SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERACTIVE FILTERING OF CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT DATABASE (CMDB) DATA

Abstract:

A method of operating a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a configuration management database (CMDB) includes: presenting a data set from the CMDB on a table of the GUI, wherein the table includes a column for each field of the data set and a row for each record of the data set; receiving a selection input of a particular field of a particular row or a particular column heading of a particular column from the table of the GUI; receiving a drag interaction input and a drop interaction input indicative of the particular field or the particular column heading being dragged and dropped to a filter section of the GUI; filtering, in response to the drop interaction input, the data set to generate a filtered data set based on a value of the particular field or the particular column heading; and presenting the filtered data set on the table.
