• On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Save Perspective As.
2. Click the Name field and type a new name for the perspective, or click a perspective from the Existing
Perspectives list to automatically display in the Name field.
3. Click OK to add the name of the new perspective to the Window > Open Perspective > Other menu.
Resetting Perspectives
To reset your current perspective back to its default, associated views with the original count, and
positioning and layout, perform the following steps:
1. Select a method to open the Reset Perspective dialog box, thus prompting you to accept the reset
function:
• On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Reset Perspective.
• On the Active System Manager Perspective toolbar, select a perspective and click Reset.
A prompt displays asking to reset the selected perspective to its default.
2. Click OK.
The reset takes effect the next time the perspective is opened.
Note You can also reset the perspective by modifying the perspective preferences: On the Active System
Manager menu bar, click Window > Preferences > General > Perspectives to display the
