Session Object

A session object stores the session information of a transaction. The session information includes information about the current result set, page tracking, and navigation activity. The implementing agent must store and return the session information back and forth during runtime for each subsequent request.

Facets

Facets are a way of categorizing the content. They help you categorize information to enhance the search capabilities. Facet based search allows you to apply multiple filters while searching for information. If you are an author in Information Manger console, you can assign categories to the content and find the facets assigned to the content by referring the assigned categories.
