Fields: Configure Facet Display
Configure Facet Display lets you configure the “facets” (or categories) that display in Searching for a specific search profile. Facets let patrons narrow their initial search results by limiting the search results to a subset of items. By default, the software delivers a set of predefined facets including Author, Format, Item Category 1, Item Category 2, Material Type, Keywords, Language, Library, Shelf Location, Publication Date, and Subject.
Profiles > Configure Facet Display
For each facet, the software might display a list of options (or “navigators”) that are specific to the patron’s search results. Patrons can refine their search results based on the facets and navigators that are available for the search profile they are using. You can add or remove which facets display in Searching, and the order in which they appear to patrons.

The Portfolio digital asset manager creates facets for authorization types (such as Access Level or Need to Know) but, by default, does not include them in the displayed facets list. The authorization type facets help the software organize and present results according to authority rights, but they are not intended to be displayed as facets. When displayed, authorization type facets tend to be confusing. |

Any changes to search profiles will not be reflected to the patron in Searching until the metadata cache is refreshed. For more information, see Refreshing the search cache. |
