1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents enable a computing device to display on a display device a user interface for operations to be performed by remote end user electronic gaming devices, comprising:
- generating a display of the user interface that includes;
operation assignment interfaces, each operation assignment interface providing information about an operation associated with the remote end user electronic gaming devices and configured to enable a user to selectively display and hide information about the operation and status of a plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices coupled to the network, the selectively displayed information associated with each of the plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices and including data indicative of;
a hardware component inventory associated with the plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices;
a software package inventory associated with the plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices; and
a proposed modified software package for multicast distribution to each of the plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices, the proposed modified software package including an end user electronic gaming device executable instruction set and a software package inventory generated responsive to the respective hardware component inventory and the respective software package inventory associated with the plurality of selected remote end user electronic gaming devices;
a calendar interface that provides at least date and time information, andat least one graphical linking indicator that provides visual relational information of related operations using a linear graphical element that visually connects related adjacent operation assignment interfaces, the user interface configured to enable scheduling, updating, and monitoring of remote end user computing device operations through the operation assignment interfaces on the calendar interface.
