Collapse the z/OS SYSPLEX level data in the TEPS Physical View to the next level in the tree, as is done for each LPAR's data

In the Physical View currently, z/OS Systems data is displayed as follows:
+ SYSPLEX name
-Coupling Facility Policy Data for Sysplex
-Coup...
-.. 13 rows of Sysplex level data in total
+LPAR1
+LPAR2

Suggestion is to collapse the 13 rows of Sysplex data per plex to the next level in the tree to give:
+ SYSPLEX name
+SYSPLEX-level data (expandable)
+LPAR1
+LPAR2
