How To Reset A Field Attribute Using Coveo Cloud Administration Console

This is for:

Developer System Administrator

This articles explains how to reset the following field attributes:

• isFacet
• isMultiValue
• isSortable

1. Edit the Coveo.SearchProvider.Custom.config file.
2. Under the fieldMap > fieldNames node, find the field to modify.

3. Change the attribute from the field configuration and set it to false. For example, change isFacet="true" to isFacet="false" to make a field non facetable.

   If you’re able to find this element, you might need to copy it from the Coveo.SearchProvider.config file. However, you’re discouraged from modifying this file, as it may cause issues during upgrades.

4. Open the Control Panel and select the Coveo Cloud Administration Console.
5. In the Content section, select the Fields tab.
6. Double-click the line containing the field to modify.
7. Set the desired field attribute (or attributes) to false. For example, set isFacet to false to make a field non-facetable.

8. Click Save.

   To reset any of the listed field attributes, you must make changes to both configuration file and Coveo Cloud Administration Console. If one of the two is set to true, any synchronizing or rebuilding action will override your reset attempt.
