    Article Filters allow an article to be viewed only by a certain segment of site users.
    1. 1.  Customer filters apply to user's current Customer only?: Applies only if filters are added in the Customer Codes field in 12ii. Some users are attached to more than one Customer account. If a Customer Code filter is added. the user can view the article when in this Customer account. What about whey they switch to another account not in the filter list? Toggle this setting ON if the user should not see the article anymore. If OFF, the user can view the article as long as one of their linked Customer accounts has been added to the list.

          NOTE - This function works only with standard article widgets. It will not work if your site uses custom article widgets. 
          
          
13. Features are metadata you define to tag articles of an article type. They can then be used to help readers quickly locate articles that are relevant. So features and feature values should be meaningful to an article's content. Think of a 'feature' as a category and its 'values' as subtypes of the category. As an example, suppose your business sells homewares and you and other article creators have published many articles on products and designs for different rooms. A 'feature' could be 'room type', and values, 'bathroom', 'bedroom', 'loungeroom', etc. Articles can be tagged with particular room type values. Using the room type filter, readers can quickly find articles about decorating a particular room type, e.g., 'bathroom' or 'bedroom'.  
    
    You can add as many features as you require.
    
    In Feature, enter a name for the category. In Value, enter the subtype of this category.  TIP - For the filters to display in an article list, see the how-to guide on Add a Feature Filter.
