“Facets” are powerful tools that allow shoppers to “Filter” products by “Category”, “Price”, or specific “Product Attributes” like “Color” and “Size”. Facets can be used as part of “Keyword-based” search results pages, or on Product Listing Pages, like category and subcategory pages. “Facets” are powerful tools that allow shoppers to “Filter” products by “Category”, “Price”, or specific “Product Attributes” like “Color” and “Size”. Facets can be used as part of “Keyword-based” search results pages, or on Product Listing Pages, like category and subcategory pages. For each “Category” configured for a tenant’s Product suite, you can define a set of Facets that filter the Site Product results. You can define facets based on the following sources:Product categories, which show subcategory values.Price, which can show a range of values or discrete values.And Product attributes, which are associated with a product type and show a range of values or discrete values. For each “Category” configured for a tenant’s Product suite, you can define a set of Facets that filter the Site Product results. You can define facets based on the following sources: Product categories, which show subcategory values. Price, which can show a range of values or discrete values. And Product attributes, which are associated with a product type and show a range of values or discrete values. “Element Facets” are core filters automatically derived from your catalog structure. They come from three primary sources:Categories, which display top-level parent categories.Subcategories, which automatically populate facet values based on the category hierarchy. For example, Categories like “Men’s”, then “Pants”, then “Jeans”.Or Price, which filters products by custom or discrete price ranges, like Products Under twenty-five dollars.These values are updated automatically; for example, adding a new subcategory immediately creates a new facet value. “Element Facets” are core filters automatically derived from your catalog structure.

Attribute Facets are Filters based on product-specific characteristics like Color, Material, Brand, Heel Height, or Width. New attribute values automatically appear as facet values once added to a product. For attributes with a “list” type, we can use “Attribute Definitions” to mirror the specific order set in the attribute list, like “Sizes” Small to XL. Note that the attribute must be toggled to “Available as Filter & Sort” in the attribute settings in order to show up as an option when creating facets. We’ll discuss “Attribute Facets” shortly.

In the “Search” box at the top of the section, we’ll begin typing an “Attribute” name and check the box of the Attribute or Attributes we want to add. We can select as many Attributes as we’d like to add to the Facet list. Once we’ve selected them, we’ll click “Add”. We can select as many Attributes as we’d like to add to the Facet list. Once we’ve selected them, we’ll click “Add”. To change the order of Facets in the list, click the “hamburger” icon to the left of the Attribute, and drag-and-drop them in the desired order. To change the order of Facets in the list, click the “hamburger” icon to the left of the Attribute, and drag-and-drop them in the desired order. When we create Facets on “Category” pages, we can select an order for the Facet Values on the storefront. To change any Facet’s “Value” order, click “Edit” to the right of the facet in the table.Next, we’ll discuss all of the ways we can order the Facet Values. When we create Facets on “Category” pages, we can select an order for the Facet Values on the storefront. To change any Facet’s “Value” order, click “Edit” to the right of the facet in the table. Next, we’ll discuss all of the ways we can order the Facet Values. If you don’t select a facet order for new facets, the system automatically uses the following default facet value orders for the following facet types. We’ll expand on these in the next slides. If you don’t select a facet order for new facets, the system automatically uses the following default facet value orders for the following facet types. We’ll expand on these in the next slides. All Attribute Facets that have an “Input Type” of “List” include the “Attribute Definition” and “Attribute Definition (Reverse)” order options.The “Attribute Definition” option orders the Facet values by how we ordered the values when we created the Attribute, while the “Attribute Definition (Reverse)” option orders the Facet values in reverse of how we ordered the values when we created the Attribute. All Attribute Facets that have an “Input Type” of “List” include the “Attribute Definition” and “Attribute Definition (Reverse)” order options. The “Attribute Definition” option orders the Facet values by how we ordered the values when we created the Attribute, while the “Attribute Definition (Reverse)” option orders the Facet values in reverse of how we ordered the values when we created the Attribute. All Attribute Facets automatically include the “Facet Count: Low to High” or “Facet Count: High to Low” order options. Both of these options order the Facet values by the number of products associated with each Facet value, in either “Ascending” or “Descending” order. All Attribute Facets automatically include the “Facet Count: Low to High” or “Facet Count: High to Low” order options. Both of these options order the Facet values by the number of products associated with each Facet value, in either “Ascending” or “Descending” order. When we create a Facet that has a data type of “Number”, we can specify what Facet values are displayed. We can set the “Display Style” to either of the following values:“Values”, where KIBO uses the values we specified in the Attribute’s definition as the Facet values, then we’ll specify a “Facet Order” using one of the above Facet order options.We can also select “Range”, where we specify the explicit Facet values as a series of “Ranges”, for example “5” to “10”, “10” to “20”, et cetera. The system then automatically orders these Facet Range values in “Descending” order. When we create a facet that has a data type of number, we can specify what facet values are displayed. We can set the display style to either of the following values. Values. Where kibo uses the value. We specify in the attributes definition, as the facet values, then we’ll specify a facet order using one of the above facet order options. We can also select range where we specify the explicit facet values as a series of ranges, for example, 5 to 10, 10 to 20 Etc. The system, then automatically orders these facet range values into sending order. This is an example of editing a “List” type Attribute. We can choose the facet order options from the drop-down, and then click the “Confirm” button. This is an example of editing a “List” type Attribute. We can choose the facet order options from the drop-down, and then click the “Confirm” button. In this example, the Attribute list has the “Number” value type, so the “Numerical” Facet order option is shown. In this example, the Attribute list has the “Number” value type, so the “Numerical” Facet order option is shown. For Attributes with “Numerical” values, like “Price” or “Number Lists”, choosing the “Range” radio button brings up the “Range Selector” where we can edit the number of ranges and the “minimum” and “maximum” values per range. For Attributes with “Numerical” values, like “Price” or “Number Lists”, choosing the “Range” radio button brings up the “Range Selector” where we can edit the number of ranges and the “minimum” and “maximum” values per range. Clicking the “Search Results” tab allows users to add Facets that will display for “Keyword Search”.For headless e-commerce sites, users should configure the front-end to remove empty Facets to keep the presentation simple.
