Create audience terms

Audience terms are used for Blog posts, Events, News items, Projects, and Services. They are a secondary way users can filter through content to easily find the article they are looking for.  

Terms such as undergraduate student, graduate student, faculty, staff, alumni, etc., are default terms that are included on any site. These audience terms can be deleted if not needed and their order may be rearranged if desired. Additional audience terms may be added to the site.
