Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for flattening a subset of configuration UI panels in a hierarchy of UI panels. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for flattening a subset of configuration UI panels in a hierarchy of UI panels has been provided. The method includes executing a query against an index of artifacts for which configuration parameter values are receivable in a corresponding panel disposed within a hierarchy of panels of an application. The method additionally includes receiving a result set of artifacts from the index for the query and identifying panels in the hierarchy corresponding to artifacts in the result set. Finally, the method includes displaying a single window in the application with an arrangement of the identified panels. Of note, the method also can include receiving configuration parameter values for the artifacts of the result set through the identified panels in the single window and applying the received configuration parameter values for the artifacts of the result set.
