USER INTERFACE FOR DATABASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
A database system associated with a plurality of source databases in a virtual computing system includes a dashboard having a main menu for providing a plurality of control functions and a body that dynamically changes based upon the plurality of control functions that are selected. The dashboard includes a homepage for displaying a plurality of cells in the body, including a first cell for displaying a list of the plurality of source databases. The main menu includes a first control function, the selection of which triggers a database provisioning service by presenting options to either create a new source database or register an existing database within the body and a second control function, the selection of which triggers a copy data management service by presenting an option to create a new cloned database.
