# Filtering objects

> Filter test sets by native properties such as updated by or studio project, and manage columns and labels.

Narrow a long list of test sets, requirements, or test cases with filters in the Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Sets sections. For example, you can find all failed test cases for a product component.

## Filtering objects

Filters narrow the object lists in the Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Sets sections to the objects that match your criteria.

### Steps

1. Go to the desired test object section (that is, Requirements/Test Cases/Test Sets).
2. Select one or several of the available filtering criteria.

### Result

The object list shows only the objects that match the filtering criteria you selected.

## Managing the displayed columns

The columns of the object list show the native properties that you choose.

### Steps

1. To manage the columns that are displayed in the table, select **Columns**, and select or clear the check boxes of one or more native properties of the object. Select **Apply**. The **Created by** and **Updated by** columns show the user who created or last updated the object.

### Result

The table shows the columns that you selected.

## Adding a filter to the filter bar

A filter can appear as a standalone selection criterion in the filter bar.

### Steps

1. To have a filter appear as a standalone selection criterion in the filter bar, select **More filters**, and select or clear the check boxes of native properties or of custom fields (of the type **label**). Select **Apply**. To remove a filter from the filter bar, select **More filters** > **Clear selection**.

### Result

The filter appears as a standalone selection criterion in the filter bar.

## Viewing objects updated by users

Filtering by **Updated by** lists the objects that you or other users updated.

### Steps

1. To view objects updated by you or other users, select **Updated by**, and select or clear the check boxes of one or more users. Select **Apply**. To revert your changes, select the x sign next to **Updated by**.

### Result

The list shows only the objects updated by the users you selected.

## Updating custom fields in bulk

You can update a custom field of the type **label** for several objects at once.

### Steps

1. To bulk update the custom field (of the type **label**) for several data objects, select the check boxes of one or more objects, and then select **Update**. In the **Update labels and custom fields** pane, select a custom field, and perform the operation of interest: **Add values**, **Remove values**, **Clear all values**.

### Result

The custom field is updated for the objects you selected.

## Scenario

You want to check all the test cases which failed for the “Accounting” product component.

### Steps

1. Create the “Product Component” custom field. Add “Accounting” as one of its values.
2. Go to **Test Cases**.
3. Select **Group by**, and select the “Product Component” check box.
4. In the **Group by** panel, select “Accounting”.
5. Select **More filters** > **Latest result**. The **Latest result** filter appears on the filter bar. Expand the **Latest result** filter, and select the **Failed** check box.
