Set Default Preferences

The content bar on top, facets on left, content tags, and result summaries are all configurable from Set Default Preferences. Using the features available in Set Default Preferences, an instance user can hide the content sources tab, reorder facets, tweak the summary text length, and even set the value that will appear in the content tag. All the features and their capabilities are listed next.
