A computer-implemented method for filtering components from a logical component hierarchy is provided. The method uses a computing device having a processor and a memory. The method includes identifying, in the memory, a filter associated with the logical component hierarchy. The method also includes comparing, by the processor, a sub-component of the logical component hierarchy with the filter. The method further includes identifying the sub-component for filtration based on the comparison of the sub-component with the filter. The method also includes filtering the sub-component from the logical component hierarchy.
