Select a site and then select Edit Site.
Select the checkbox of the MealViewer Menu Group which is associated with each 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.
