Commerce Reference Store defines a number of facets for guided navigation, based on dimension values stored in the MDEX. The table below lists the facets, the names of the Endeca dimensions they correspond to, and the ATG properties that the dimensions are created from. Note that the ATG property names are relative to the product item type, which is the top-level item in the definition file of the ProductCatalogOutputConfig component.
Facet Name | Endeca Dimension Name | ATG Property Name |
|---|---|---|

The Category facet (the product.category dimension) is hierarchical. All of the other facets are non-hierarchical dimensions.
Size, Color, Wood Finish, Brand, and Feature all support selection of multiple values of an individual facet, with the selections combined using Boolean OR. This means, for example, that for the Color facet, the customer can select both Green and Blue, and the results will include any products that have a SKU whose color property is either Green or Blue.
The ability to select multiple values of a facet is specified in the definition file of the ProductCatalogOutputConfig component, using the multiselect-type attribute. The color property is specified like this:
<property multiselect-type="multi-or" subtype="clothing-sku"
name="color" is-dimension="true"
type="string" property-accessor="languagePropertyAccessor"
filter="unique" text-searchable="true"/>
See the ATG Endeca Integration Guide for more information about multiselect options.
