A graphical user interface for managing hierarchical systems is provided. A graphical user interface that includes a navigation bar having a domain element and a plurality of object elements is presented. The object elements are associated with different object types in a hierarchical system and are arranged based, at least in part, on the hierarchical system. A first menu that includes a list of objects of a first object type is presented in response to detecting an interaction with a first object element. Information presented on a second object element is filtered in response to a selection of a specific object via the first menu. A second menu that includes a list of all objects that are associated with the plurality of object elements is presented in response to detecting an interaction with the domain element while continuing to filter the information presented on the second object element.
