Dynamic user interface update generation
View Patent ↗A managing information handling system may dynamically update a user interface and transmit the updated user interface to a client information handling system. The user interface may be dynamically updated when an update to a user interface configuration is detected by the managing information handling system. The dynamically updated user interface may include dependency functionality so that when a master policy indicator is adjusted multiple policies that depend from the master policy are updated.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a managing information handling system, a notification of a change in a master policy indicator, from a client information handling system,
detecting, by the managing information handling system, one or more dependent policies that depend from a master policy indicated by the master policy indicator,
updating a value for each of the one or more dependent policies and a value for the master policy based, at least in part, on the change in the master policy indicator; and
transmitting, to one or more managed information handling systems different from the managing information handling system, the updated values for each of the one or more dependent policies and the updated value for the master policy.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the master policy indicator is displayed on a user interface, and wherein indicators for the one or more dependent policies are hidden and not displayed on the user interface.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the master policy indicator is a master security policy indicator, and wherein the one or more dependent policies are dependent security policies.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more dependent security policies comprise at least one of: a file protection policy, an encryption policy, a cloud backup policy, or a port control policy.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the change in the master policy indicator comprises toggling of a master policy switch on a user interface.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the master policy indicator and indicators for the one or more dependent policies are displayed on a user interface, and wherein the indicators for the one or more dependent policies comprise at least one of check boxes or switches.
7. A managing information handling system comprising:
a processor configured to perform steps comprising:
receiving a notification of a change in a master policy indicator, from a client information handling system,
detecting one or more dependent policies that depend from a master policy indicated by the master policy indicator,
updating a value for each of the one or more dependent policies and a value for the master policy based, at least in part, on the change in the master policy indicator; and
transmitting, to one or more managed information handling systems different from the managing information handling system, the updated values for each of the one or more dependent policies and the updated value for the master policy.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the master policy indicator is displayed on a user interface, and wherein indicators for the one or more dependent policies are hidden and not displayed on the user interface.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the master policy indicator is a master security policy indicator, and wherein the one or more dependent policies are dependent security policies.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more dependent security policies comprise at least one of: a file protection policy, an encryption policy, a cloud backup policy, or a port control policy.
11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the change in the master policy indicator comprises toggling of a master policy switch on a user interface.
12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the master policy indicator and indicators for the one or more dependent policies are displayed on a user interface, and wherein the indicators for the one or more dependent policies comprise at least one of check boxes or switches.
13. A system, comprising:
a managing information handling system;
a client information handling system; and
one or more managed information handling systems,
wherein the managing information handling system comprising a processor configured to perform steps comprising:
receiving a notification of a change in a master policy indicator, from the client information handling system,
detecting one or more dependent policies that depend from a master policy indicated by the master policy indicator,
updating a value for each of the one or more dependent policies and a value for the master policy based, at least in part, on the change in the master policy indicator; and
transmitting, to the one or more managed information handling systems different from the managing information handling system, the updated values for each of the one or more dependent policies and the updated value for the master policy.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the master policy indicator is displayed on a user interface of the client information handling system, and wherein indicators for the one or more dependent policies are hidden and not displayed on the user interface.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the master policy indicator is a master security policy indicator, and wherein the one or more dependent policies are dependent security policies.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more dependent security policies comprise at least one of: a file protection policy, an encryption policy, a cloud backup policy, or a port control policy.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the change in the master policy indicator comprises toggling of a master policy switch on a user interface.
18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the master policy indicator and indicators for the one or more dependent policies are displayed on a user interface of the client information handling system, and wherein the indicators for the one or more dependent policies comprise at least one of check boxes or switches.
