Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for customizing a graphical user interface. A rendition module renders a base GUI to provide an operator with tools for managing Data Processing Devices (DPD). A tag module communicates interface tags to the base GUI. The interface tags describe added functionality for managing a specified DPD, wherein the added functionality is not supported by the base GUI and the base GUI is not configured to employ the interface tags. A translation module translates the interface tags into interpreted display code. The rendition module is further configured to render the interpreted display code with previously rendered display code for the base GUI to provide the added functionality for managing the specified DPD. The operator may manage the specified DPD with the added functionality.
