exist on the same dashboard.
