# coreFORCE - Catalog: Facets in coreFORCE

||| coreFORCE Advanced and Enterprise Only

Facets were designed to be ways in which customers can filter your products. These appear on the product search results left-hand side bar.

# How to use Facets for Best Results and Customer Experience

It is generally a good idea to limit the amount of values within your facets. If there are more than a few hundred values, the facet is no longer useful as a filter.

You can also customize which facets are displayed and in what order they appear.

# Adding Facets

You can add as many facets as you want in Products > Taxonomy > Facet Options.  The first box is an auto-complete for the facet name; the value can be anything you want.
