Changing filtering facets on the home page, search tab or contribute tab

Overview

In GeoNetowrk 4.x the indexing is happening dynamically so as long as the thesaurus is loaded correctly, the facets can be added as needed on the home page or in amongst the filtering facets on the Search and Contribute Board pages.

Thesaurus updates

A user with Administrator privileges can add a new Thesaurus into the catalog like so:

• navigate to Admin Console > Classification systems > Thesaurus
• select From local file from the Add thesaurus button
• set the Thesaurus type to Theme, Origin to external and upload the relevant thesaurus file by clicking (or dropping it on) the green Choose or drop files here button

Home page changes

As long as the thesaurus is loaded in the catalog, adding the facet to the Home page can be done from the Admin console > Settings > User interface page by adding the following block of code to the Home page > Facets configuration sub-section:

  "th_os-ngd_tree.default": {
    "terms": {
      "field": "th_os-ngd_tree.default",
      "size": 100,
      "order": {
        "_key": "asc"
      },
      "include": "[^^]+^?[^^]+"
    }
  },

JSON translation changes

In order for the facet name to appear correctly on the Home page you will need to add the following to the en-custom.json file:

"facet-th_os-ngd_tree": "OS National Geographic Database"
