Saving a Filter

When you set up a filter for a browse list, Pinnacle will remember that filter for you. Whenever you open the same browse window, the filter will automatically be applied to the list of items. The filter will remain in effect until you explicitly change or clear it.

You can also set up filters and save them for other users to use, or you might want to be able to swap between a few common filters that you use regularly. You can set up a filter and then save it.
