Patent number: 10120534Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically generating a dynamic user interface of inter-related systems management widgets for an application program. In an embodiment, in response to detecting an event, the application program selects a primary widget from multiple widgets to display on the user interface. In response to such selection of the primary widget, the application program queries a data store that is stores tags associated with widgets, using one or more particular tags that are associated with the primary widget. Based on the querying, the application program determines one or more secondary widgets from the multiple widgets that are associated with at least one of the one or more particular tags of the primary widget. For each particular secondary widget among the one or more secondary widgets, the application program determines correlation data that measures correlation of the particular secondary widget to the primary widget.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jay Johnston, Keying Bi, Subroto Bagh
