Including additional fields
Almost every VistaPoint view contains more fields than can be displayed on a single screen. Although performance data is collected, the fields displaying this data are not shown in the default views. This section shows how to customize a view to include some fields that are normally excluded.
Display the DSOVER view. If your site does not have BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2, use IMS or CICS instead.
The following figure shows DSOVER with the fields displayed on the default view distributed with VistaPoint:

The following figure shows some of the excluded fields of the DSOVER view. The excluded fields' column headings are colored differently from the fields normally included in the view:

------------------------< Show excluded columns >------------------------------
The view is now displaying all the excluded (or hidden) columns. Excluded
columns are marked with highlighted column letters. You can customize an
excluded column (for instance, place a filter on it). You may also make the
column permanently displayable by using the Include option.
If you select E - Hide excluded, the excluded columns will again be hidden.
