How To Reset A Field Attribute Using Coveo Administration Console

In this article

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.

      Note

      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 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.

      Important

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