Editing an existing scheme

We can edit any schemes that we have created previously and we can also edit the schemes that are supplied with IBM MQ Explorer, for example, the Standard for Queues scheme.


We can edit a scheme that is currently applied to the table that you are viewing, or edit another scheme. After modifying the layout of the status table, we can reset the width of the columns to their default values.


Results

The changes to the scheme are automatically applied to any tables that are using that scheme.
