Introduction to Performance Monitor › Windowing › Editing Windows

Editing Windows

You can change the size, content, and order of the display for a monitor screen. These changes are temporary (for the current window display only). If the system administrator has given you authority, you can save changes made to monitor screens for use during subsequent sessions. You save the changes using the EDIT command.

Changing a Screen's Format

To change the format of a monitor screen displayed in a window:

• Type edit following the CMD--> prompt, and press [Enter] (for the current window). Use the WINDOW command to specify a noncurrent window or to specify multiple windows for editing.

  or

• Type e in the window command field of the window to be edited, and press [Enter]. You can select multiple windows in this manner.

Edit Window Format Screens

There are two Edit Window Format screens:

• The first screen allows you to change general information about the screen. For example, you can change the size of the window.
• The second screen allows you to change information for each field on the screen. For example, you can specify the column order.
