# Filtering objects

> Filter requirements, test cases, or test sets by native properties such as updated by or latest result to narrow down the object list.

You can filter the objects by their native properties (such as **Updated by**, **Studio Project**, and others).

:::note
The filters and saved views described on this topic apply to the **Requirements**, **Test Cases**, and **Test Sets** object lists. Filters within an open requirement's assigned test cases are a separate filter context and do not affect or share state with these saved views.

## 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.
