Abstract: Content presentation in remote sessions by reducing processing and communication bandwidth requirements for the remote sessions in an information technology environment. Content presentation includes maintaining a session window on an electronic display screen of a remote administration console for remotely monitoring a corresponding server system via a communication link, and monitoring a display status of the session window on the display screen. Based on the display status of the session window, a quantity of refresh information for the session window is selectively transmitted from a management server to the remote administration console over the communication link for display in the session window. The refresh information includes status information for the remotely monitored server system.

Abstract: A computer displays on a user interface a hierarchical view of the data within the tree structure. The tree structure includes a plurality of nodes. The computer receives input via the user interface that at least one node of the plurality of nodes has been selected, wherein the computer sets the at least one node that has been selected as an active node. Responsive to the at least one node that has been selected as an active node, the computer displays on the user interface a selectable display element including one or more navigation elements configured to navigate between sibling nodes, and the computer displays on the user interface data related to the active node.

Abstract: A method according to one embodiment includes outputting several data elements in a raw view in which all of the data elements are selectable by a single action; allowing editing of the data elements in the raw view; outputting the data elements in a formatted view in which the data elements are positioned in individual fields; allowing editing of the data elements in the formatted view; and toggling back and forth between the raw view and the formatted view. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also disclosed.

Abstract: User input is received to cause a search graphical user interface (GUI) element to move within a GUI having areas that each correspond to a content type. The given area over which the search GUI element has been moved is determined. The search GUI element is adapted so that a search performable via the search GUI element is restricted in scope to the content type of the given area. The GUI may be a web page of a web site. The search GUI element may be a search box. The area and/or the search GUI element may be graphically modified to provide visual feedback as to the content type of the given area to which the search is restricted in scope.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for graphically mapping compatible processing updates. The method includes employing a processor for tracking updates for processing instruction packages. The method further includes determining compatibility between each of the processing instruction packages. The method additionally includes linking combinations of compatible processing instruction packages together. The method also includes providing a map of one or more combinations of linked compatible processing instruction packages and tracked updates for the plurality of processing instruction packages to a graphical user interface for facilitating selection of tracked updates for the plurality of processing instruction packages.

Abstract: The invention provides customizable branch navigational area control. Navigational area branches are displayed on a device. Expansion of the navigational area branches is controlled. Selection is accepted for particular navigational area branches. The selected particular navigational area branches are prevented from collapsing upon exceeding a predetermined maximum number limit, by collapsing other navigational area branches to maintain the predetermined maximum number limit. The predetermined maximum number limit represents a limit of navigational area branches allowed to remain in an expanded state.

Abstract: Tabs of a computer program running on a computing device, and tab groups, are organized over hierarchical levels. A lowest hierarchical level corresponds to the tabs, a second lowest hierarchical level corresponds to one or more of the tab groups that each directly encompass one or more of the tabs, and a highest hierarchical level corresponds to one or more of the tab groups that each directly encompass one or more other of the tab groups. Tab headers are displayed in accordance with the hierarchical levels. Each tab header corresponding to one of the tabs or one of the tab groups.

Abstract: In response to receiving a first user action in relation to an object displayed on the rendered display, a collar is displayed on the rendered display around the object. The collar and the object can be made translucent. The collar can have the same shape as the object, but can be larger in size than the object. In response to receiving a second user action in relation to the collar, the object and the collar are moved on the rendered display in correspondence with the second user action, without finalizing a current location of the object on the rendered display after the second user action has been completed. In response to receiving a third user action, the current location of the object is finalized on the rendered display and the collar is removed from around the object on the rendered display.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying a trend in data of heat maps. An initial set of comparison heat maps included in the repository is determined and displayed based on how closely initial comparison area(s) of each comparison heat map match initial target area(s) of a first heat map. A review of the initial set of comparison heat maps determines additional comparison area(s) corresponding to additional target area(s) of the first heat map. In an iterative process, an additional set of comparison heat maps is determined and displayed based on how closely initial and additional comparison areas match respective initial and additional target areas of the first heat map. A trend relating initial and additional target areas is identified based on the displayed additional set of comparison heat maps and based on how closely comparison areas match their respective target areas.
