Metadata Manager
The Metadata Manager enables Goldfire administrators to configure and customize the user search experience with metadata that is extracted from corporate sources. To work with it, you must first be in Administrator Mode. When you are in this mode of Goldfire, the panel of filters and concepts (facets) in the search results of a query becomes active, allowing you to specifically manage each filter/field so that the users' search experience is customized to organizational needs.
When you are in Administrator mode, the filters panel display the following sections of filter categories:
- Display to users - filter categories displayed to end-users.
- More metadata & fields - filter categories that you (in Administrator mode) configure to display to end-users, or descriptive fields.
- Empty - filter categories that do not have any data for the query you currently are working with.
- Administrative - filter categories that can help you more effectively narrow the scope of the search and also supports your index upgrade requests.
To change the positions of filter categories, click Reorder and then drag the filter categories in the desired order. 
Click Apply to enable your changes.
Click 
next to a filter to open the Configure dialog box to configure the meta data and descriptive fields. The changes you make affect all users associated with your account. Specify the following options in the dialog box, and then click Apply to enable your changes:
Title
- Assign a new title to a specific field. The title that you choose should already exist in the list of fields. Type in the desired title for the field in the Title box and click Apply.
Facet properties
Select the Display to users check box for users to see this filter category.
Select where to place this particular field/facet in the list of filter categories. Click Select Position, and then drag and drop the facet in the desired location in the list of filter categories that the users see.
Click OK.
Search
- Impact on search priority - in the drop-down box, assign a search priority for the field by choosing None, Low, Medium, or High. The level of priority you select determines the order of documents displayed in your search results.For example, if you assign High priority to a field, documents with this field that match your query appear higher in the search results.
- Wildcard search - enable the field for wildcard searching with a ? or * character.
- When to show data in each result - choose how information (metadata or descriptive fields) is displayed in search results by selecting an option from the drop-down box:
- Don't show - do not display references to this field in search results.
- Show always if matched - references to this field, when it matches your query appear in the search snippets of search results.
- Show always - information (metadata or descriptive field), if available is displayed in every search result.
- Show only when best matched - display references to this field when it is most relevant to the query.
- Display Location - see references to this field either Under title or in the Citation of the search results.
- Display Label - display the title of the field in the citation and in the More Matches section of search results.
- Precision - specify the level of numeric precision to see for queries that contain numeric data. The Precision parameter only appears when the filter is a Float type.
Advanced search
- Display as advanced filter - enable this field as a filter in the Advanced Search dialog box and as a potential query type-ahead suggestion when you submit a query in the Query box. Visibility of Advanced Search filters is enabled using the Advanced Search Administrator mode dialog box. Click Administrator Mode for details.
- Sort by the field value - this option can only be enabled for corporate knowledge bases, and specifically for the Datetime and Numeric metadata types. When enabled, corresponding additional sorting criteria appears under the Sort by option, which appears above the results grid in Goldfire Researcher.
You must re-index your data using Goldfire Administrator after activating this option. If the Datetime and Numeric metadata types do not exist, re-index your knowledge base using the Index Upgrade option; otherwise, rebuild the knowledge base using the fast-metadata option.
More Actions
- Delete - you can only delete custom fields. When you delete a field, you also delete all the metadata extracted from a document that is associated with this custom field so that it will no longer be indexed, searchable, and available as a filter. In order to complete the process of deleting a field, the relevant documents in the index must be upgraded and you might encounter the following cases:
- When you delete a field, Goldfire identifies the documents that are associated with the field you are deleting. These documents are then flagged for indexing via the Index Upgrade Detection task. The documents are then processed according to the Recurrence schedule. It is possible that you must manually re-index the knowledge bases in which the documents are housed.
- In certain cases, Goldfire cannot identify the documents that are associated with the custom field that you are deleting. You must manually request an Index Upgrade for these documents. Refer to the Index Upgrade page for more details.
- In certain cases, Goldfire does not require that you perform an index upgrade when you delete a certain type of custom field (for example: compound fields).
