The embodiments then display the master view definition on the graphical user interface and receive a managed object selection and a task selection to apply to the managed object selection. The embodiments then identify a view definition corresponding to the task selection with which to display managed object data related to the managed object selection. The embodiments then display a view corresponding to the at least one view definition on a graphical user interface of the computer system and obtain managed object data related to the managed object selection based upon managed object data references contained in the view definition. The embodiments then display the managed object data related to the managed object selection within the view on the graphical user interface of the computer system.
