Hi John,
Thank you for your feedback on the FILTER panel.
If you wish to make FILTER more visible to your users, you could set FILTER to the default command parameter for CTRANLOG. This would route you directly to CTRANLOG FILTER when the CTRANLOG command is issued.
To try this in your profile:
1. Issue PROFILE CTRANLOG
2. Select "Miscellaneous"
3. Set "Default parameters" fields to FILTER
4. Issue PROFILE SAVE
PF3 back to the main menu to test it out. If you enter CTRANLOG, you should now be taken directly to the FILTER panel.
If you enter CTRANLOG with parameters, it will instead take you directly to CTRANLOG (not FILTER). For example, CTRANLOG TRAN CEMT.
If you wish to make this change so it affects all users, you could update the DEFAULT profile to do the same thing.
To make this change:
1. Issue PROFILE CHANGE DEFAULT (note you will have to be a SYSVIEW admin)
2. Select "CTRANLOG"
3. Select "Miscellaneous"
4. Set "Default parameters" fields to FILTER
5. Issue PROFILE SAVE
Again, I would have a few users test this out by logging into a fresh SYSVIEW session, issuing CTRANLOG, and ensure they are routed to the FILTER panel. Note this change will only affect users that have not already set a default command parameter for CTRANLOG in their own profile. The default profile never overrides user profiles if they have something already explicitly set for this setting.

Subject: FILTER subcommand in CA-SYSVIEW
So we have been using the FILTER sub-command from its initial deployment an up to our current version V15.
Whilst FILTER is a powerful and useful option its one which we constantly have to highlight to new - and in some cases experienced - users of the product.
What option or thoughts do we have to make the FILTER more visible and amenable to users, e.g. from CTRANLOG ?
Comments, ideas etc all welcome.
