The Items Filter is a way for users to sort the entries under the different sections (Chapters, Committees, or Hot Topics) by a specific term. To enter a filter category for an Item category, enter the term(s) in the Filter 1 field (on the Items template or in the CMS).
If you have more than one filter term that applies to an entry, each term should be separated by the pipe symbol | (the key located below your backspace key on the keyboard).
