Abstract
Systems management navigation and focus collection is described. In one implementation computing-based managed items which are part of a systems management environment are navigated to locate one or more computing-based managed items. In another implementation, the computing-based managed items are indexed, and then searched to locate one or more of the computing-based managed items from among the computing-based managed items which have been indexed. The searching can be based on one or more search requests. Each of the one or more computing-based managed items located by the navigating and/or the searching is identified by a respective unique identifier, and selected ones of the unique identifiers can be collected in a focus collection where they are at least temporarily maintained for a user.
