Configuring the Available Refinements behavior for base view attributes

For each attribute in a base view, the Views page attributes list allows you to configure settings for how to handle selection and sorting of attribute values on the Available Refinements panel.

In the attributes list for a base view, to configure the value selection and sorting for each attribute:

From the Refinement Behavior list, select whether users can select multiple values, and if so, whether the records must contain all of the selected values.

Refinement Behavior list and Include in Available Refinements column for a view attribute

The available options are:

Option	Description
Single	Indicates that end users can only refine by one value at a time.
Multi-OR	Indicates that end users can refine by more than one value at a time. For multi-or, a record matches if it has at least one of the selected values. So if an end user selects the values Red, Green, and Blue, then matching records only need to have one of those values (Red or Green or Blue). Note that date/time attributes are always multi-or. You cannot change the refinement behavior for a date/time attribute.
Multi-AND	Indicates that end users can refine by more than one value at a time. For multi-and, a record matches only if it has all of the selected attribute values. Multi-and should only be used with multi-value attributes. So if an end user selects the values Red, Green, and Blue, then matching records must have all of those values (Red and Green and Blue).
