1. A method for creating custom groups of objects in a computerized workflow system, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a computer system, an object within a network;
displaying, by the computer system, a first visual representation of the object on a graphical user interface, wherein the first visual representation of the object is a card including an interactive pin that facilitates creation of a custom group;
receiving, by the computer system, a selection of the object;
in response to receiving the selection of the object;
displaying details about the object in a first section of a graphical user interface,displaying a set of visual representations for an associated set of objects in a second section of the graphical user interface, wherein the associated set of objects is associated with the object, andupdating a breadcrumb trail displayed in the graphical user interface to include the object;
responsive to receiving a user interaction with the pin;
graphically changing the pin in the first visual representation of the object to facilitate removing the object from the custom group,displaying a second visual representation of the object in a group creation window on the graphical user interface, wherein the second visual representation also includes a graphical element to facilitate removing the object from the custom group, andcreating the custom group based on visual representations of objects displayed in the group creation window, wherein the custom group includes the object, wherein the custom group is a loose association of objects within the network and does not exist as a separate object within the network; and
performing, by the computer system, an operation on the custom group, wherein the operation on the custom group comprises a single operation that creates a workflow for each object in the custom group.

Abstract
A computer system comprises a display system and a workflow adapter in communication with the display system. The workflow adapter identifies an object within a network. The workflow adapter then received a selection of the object. In response to receiving the selection of the object, the workflow adapter creates a custom group that includes the object. The custom group is a loose association of objects within the network and does not exist as a separate object within the network. The workflow adapter then performs an operation on the group.
