Creating a take action view

Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal enables you to interact directly with your applications and operating system through its take action feature. You can use the take action view to enter a system command or to stop or start a process at the system.

1. Open the workspace where you want the view
2. If you want the view to occupy a new pane, click Split Vertically or Split Horizontally in one of the views.
   The pane divides and a duplicate is created. If you split the Navigator, the new view is empty.
3. Click Take Action.
   The mouse pointer changes to the view icon (hand icon on Linux). If you get the wrong icon or decide not to add the view, press Escape or click somewhere in the toolbar.
4. Click inside the view where you want the take action view.
   After you click, the old view is replaced by the take action view.

What to do next

If you want to keep the take action view in this workspace for future work sessions, either click Save to update the workspace properties with the new view, or click File > Save Workspace As to save this as a new workspace and leave the original unchanged.
