Article Filtering and Display

When you have a lot of articles, finding a specific one would be difficult without filters. The filters are at the top of the list of articles in the Article Manager, shown in Figure 3-11. You can filter articles one of two ways:

  • Enter a word in the article title in the Filter box on the left and click Go.

  • Select one or more items from the drop-down menus to filter articles by Section, Category, Author, or State.

When you’re done, you can reset your filters by clicking the Reset button.

Filters are also available in the Category Manager, Section Manager, Front Page Manager, Menu Item Manager, Module Manager, and the Plugin Manager. Many components use filters to customize the display or to locate specific items.
