Systems and methods for creating network architecture planning tools
First Claim
1. A method of creating a network architecture planning tool, comprising:
- receiving at a host computer system a request from a user computer to display a first object template;
transmitting an electronic file comprising the object template to a user computer;
receiving at the host computer system information defining a first object comprising at least a function defining a next object;
receiving at the host computer system a request from a user computer to display at least a second object template;
transmitting an electronic file comprising the at least a second object template to the user computer;
receiving at the host computer system information defining at least a second object relating to a network; and
storing the information defining the first object and the information defining at least the second object.

10. A method of creating a planning tool, comprising:
-
determining a sequence of steps in a planning process;
associating at least one object with each step in the planning process; and
linking the objects according to the sequence;
wherein each object comprises an operation and the operation depends on a location of the step associated with the object in the sequence of steps. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method of creating a planning tool, comprising:
-
receiving at a host computer system a request to display a list of objects;
transmitting an electronic file comprising the list to a user computer;
receiving at the host computer system a selection of a first object;
receiving at the host computer a selection of at least a second object;
receiving at the host computer at least one link that associates the first object with the at least a second object; and
storing the first object, the at least a second object, and the at least one link. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)

32. A system for creating network architecture planning tools, comprising:
-
a host computer system; and
a network communicably coupling the host computer system to at least one user computer;
wherein the host computer system is programmed to;
receiving a request from the user computer to display a first object template;
transmit an electronic file comprising the object template to the user computer;
receive information defining a first object;
receive a request from the user computer to display at least a second object template;
transmit an electronic file comprising the at least a second object template to the user computer;
receive information defining at least a second object; and
store the information defining the first object and the information defining at least the second object;
wherein the information defining the first object includes a function defining a next object and the information defining at least a second object relates to a network. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
