INTERACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS

A digital object provider creates an object, such as an offer, and associates container-specific handlers with the object so that the object can be associated with a specific container. An object management application manages receives and displays the object on a user computing device, along with a first user control option to associate the object with a container. When the user selects the first option, the object management application relies on the associated container-specific handlers to determine which containers are available for associating the object. The object management application provides the user with a second control option, from which the user selects one or more of the available containers with which to associate the object. Based on the user's selection, the object management application communicates the object to the selected containers, such as for storage in the container. The container receives the object and associates the object with the container.
