5. The method of claim 1 , wherein act (A) includes providing the user interface further comprising the view definition editing component to enable the user to specify a first network object type of the plurality of network object types, the method further comprising acts of: (D) determining whether the first network object type is an indexed network object type; (E) if the first network object type is an indexed network object type, determining an indexing variable for the first network object type; and (F) determining whether the indexing variable determined for the first network object type is compatible with an indexing variable being used for the table, wherein, act (B) includes editing at least one column via the view definition editing component based at least in part on results of act (F).
