After you’ve uploaded metadata for your works using the steps described in the Upload Work Metadata page, you can take the next step and make that metadata truly useful. It's great to have metadata for every document to view, but it's even better to use it for filtering and finding documents. If you go back to the collection settings you can find the "Metadata Facets" field on the right side. Click "Enable Facets".
You'll have each of your metadata fields and can choose which ones you'd like to include in your faceting browse. For the ones you'd like to include, fill in a user-friendly label values, choose the "type" -- either "date" for years or "text" for anything else, and the order you'd like them displayed. Dates will always be listed before text fields.
Once you save the configuration, you can go to your collection, scroll to the bottom right and see the facets you've configured. Choosing values or date ranges will limit the documents you seen in the main collection view.
