Configuration capabilities
The interface allow you to configure :
Portal universes
Portal top filter bars (per universe)
Portal advanced search filters (per universe)

Managing Filters
The interface allows you to create search filters and search filter groups with specific settings, like operators, dynamic search (filterFromAggregates). Creating your filters is a prerequisite for configuring the universes.
