3. In the Object Selection area, you can restrict the number of displayed development objects manually by entering the
   • Property Filter on base of the following tree levels from the Tree Structure area to filter for:

     Property	Technical Key	Filter Example	Description
     Owner	owner	owner:testuser	User who has created or is responsible for a development object
     Object Type	type	type:clas,inf,stru,dtab stru and dtab are examples for alias names to differentiate between database tables and structures.	Object type of the development objects The object type is abbreviated as four-character string. Alias types are used for non-unique transport types.
     Package	package	package:basis	ABAP package where the development objects are assigned to
     API State	api	api:released	Release state that describes the availability of a development objects

     You can limit your filter, for example, as follows:

     • type:clas: for ABAP classes
     • package:basis: for ABAP objects that are saved in the ABAP package "basis"
     • type:clas,tabl package:basis: for ABAP classes and database tables that are saved in the ABAP package "basis"

     You can also combine filters, such as api:released type:clas, owner:test package:basis.
