Abstract
A system for managing printing device related objects on a network, comprising a GUI, by first selecting a topic of interest from a category of interests; then selecting a predefined object locator, which filters objects based on associated criteria. The system enables graceful scaling, wherein the number of topics of interest in the first GUI pane and the complexity of the displayed information in the second GUI pane stay roughly constant even when the number of devices and objects in an organization increases significantly. The methods also include Static, Dynamic, Permanent, and Temporary object locators; hierarchically displayed topics and object groupings displayed in an integrated manner; defining new topics, topic actions, and object locators; and selecting an action for property and printing device related object, then displaying a topic of interest associated with the selected action.
