Facet Navigation and Display Improvements

Improve Facet display by better utilizing space in Refinement Panel and utilizing word wrapping when necessary to display full facet value.

In All Facet view display data in a single column of scrollable data and utilize word wrapping when necessary to display full facet value.

For Limited Value facets such has: format, location, collection, age group, language, donor; allow the full facet content to display in the refine panel when expanded and in all facet view by adding scroll.

For larger value facets such as concepts, persons, publishers; enable a Load XX more <facet> button in the All Facet View to allow users to view more information without searching.

In All Facet View, upon open, display Search <facet> help text as well as place cursor in search box.

In the Mobile responsive views that collapse the refinement panel by default, when in Advanced Search Mode, add the 'refine results' panel open toggle to the top left above the instructional text on the landing page.

Remove the Apply Step when selecting facets globally for all Vega searches.

Add a setting that modifies the Location Facet by floating the 'home location' to the top of the facet list. Use Patron home if authenticated patron. Use preferred locations if kiosk or collection site.

    Our consortium catalog will always have more significant value facets, and searching in the All Facet View is not helpful for patrons. A Load More button is ideal so patrons can access all the information needed to refine their search. An authenticated patron's home library floating to the top of the Location Facet adds even more value to Refine Results.

    With over 70 locations, it's incredibly important that our patrons can easily view and select the locations they need from the location facet.

    It is essential that all concept facets (i.e. LCSH) are viewable by patrons, otherwise they will drift back to webpac. We have many patrons who like performing related works searches using the existing subject headings.
