Manage properties
After your property lists become extensive, you'll still want to be able to find the properties you need quickly. This article shows you how to search (filter) for properties, as well as how to delete obsolete properties.

To filter for a specific property or group of properties, click inside the Search field and enter the text or string to search for. The list updates dynamically as you type, displaying matching results.
To refine your search, enter new parameters in the Search field based on the initial results.
