  2. Select a site and then select Edit Site.

  3. Select the checkbox of the MealViewer Menu Group which is associated with each line. 

    Info

    In the example below, the Line 1 Display Group will show recipes from the All American Line and the Hot Line. The Line 2 Display Group will show recipes from the Asian Line and SouthWest Line. The Line 3 Display Group will show recipes from the Gluten-Free Bar, Salad Bar, and the Vegan bar. The Line 4 Display Group will show all recipes which have not been assigned a Menu Group.
