A network system 1 transmits data between a management apparatus 2 and managed devices 3 each connected to a communication network, processes the data, and displays resources of the managed devices 3 in association with users and/or organizations of the managed devices 3, thereby to support system management operations. That is, in the network system 1, the management apparatus 2 displays an organizational map in a tree form that shows employee numbers of users who belong to each subordinate organization (division/section) that makes use of the system in association with an identifier of such a subordinate organization, displays users who belong to a designated subordinate organization in association with the users' managed devices 3, displays resources of a designated managed device 3, and causes the designated managed device 3 to execute a process using its resources.
In a network computer system including a plurality of devices associated with one or more users and user groups in a hierarchy of user groups, a system resource display apparatus for displaying resources of each of said managed devices for at least one of said users and user groups, comprising:
In a network computer system including a plurality of managed devices, associated with one or more users and user groups in a hierarchy of user groups, and a system resource display apparatus for displaying resources of each of said managed devices, wherein said managed devices and said system resource display apparatus communicate with each other via a network, each of said managed devices having a unique resource data item and a certain keyword data item assigned thereto, and each of said managed devices being responsive to a retrieval operation via said network for returning said assigned resource data item and keyword data item, said system resource display apparatus comprising:
In a network computer system including a plurality of managed devices associated with one or more of users and user groups in a hierarchy of user groups, a system resource display method for displaying resources of each of said managed devices for at least one of said users or users groups, comprising the steps of:
In a computer network system resource display apparatus in a system including a plurality of managed devices associated with one or more users or user groups in a hierarchy of user groups, a system resource display method for displaying resources of each of said managed devices, wherein said managed devices and said system resource display apparatus communicate with each other via a network, each of said managed devices having a unique resource data item and a certain keyword data item assigned thereto, and each of said managed devices being responsive to a retrieval operation via said network for returning said assigned resource data item and keyword data item, comprising the steps of:
A machine readable storage medium for storing software adapted for use in system resource display apparatus in a computer network system including a plurality of managed devices associated with one or more users or user groups in a hierarchy of user groups for displaying resources of each of said managed devices, said software being executable by a computer for causing said system resource display apparatus to carry out machine-effected steps of:
A machine readable storage medium for storing software adapted for use in a system resource display apparatus in a computer network system including a plurality of managed devices for displaying resources of each of said managed devices associated with one or more users or user groups in a hierarchy of user groups, wherein said managed devices and said system resource display apparatus communicate with each other via a network, each of said managed devices having a unique resource data item and a certain keyword data item assigned thereto, and each of said managed devices being responsive to a retrieval operation via said network for returning said assigned resource data item and keyword data item, said software being executable by a computer for causing said system resource display apparatus to carry out machine-effected steps of:
