### Date Range Filter

Filter items by their dates:

2. Select start and end dates
3. Items overlapping with this range are shown

## Combining Filters

Filters work together with AND logic:

* **Item Type = Story** AND **Product Area = Dashboard**
* Only stories in the Dashboard product area are shown

## Filter Persistence
