Abstract
A user interface enables a user to concurrently select a plurality of network objects of a network object database (e.g., a MIB) from a same network device or different network devices and specify a value, only once, to which to set the selected objects. The user can initiate setting of the selected objects on the one or more devices by specifying only once that the objects on such devices be set to the specified value. The user interface, which may include a GUI, may be configured to enable the user to specify a value for a cell of a first table ('editing table'), in response to which a plurality of cells of a second table ('primary table') are set equal to the specified value. The primary table may represent a view of a network object database, each column of the view representing an object type of the network object database.
