Finding a View by Changing the List View Display

The Display function on the List Horizon View window lets you temporarily control what data is listed for each view. The List Horizon View window displays a set of default columns that display for each view. (For example, Horizon can display a description of each view, the table each view is built on, the title of the window that a view creates, and so forth. You can then sort the list by one of the displayed fields and quickly locate the view that you need.)

Since each view refers to a unique window, displaying the window title associated with each view is a useful method for finding the one that you need.

To find a view by changing the list view display

1 Open the mq_view (Horizon View Definitions) view in the Table Editor.

Horizon opens the List Search window with a list of the indexes or fields that you can narrow the list by.

Horizon now shows each view’s corresponding window title in the List View window, as well as the other columns you selected.
