Display jobs and their DDs in table view

The Remote System Explorer tree view displays jobs under the JES filter and when expanded it displays the DDs under each job.

A customer would like a similar display but in table view. 

It is possible to display the jobs or the DDs of a job in the "Remote Monitor" or "Remote System Details" views but the two views are not linked.

If jobs are displayed in the "Remote System Details" view and DDs in the "Remote Monitor" view then the "Remote Monitor" view doesn't get refreshed when selecting another job on the "Remote System Details" view.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We currently have a function that will perform something similar to what you're asking for.

    Under the Remote System Details view, by enabling/disabling the Lock/Unlock button (see images attached), it will allow you to quickly see the DD Name along with other details of a selected job just by clicking on the job name. Is this solution aligned with your idea suggestion?

    Unfortunately, due to existing feedback about too many views in IBM Explorer for z/OS, the team has decided not to pursue this RFE to create a dedicated view for DDs. Once again, thank you for your suggestion.
