About Log Filters
You can create a log filter to narrow down the amount of data displayed in the active
Test Log window. For example, you can create a filter to display only verification
points or computer starts. A log filter can make it easier to view large test logs.
Note:
TestManager stores log filters in a project. All log filters are available to all users
of a project but, when you apply a log filter to an active log, the results are visible only
on your local system.

create multiple filters that are similar to one another. After you create the first
filter, make a copy of it. Then edit the copied filter to make the necessary
modifications. You can also rename and delete a log filter.
