A graphical user interface (GUI) provides a plurality of views of a network and its elements in the same viewing engine. A user can switch between the plurality of views in a context-sensitive manner, each view showing relationship or interconnection information. The GUI allows a user to view inter-related objects at the same level, and to view at a lower level sub-objects that make up each of those objects. Different functional views can be provided at the same hierarchical or logical level based on the stored relationship information. A user can navigate between a network level view, a site level view, a shelf level view, and a schematic level view, via element selection or by zooming. A network element data set provides context-sensitive data and images to each level and view for that network element and enables automatic generation of a network topology.
