Creating a Custom Package Filter

You can create custom package filters that enable you to specify which packages to display in the Object Browser. A package filter consists of one or more filters in the form of wildcards and regular expressions. Once you create the package filter, it becames available in the combo box in the Packages pane.

To create a new package filter:

  1. Open the Object Browser.

  2. Click the ellipsis (...) button in the upper right corner of the Packages pane to open the Package Filter dialog box.

  3. In the Package Filter dialog box, click New.

  4. In the Create New Filter dialog box, type a name for the package filter and click OK.

    The name is added to the list of package filters in the top panel of the Package Filter dialog box. A generic wildcard filter is displayed in the Details panel of the dialog box.

  5. Select the new wildcard filter.

  6. Select the Wildcard or Regular Expression radio button and type in the filter.

  7. Press Change.

  8. Press OK to exit the dialog box.

To put an additional filter in the package filter, press Add to create a new generic filter and then repeat steps 4 through 6 of the previous procedure.
