Abstract
A processing device displays icons in a first region of a display screen. The icons represent managed resources associated with a storage system. The processing device receives a selection from a user of a resource identified on the display screen. Based on the selection, the processing device identifies whether resources related to the selected at one resource exceed a threshold value. In response to identifying that the resources related to the selected resource exceed a threshold value, the processing device displays filter criteria in a second region of the display screen to limit which of many resources related to the selected resource will be displayed on a display screen for viewing. Thus, the filter criteria enables input of filter parameters by the user to limit a subsequent display of resources related to the initially selected resource.
