# Create and use object filters

Create and use filters to reduce the number of items, requests, projects/streams, or baselines that are displayed in the content pane. A filter is a set of search criteria that you use to locate and display objects that match your criteria.

To create a filter:

1. In the content pane, from the Filters list, select New Filter.

2. In the Filter Name field, enter a name for the filter.

3. In the General tab, set values to limit the number of found objects.

   For more information about the values on each tab, click the Help button in the dialog box.

4. To search for objects by specifying attribute values, do the following:
