[EP-tech] Filtering a view

[Adam Field]

Whenever I need to do something fancy with browse views, I create automatic fields and browse based on that.  There's a training video:

http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Training_Video:Automatic_Fields

Essentially, you create a new field, and copy the values you're interested in into that field, then browse on that field instead of the original one.
