### Show Attributes

Right-click and use the pop-up menu against a program to list the available actions that can be performed. For every resource, including a CICS region, `Show Attributes` opens a viewer listing all attributes and their values. The attributes page has a filter box at the top that lets you search for attributes matching the criteria.

### Enable and Disable

Right-click against a program, local transaction or local file to open up the pop-up menu and click `Disable [CICS resource]` to disable the resource. When a resource is already disabled the first option becomes `Enable [CICS resource]` to allow its enablement state to be toggled. A disabled resource is identified by a `(Disabled)` text next to its name.
