Customizing views
This step shows how to create your own unique MainView VistaPoint views with the BMC AMI Ops customization facility. As you become more familiar with VistaPoint, you may want to create custom views that are adapted to your site's specific performance concerns. Customizing a view is particularly useful when you have unusual conditions that are not readily apparent by just looking at default views. Setting filters, hyperlinks, and thresholds are just some of the customization options available to you with the BMC AMI Ops customization facility.
The following figure shows simple before-and-after examples of a BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS CSERV view. It is the default view. It is the same view after it has been customized:
