Breadcrumbs let you summarize any Guided Navigation selections,
keyword searches, or range filters specified by the end user.
Breadcrumbs represent the following
information that was passed to the navigation state by the Conversation Web
Service response:
- Selected refinement values
that were used to query for the current record set.
- Keyword searches that were
used to query for the current record set.
- Range filters that have been
selected for the query.
Any standard or managed attribute value available in the data files of
the particular data domain can be selected as a breadcrumb.
Breadcrumbs honor EQL record filters (such as security filters), but do
not display them.
Breadcrumbs can reflect spelling correction and DYM (Did You Mean)
information returned by the Dgraph process of the Oracle Endeca Server in
response to keyword search queries.
In Studio, the
Breadcrumbs component lets you display breadcrumbs
made with navigation queries (when users select refinement values or range
filters for navigation), and keyword search queries.
For example, here is how user selections made in the
Guided Navigation component are reflected in the
Breadcrumbs component:
- When the user selects a
refinement in the
Guided Navigation component, it is reflected as
a breadcrumb in the
Breadcrumbs component.
- The user can select an
additional refinement in the
Guided Navigation component, thereby narrowing
down the scope of the record set for the query.
- Alternatively, the user can
remove a refinement value from the
Breadcrumbs component, which increases the scope
of the record set for the query.
