zOSPT - "One Button" display of public variables (CP&M)

We would like an easier, "one button", solution for end users to be able to view the variables for their recently spun up CICS region in zOSPT. Currently, the end user would have to utilize the "zospt inspect" command (Don't want end users to have to log onto green screen again for this info), Network Configuration Assistant (Don't want end users to access this), or sort and pick and choose the needed variables from the "Variables" list within the GUI (multiple filters needed to find all info). For an end user trying to find this information in the zOSPT GUI it's a bit cumbersome. A "one button" option to display all of these relevant "public" variables in one place on the GUI would be beneficial to end users looking to utilize CICS regions.
