Here's an example that turns on faceting by default for the qLegalStatus column in the Street_Tree_List table in the sf-trees database: { ""databases"": { ""sf-trees"": { ""tables"": { ""Street_Tree_List"": { ""facets"": [""qLegalStatus""] } } } } } Facets defined in this way will always be shown in the interface and returned in the API, regardless of the _facet arguments passed to the view. You can specify array or date facets in metadata using JSON objects with a single key of array or date and a value specifying the column, like this: { ""facets"": [ {""array"": ""tags""}, {""date"": ""created""} ] } You can change the default facet size (the number of results shown for each facet) for a table using facet_size : { ""databases"": { ""sf-trees"": { ""tables"": { ""Street_Tree_List"": { ""facets"": [""qLegalStatus""], ""facet_size"": 10 } } } } }","[""Facets""]",[]
