Method for linking selectable parameters within a graphical user interface
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for linking selectable parameters within a graphical user interface, the method comprising:
- displaying a first selectable parameter and a second selectable parameter within the graphical user interface, wherein the first selectable parameter is selectable within a first range and the second selectable parameter is selectable within a second range;
receiving a selection of the first selectable parameter within the first range; and
responsive to receiving the selection of the first selectable parameter, providing an available range of the second range, wherein the available range is a subset of the second range such that a selection of the second selectable parameter is bounded by the available range, and wherein the available range and the second range are displayed within the graphical user interface, such that the available range is visually indicated within the second range; and
responsive to receiving a selection disabling a linking control that is selectable for linking the selection of the first selectable parameter to the available range of the second selectable parameter, providing selectability of the second range, such that the selection of the second selectable parameter is not bounded by the available range.

Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for linking selectable parameters within a graphical user interface a first selectable parameter and a second selectable parameter are displayed within the graphical user interface, wherein the first selectable parameter is selectable within a first range and the second selectable parameter is selectable within a second range. A selection of the first selectable parameter within the first range is received. Responsive to receiving the selection of the first selectable parameter, an available range of the second range is provided, wherein the available range is a subset of the second range such that a selection of the second selectable parameter is bounded by the available range.

12. In a computer system having a graphical user interface including a display device and a user interface selection device, a method for linking selectable parameters within a graphical user interface, the method comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface comprising; a first selectable parameter selectable within a first range, wherein the first selectable parameter comprises first slider; a second selectable parameter selectable within a second range, wherein the second selectable parameter comprises second slider; and a linking control, wherein the linking control is selectable for linking the selection of the first selectable parameter to an available range of the second selectable parameter; receiving a selection of the first selectable parameter within the first range; responsive to receiving the selection of the first selectable parameter, providing an available range of the second range, wherein the available range is a subset of the second range such that a selection of the second selectable parameter is bounded by the available range, and wherein the available range and the second range are displayed within the graphical user interface, such that the available range is visually indicated within the second range; and responsive to receiving a selection disabling the linking control, providing selectability of the second range, such that the selection of the second selectable parameter is not bounded by the available range. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system comprising:
-
a graphical user interface; a display device; a user interface selection device; and one or more processors configured to; provide the graphical user interface for rendering on the display device, the graphical user interface comprising; a first selectable parameter selectable within a first range, wherein the first selectable parameter is a central processing unit (CPU) capacity of a virtual machine, and wherein the first selectable parameter comprises first slider; a second selectable parameter selectable within a second range, wherein the first selectable parameter is a memory capacity of a virtual machine, and wherein the second selectable parameter comprises second slider; and a linking control, wherein the linking control is selectable for linking the selection of the first selectable parameter to an available range of the second selectable parameter; receive a selection of the first selectable parameter within the first range; responsive to receiving the selection of the first selectable parameter, provide an available range of the second range, wherein the available range is a subset of the second range such that a selection of the second selectable parameter is bounded by the available range, and wherein the available range and the second range are displayed within the graphical user interface, such that the available range is visually indicated within the second range; and responsive to receiving a selection disabling the linking control, provide selectability of the second range, such that the selection of the second selectable parameter is not bounded by the available range, and visually altering the available range within the second range. - View Dependent Claims (18)
