Saving a view's settings to its configuration

The Save settings to View Configuration option in the view menu saves the changes that you made to a view back to the view's configuration.

About this task

You can change the filter, column, and sort settings within a view, for example to diagnose a particular problem with your CICS resources. When you complete your changes, you can reset back to the settings stored in the view's configuration.

To make permanent the changes within a view so that you can reset to them in the future, see Resetting a view to its configuration, use the Save Settings to View Configuration option to update your view configuration with the current settings.

  • View configuration columns are replaced with active columns.
  • View configuration sorts are replaced with active sorts.
  • Quick filters are added to view configuration filters and removed from the quick filter bar.
When completed an information message is displayed in the error log saying {view name}view settings are saved to configuration.

  2. Click the Save Settings to View Configuration button Save settings to view configuration in the toolbar view of menu options of the view.
