Metadata Facets

Facets help users search and filter data within Reach Engine to more quickly get to the asset(s) they want. Admins can create facets for metadata pick-list fields and then assign that facet to a role(s). When a user logs into Reach Engine, the user is presented with the metadata fields for the facets that their role(s) have visibility to see.
