Why are my facet entries not capitalized?

Symptom
  • The entries that allow you to filter your search results contain terms that are in mixed case, including some that should be capitalized. 
Applies to
  • CONTENTdm
Resolution

First, make sure that the term you would like to see is in your list of controlled vocabulary terms and in the capitalized form that you want. Only fields that use a shared controlled vocabulary are processed for capitalization so if the field this vocabulary is used on is not set up to be a shared vocabulary, change the field settings to make it one. Finally, make sure you reindex the collection so that CONTENTdm can rebuild the display. 

Additional information

There is more on controlled vocabulary.
