Abstract
A resource dependency system dynamically determines and generates for display a minimized and collapsed resource dependency toolbar using two or more indicators to display a summarized view of dependency relationships to one or more selected items. For example, the system can analyze a resource dependency graph and determine root items, or items that do not depend on other items but are depended on by a selected item. The system can also determine leaf items, which no other items depend on. The system can also determine intermediary items that depend on root items and/or leaf items. Then, based on preconfigured instructions, the system can group the root, leaf, and intermediary items into two or more indicators and display the indicators on a graphical user interface conveying information about the selected item and how it is related to other items.
