The list of available objects can be filtered by typing an expression pattern in the text input area
above the list of available objects and clicking on the Filter button.
CAUTION:
Filtering large numbers of objects may exceed the limit for your server, in which case
you should reduce the number of objects being filtered and try again.
NOTE:
When using an expression pattern, you should be aware that the Web interface uses a
Regular Expression syntax for filtering whereas the Excel client uses a LIKE operator syntax. For
example, to search for an object with “DB” anywhere in the name, the filter text would use DB for
the web interface and *DB* for the Excel client. As another example, to search for an object starting
with “DB” and ending with “12”, the filter text would be ^DB.*12 for the Web interface and DB*12
for the Excel client. For more complex search patterns, please refer to the Regular Expression syntax
for the Web and the LIKE Operator help in Excel.
