Facets

Facets are where attribute values are grouped by their attribute names.

For example, if there are tags T1 and T2, T1 has attributes "Manufacturer" and "Area-pump room", and T2 has attributes "Manufacturer" and "Area-machinery", the facet list will appear as:

• Manufacturer (2)

• Area-pump room (1)

• Area-machinery (1)

The following are the facet views that you can see when searching for data using categories (All|Tags|Documents).

For All, the facet view will have an aggregated count of tags and documents, which match the specified search term.

The values are hyperlinks and selecting a value will help you navigate to the respective category.

See the following example of Tags facets:

Load More Facets

The system is configured to initially show a maximum of 10 facets sorted alphanumerically.

If available, more facets can be dynamically loaded by scrolling down to the bottom of the list. The text Loading… will be displayed.

To search for the attribute value, type in the text box provided under each facet.

For example, enter "baldor" to find the "Baldor" value.

Note: The search term is case-insensitive.

Facet Filter

Faceted search enables you to further narrow down the search results based on the required attribute values.

In the example below, the results are filtered based on the Manufacturer attribute having values of "testmanufacturer1" or "testmanufacturer10" and with a Vendor of "vendor10".

When you select Apply, the results will be updated accordingly.

Selecting Clear removes all the selected facet values and takes you back to the full list.

Note: The Apply button is enabled if there is at least one selected or modified facet value. The Clear button will be enabled if there is at least one filter applied.

When selecting the "X" next to an attribute, it removes the search criteria (update with the Apply button).

The facets that are shown to you are strongly coupled with the search results and applied filter criteria (if any). if you do not see all the facets in the system, you must do one of the following:

• clear the facet criteria applied

• modify the criteria by clearing the checkbox

• closing the filter cards as needed

  Note: Facets are combined with an AND operation, for example, Manufacturer and Vendor. Attribute values within a facet are combined with an OR operation, for example, testmanufacturer1 or testmanufacturer10.

Facet Configuration

If a user has the Core Team Admin role, and switches to that role, a Configure facets icon will be available in the results panel.

Selecting the icon will show a dialog that allows the user to add and remove Attributes for each Category selected. For example, set the category to Tags and choose the following three attributes. Select Save.

In this case, facet attributes will be available for any of the three attributes chosen and that have values within the set of search results. So, if there are no results with the CableType attribute, the following two attributes will be listed.

In the Facet Configuration dialog, the field at the top of the Attributes list allows the list to be filtered. For example:
