Example

Configuration

The following sections can be configured for this type of facet (in order of appearance in the Sitecore Content Editor):

• Appearance
• Data
• Targeting

Data configuration section

The Data configuration section contains the following properties which can be configured:

Setting	Type	Description
Max number of items to display	number	Limits the number of values initially displayed.
Max number of items threshold	number	Set this property if you want to override the amount of values shown when expanding the facet values. For example, when the max number of items to display is set to 3, setting this property to 5 will result in the behaviour that when there are 6 values available, the first 5 values will initially be shown. When expanding the facet values, all values will be shown.
Sort order	dropdown	Select the appropriate sort order for the facet values from the dropdown list if required. The following sort orders are supported: Order by name ascending Order by results (low to high) Order by name descending Order by results (high to low)
Priority facet values	text	Use this property to allow facet values to appear first, regardless of the sort order. Use the pipe ( | ) symbol to separate values.
Excluded facet values	text	Use this property to hide certain facet values. Use the pipe ( | ) symbol to separate values.
