Search facet configurations are separate in the Admin UI and Assets View in AEM as a Cloud Service
This article explains why search filters, also called facets, configured in the Admin UI aren’t automatically reflected in Assets View in AEM as a Cloud Service. To fix this, configure and maintain the search facets separately in each interface, then verify that the required filters appear and work as expected.
Description description
Environment
- Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service
- Adobe Experience Manager Assets
Issue/Symptoms
- Search filters, or facets, allow users to refine asset searches in both the classic Admin UI and modern Assets View.
- Search filters configured in the Admin UI aren’t automatically applied to Assets View.
- Search filters configured in Assets View aren’t automatically applied to the Admin UI.
- The same search filters must be configured independently in both interfaces to provide a consistent user experience.
Cause
The Admin UI and Assets View use separate configuration frameworks for search facets. A change made in one interface doesn’t update the configuration in the other interface.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
- In the Admin UI, navigate to Tools
>General>Search Forms>Assets Admin Search Rail. - Add, modify, or remove the required search facets in the Assets Admin Search Rail. Verify that the changes are stored in the configuration and reflected in the Admin UI.
- In Assets View, navigate to Settings
>General Settings>Search. - Use the filter configuration options in Assets View to add, modify, or remove the required search facets.
- Repeat the configuration changes in both interfaces if you want the same search facets to be available in the Admin UI and Assets View.
- Search for assets in each interface and verify that the required facets appear and work as expected.
