Hierarchical navigation with related objects

A data processing system configured to navigate information, the data processing system comprising:

• a storage device comprising a navigation application;
• an accessible memory comprising instructions of the navigation application;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions of the navigation application to:
• identify a value for a property of a first object associated with one or more devices managed by a management system;
• group a plurality of objects into first groups and include a first plurality of tiles for a plurality of objects in a display according to the first groups, at least one of the displayed first groups of the first tiles including more than one of the displayed first tiles, the plurality of objects including the first object, a first tile in the first plurality of tiles being for the first object, the first tile including a display of a graphic associated with the first object and the identified value for the property;
• identify a plurality of related objects that are related to the first object and include a second plurality of tiles for the related objects in a display in response to receiving a selection of the first tile for the first object, wherein to include the second plurality of tiles for the related objects in the display, the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of the navigation application to group the related objects into second groups based on object type and include the second plurality of tiles for the related objects in the display according to the second groups, each of the second groups including a number of the second tiles and at least one of the displayed second groups of the second tiles including more than one of the displayed second tiles;
• include, in response to receiving a selection of a second tile, in the second plurality of tiles, for one of the related objects, information about the one related object in a display;
• include, in response to receiving a predefined user input during display of the second plurality of tiles for the related objects according to the second groups, third tiles for the second groups of the second tiles in a display, each of the displayed third tiles representing a respective one of the second groups of the second tiles and including display of a numeral for the number of the second tiles in the respective group, the predefined user input being a different input than selection of a tile;
• and
• include, in response to receiving a selection of one of the third tiles for one of the second groups, the second tiles for the related objects that are in the one second group of the selected third tile in a display.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more data processing systems to:

• identify a value for a property of a first object associated with one or more devices managed by a management system;
• group a plurality of objects into first groups and include a first plurality of tiles for a plurality of objects in a display according to the first groups, at least one of the displayed first groups of the first tiles including more than one of the displayed first tiles, the plurality of objects including the first object, a first tile in the first plurality of tiles being for the first object, the first tile including a display of a graphic associated with the first object and the identified value for the property;
• identify a plurality of related objects that are related to the first object and include a second plurality of tiles for the related objects in a display in response to receiving a selection of the first tile for the first object, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more data processing systems to include the second plurality of tiles for the related objects in the display comprise instructions that, when executed, cause one or more data processing systems to group the related objects into second groups based on object type and include the second plurality of tiles for the related objects in the display according to the second groups, each of the second groups of the second tiles including a number of the second tiles and at least one of the displayed second groups of the second tiles including more than one of the displayed second tiles;
• include, in response to receiving a selection of a second tile, in the second plurality of tiles, for one of the related objects, information about the one related object in a display;
• include, in response to receiving a predefined user input during display of the second plurality of tiles for the related objects according to the second groups, third tiles for the second groups of the second tiles in a display, each of the displayed third tiles representing a respective one of the second groups of the second tiles and including display of a numeral for the number of the second tiles in the respective group, the predefined user input being a different input than selection of a tile;
• and
• include, in response to receiving a selection of one of the third tiles for one of the second groups, the second tiles for the related objects that are in the one second group of the selected third tile in a display.
