Hi David, well collapsing the facets would not be enought. Let me try to give an example.
As I read in previous messages, the teacher and student example is very common, so let's give it a go again. There a two types of data entries, teacher and students. Teachers have the following attributes: - label - type (acts like to previously mentioned 'domain') - school - salary - subjects taught While Students have: - label - type - school - favourite subject - average mark I now would like to have one view starting only with a type facet, a school facet and showing both teachers and students. When the user hits a school both, teachers and students are filtered. But if he hit a type, lets say Student, only students are shown and the facets favourite subject and average mark are shown too. Hitting Teacher works are analog. Only teachers and the facets salary and subject taught are shown. Is there a way to do that?
