Defining a facet range

This task describes how to define a facet that displays content items in ranges of values.

Before you begin

  • To create and edit facet, you need read and write rights on the Manage navigation page.
  • Add attributes you want to use as facets to the navigation index in the System Manager > Navigation > Navigation index. Attributes included in the navigation index are known as live attributes.
  • You can define a range for live attributes of basetype float.

Procedure

  1. Open the Business Manager.
  2. Go to Manage Navigation.

    The Manage facets screen shows a list of defined facets.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • Add a facet promotion by clicking Add facet.
    • Edit an existing facet by clicking the facet name.
  4. Enter Facet details:
    • Name—the name of the facet displayed in the Business Manager.
    • Creator—the name of the user who created the facet (entered automatically).
  5. Specify Facet composition:
    1. In Select attribute, choose an attribute of basetype float to be used for the facet. Examples of float attributes are Price or Population.
    2. Click Advanced settings.
    3. Click Enable brackets.
  6. In the Type drop-down menu, select:
    • Dynamic displays content items in ranges of values (from lower level to upper level) incremented according to a set value.
    • Fixed displays content items in an exact user-defined range of values.
  7. If you selected Fixed, define your own range values:
    1. Specify Start and End values.
    2. Click the plus sign to define another range.
  8. If you selected Dynamic, in the Range Type drop-down menu select:
    • Fixed-increment and set Value. For example, if you set Value to 10, the content items are ordered in ranges of 10:
      • 0-10 ()
      • 10-20 ()
      • 20-30 ()
      • 30 or more ()
    • For large numbers, select Power-increment and set Value. For example, if you set Value to 10, the lower range is multiplied by 1000 and the upper range is 10 times the value of the lower range:
      • 100000 - 1000000 ()
      • 1000000 - 10000000 ()
