Displaying screen definitions

This section shows how to display your screen definitions after they have been saved. Use the PARTWKLD screen definition you created in the previous exercise.

1. Enter reset to clear the screen.

2. Type SCREENS on the COMMAND line.
   The SCREENS view shown in the following figure lists all screen definitions that are in your personal screen definition library as well as the site-wide screen definition library.

    PARTWKLD Parts order workloads          USR1

   The views with a value of Unknown in the Description and Userid fields are default screen definitions supplied by BMC products. You may want to display some of these screens later.

3. Select your PARTWKLD view by entering S in the C field to the left of the name.
   The following figure shows the PARTWKLD custom screen that you created in the previous section.

   Tip

   You can also view your custom screen definitions with the SCReen command. Instead of displaying the SCREENS view and selecting the view from the menu, enter the command SCReen screen_name on any COMMAND line.

   Notice that the views reflect the current time, not the time you created the screen definition. When you saved PARTWKLD, you did not create a static view with fixed data. You created a permanent screen definition with specific views and a context that displays refreshable data.

Selecting screen definitions

You can select a screen definition in the following ways:

• SCREENS view: Select a listed screen definition from the SCREENS menu.
• SCReen command: Invoke the screen directly with the SCReen command in the form SCR screen_name.
