After Search Navigation

Use After Search Navigation to offer filters that refine search and navigation results.

The ASN module lets customers refine the results of a search or navigation request by selecting filters. It also lets you define which filter options are available.

Setting up ASN with the configuration editor

After Search Navigation can be configured in the configuration editor under the ASN submenu for search and the Navigation submenu for navigation. To make these changes, the user needs the AfterSearchNavigationManager role in the Management Interface.

For more detail on groups, roles, and user management, see Fact Finder user management.

ASN Search parameters

The ASN menu can be controlled through search parameters. The HTML, XML, and JSON interfaces all respond to URL queries with the matching parameters. In the Web Service interface, program objects and their attributes are passed instead.

Whenever you send data to FactFinder through a URL, make sure the encoding is set correctly. Otherwise, special characters and accented characters may be processed incorrectly. The default URL encoding for FactFinder is UTF-8.
