The Directory List view displays servers, data sets, and members that you add in a tree-style directory. Add frequently used resources to this view so that you can easily access them and perform basic data management operations, such as comparing and copying data sets.

Data sets are listed alphabetically, and you can filter the items to find specific data sets or members.

Enter a text string in the Filter field to find specific items in the Directory List view. The Directory List view then displays only data sets and members that contain your search string.
