Using the view editor

The CICSPlex® SM Web User Interface view editor is the tool for customizing your menus, views and map objects.

The navigation frame of the Web User Interface display contains a link to the view editor. However, if your Web User Interface server is running with security active, the view editor is restricted to nominated users. You will not see the link to the view editor unless you have the required authority.

You should leave the view editor by returning to the CICSPlex SM Web User Interface Editor screen or by signing off.

Note:
  1. If your web browser session times out, because the INACTIVETIMOUT period is reached, any changes not saved before the session being timed out are lost. For information about the INACTIVETIMEOUT Web User Interface server initialization parameter, see Web User Interface server initialization parameters.
  2. This information uses supplied views to provide examples that show how the view editor can be used to edit views. However, you cannot save changes to the supplied views and menus. You must copy the required view set and edit your copy. See Example tasks.
  3. A view set, menu, or map object is locked whenever it is opened for edit. Changes are not committed until the view set or menu is finally saved or the edit is abandoned. While locked other users cannot edit the same view set or menu. Users may continue to use the view set or menu while it is being edited, in which case the original version of the view set or menu will be used until it is opened after the changes have been committed.
