摘要

An exemplary method includes a computing system providing a user interface to a user, populating a listing accessible via the user interface with a set of graphical icons that represent a set of computing objects that are associated with a customer of a service provider and hosted by the service provider, detecting a selection by the user via the user interface of one or more graphical icons from the set of graphical icons populated within the listing, and providing a graphical representation of one or more relationships between the customer and one or more of the computing objects represented by the one or more selected graphical icons for presentation to the user via the user interface. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.

1. A method comprising:
providing, by a computing system, a user interface to a user; populating, by the computing system, a listing accessible via the user interface with a set of graphical icons that represent a set of computing objects that are associated with a customer of a service provider and hosted by the service provider; detecting, by the computing system, a selection by the user via the user interface of one or more graphical icons from the set of graphical icons populated within the listing; and providing, by the computing system in response to the detecting of the selection, a graphical representation of one or more relationships between the customer and one or more of the computing objects represented by the one or more selected graphical icons for presentation to the user via the user interface, the graphical representation comprising:
a graphical icon representative of the customer;the one or more selected graphical icons representative of the one or more computing objects that are associated with the customer and hosted by the service provider;one or more edges that graphically represent the one or more relationships between the customer and the one or more computing objects; andone or more labels that are presented in connection with the one or more edges and graphically specify at least one type of relationship between the customer and the one or more computing objects.
