Facet Improvements

Encore now includes the following facet improvements:

  • Publication Date Facet - Previously, the Publication Date facet position was fixed to the bottom of the facet panel. With this release, this facet can be re-positioned to appear anywhere within the facet panel.
  • Apply Button - The pop-out menu for a specific facet includes an Apply button. This enhancement enables patrons to select multiple facets without the page refreshing between each selection.
  • Sorting Facet Values - Within the pop-out menu for a specific facet, a patron can sort available facet values by hit count or alphabetically on demand.
