Leading practice

The Coveo Dynamic Distance Facet Range is now recommended over the Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering.

Implements the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework FacetRange component to display a facet whose values are expressed as numeric ranges. The facet is based on an item-user distance value computed by the Coveo index.

Usage notes

  • To use the Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering, you need to:

    • Add the Coveo Distance Resources rendering and a Position Provider rendering to automatically calculate the user-item distance and store it in a field.

    • Select the name of the Distance field to store the distances in. By default, Coveo for Sitecore suggests distance as the name of this field (which comes from the List Value Parameter item located in the /sitecore/system/Settings/Indexing and Search/Coveo/Distance Field Names folder). Refrain from creating custom List Value Parameter items: these items are either not located by the Coveo for Sitecore data source or deleted during an upgrade.

  • To use the Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering with custom numeric ranges, create a content tree structure, such as the one below, containing a Custom Numeric Ranges item with children Numeric Range items. This structure can be placed anywhere in the content tree. You will reference the location of the Custom Numeric Ranges item in the Facet value ranges data source option (see Configure custom ranges for a date range or numeric range facet).

  • Any change to the facet range value selections triggers a new Search API call.

  • You can customize the CSS associated with this rendering.

Insertion location

Coveo Hive

The Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering is an Allowed Control in the following placeholder(s): Facets

Example insertion sequence for the Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering.

Coveo Hive SXA

Coveo for Sitecore SXA rendering insertion locations aren’t limited by placeholder Allowed Controls. The Coveo Distance Facet Range rendering may therefore be inserted throughout the partial design, whether in Coveo for Sitecore or Sitecore placeholders.
