Kentico - Excluding a specific Custom Table from staging data tasks

I am adding a new custom table to my Kentico 10 website. I want any custom table structural changes synched, however I do not want data synched between my different environments.

I do have other custom tables though that I want to keep logging staging tasks for.

How do I exclude for a specific custom table? I can see sample: https://docs.kentico.com/k10/custom-development/handling-global-events/excluding-content-from-staging-and-integration

But I don't know what property I can use on the synchronizedObject to validate if its relevant to the custom table.

All the samples I've found so far have been for users/roles which are an out of the box object type.

Create a global handler for the log change events of custom table in question. Use something like this:

using CMS;
using CMS.DataEngine;

// Registers the custom module into the system
[assembly: RegisterModule(typeof(CustomHandlerModule))]

public class CustomHandlerModule : Module
{
    // Module class constructor, the system registers the module under the name "LogChangeHandlers"
    public CustomHandlerModule()
        : base("CustomHandlerModule") { }

    // Contains initialization code that is executed when the application starts
    protected override void OnInit()
    {
        base.OnInit();
        ObjectEvents.LogChange.Before += LogChange_Before;
    }

    private void LogChange_Before(object sender, LogObjectChangeEventArgs e)
    {
        // check the type info for your specific custom table type/item.  
        // Could use a switch statement here too if you have multiple
        // make sure to update "namespace" and "classname" with your custom data.  
        // Do not modify the "customtableitem" string, that is needed.
        if (e.Settings.InfoObj.TypeInfo.ObjectType.ToLower() == "customtableitem.namespace.classname")
        {
            e.Settings.LogStaging = false;
        }
    }
}
