# Configuring the Breadcrumbs component

This topic describes the high-level steps involved in configuring the Breadcrumbs component.

The Breadcrumbs component is configured via its preferences configuration menu:

To configure the Breadcrumbs component:

1. After adding a Breadcrumbs component to a page, click its .... button and then click Preferences.

   The Breadcrumbs preferences configuration view appears.

2. Select from the available data sources in the drop-down list, and then click Update data source to bind your selection to the component.

3. In the Multi-select collapse/expand threshold field, set the number of dimension values after which the list can be collapsed.
4. Click Save Preferences to save your changes.

To illustrate how the Multi-select collapse/expand threshold setting works, assume that it has been set to three. In the example below, dimension values for the Body dimension can be collapsed, because there are more than three selected. The dimension values for Flavors, on the other hand, cannot be collapsed, because there are only three selected.
