Computer controlled user interactive display system for presenting graphs with interactive icons for accessing related graphs

In a computer managed communication network with user interactive access via a plurality of display terminals and including a plurality of linked network objects, a system for managing said network comprising:

• means for sensing values of a selected parameter, respectively for each of a plurality of selected objects
• means for storing data representing said values,
• means for graphically presenting said stored data on said display including a plurality of graphically related icons, each icon representing aspects of said values with respect to one of said selected objects,
• user interactive means for selecting one of said icons, and
• means responsive to said selecting means for graphically presenting other aspects of said values.

A computer implemented user interactive method for monitoring and displaying at least one parameter of a dynamic process comprising:

• sensing dynamic values of said parameter,
• storing data representing said values,
• graphically presenting said stored data on said display including a plurality of graphically related icons, each representing aspects of said dynamic values,
• user interactively selecting one of said icons, and
• graphically presenting other aspects of said dynamic values in response to said selection.
