Context menu for view management

To open a context menu of view management commands, select a view, right-click anywhere on the View List pane. This opens the context menu for view management.

This table shows the available options:

Option Description
Control

Opens the view control context menu. In this menu, you can Start, Stop, or Restart the threads that are shown in the view.

You can also select Full to open a dialog box of options.

Metrics

Opens the Engine Monitor dialog box. In this dialog box, you can review performance statistics for the session.

You can also view graphs that show the performance in specific areas over time.

Status

Opens the Status Report dialog box.

Edit View

Opens the Create View dialog box with the specifications for the selected view. Use this dialog box to add or delete threads or other views.

Delete View

Deletes the selected view, after prompting you to confirm your intention.

Filter View

Opens the Thread Filter Settings dialog box. Use this dialog box to control which threads display in the current view.

Viewing criteria are ANDed together. For example, if all thread names are listed, and a single group name is listed, only those threads within that group are shown.

You can define the view limits to a set of specific processes, group names, or specific threads.

The Filter View accepts names that are partial or case-insensitive.

Specify the partial name of an object for which you are looking to find that object.

This search is case-insensitive. For example, if the threads are named phy_beta and phy_kappa, specifying phy locates both names.

Add New View

Opens the Create View dialog box with no view specifications. Use this dialog box to create a new view that contains the selected threads or views.

Import View

Opens a file browser, from which you can select a view to import. The filter settings in the .view file are based on the current NetConfig file during importing.

All threads in the view file and in the current NetConfig file are imported into a new single view configuration.
