2. Category Filters for Custom Grids

Select "Edit Element" to add categories to your custom grid items.

Next, scroll to "Other -> Filter", and enter the "categories" you wish to assign to the item.

• Quick Tip #2
  Assign multiple "categories" to an item by separating them with commas as shown in this screenshot.

Next, from the grid's "Nav-Filter-Sort" tab, add the "Filter" control to one of the grid's navigation dropzones.
