An icon panel defines what is displayed on the graphical monitor. You arrange icons on the panel and attach resource groups to the icons.
You can define your own icon panel or select one of the pre-defined panels provided with your product.
When you create an icon panel, you create an icon panel definition and the icon panel description file. An operator uses the panel to customize the graphical monitor. You can generate an icon panel (that is, the description file) only if all the icons on the corresponding icon panel definition have attached resource groups. Use the Icon Panel Generator to define and generate the icon panel.
Important! Icon panels defined on a 3270 model 4 or equivalent terminal cannot be used on model 3 and model 2 terminals; icon panels defined on a model 3 terminal cannot be used on model 2 terminals.
