Customization Points
Update the service entry with Custom class in "service.properties" as shown in the sample code. In the example, facetCustomClass is the name of custom class.
wt.services/svc/default/com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.facet.FacetService/null/null/0=com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.facet.FacetCustomClass/duplicate
Implement the inherited method FacetService.isAttributeVisible(AttributeTypeIdentifier). The isAttributeVisible API returns boolean value which is set to true by default. You can customize theisAttributeVisible API to return false in case the customer wants to hide any IBAs from facet.
Example:
public booleanisAttributeVisible(AttributeTypeIdentifier ibaAttribute){
if(ibaAttribute.getAttributeName().equals("name of attribute")){
return false;
}
return true;
}
