Field Catalogue
A canonical list of fields (category, subcategory, brand, price, size, color, availability, rating) with internal IDs and value maps to ensure consistent data joins between CMS, PIM, and search.
A clear template reduces development time, prevents inconsistent user experiences, and preserves discoverability by producing predictable filter querystrings and crawlable URLs. Standardization also simplifies A/B testing and analytics, and reduces errors when integrating search, inventory, and merchandising systems.
Cross-functional ownership ensures filters remain coherent as inventory, promotions, and analytics needs change.
Manages scope and acceptance criteria for filter behavior, reviews analytics after launch, and coordinates with merchandising to add or retire attributes. Responsible for stakeholder sign-off on default sorts and mandatory filter fields.
Defines attribute values and business rules (e.g., priority facets, brand groupings, and promotional pins). Works with analytics to monitor conversion impact and refines filter options based on performance data.
A canonical list of fields (category, subcategory, brand, price, size, color, availability, rating) with internal IDs and value maps to ensure consistent data joins between CMS, PIM, and search.
Defines control types (checkbox, radio, range slider), default states, and mobile collapse behavior so the shopping experience is predictable across viewports.
Specifies ARIA roles, keyboard focus order, and visible labels to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA requirements for filter controls.
Includes debounce times, server-side pagination defaults, and lazy-loading recommendations to prevent slow page loads and poor Core Web Vitals scores.
Documents event names, payload attributes, and UTM handling so every filter interaction produces consistent metrics for conversion and engagement analysis.
Tracks template revisions, release notes, and rollback instructions to minimize regression risk during deployments and A/B experiments.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Category Mapping | Link CMS taxonomy ID to template category key |
| Search Index | Confirm attribute names match Solr/Elasticsearch schema |
| Analytics | Add event names and payload attributes |
| Release Channel | Staged rollout via feature flag system |
Confirm environment requirements with engineering and include versioned export files for traceability and automated deployments.
Provide a machine-readable JSON schema that lists keys, types, allowed values, and validation rules so engineers can automatically generate form controls and enforce data integrity during ingestion.
Include spacing, color, and component sizing tokens for filter controls to maintain visual consistency across product pages and reduce front-end variance during integration.
Attach an events spreadsheet documenting event name, trigger, and payload keys for every filter interaction to ensure consistent instrumentation and downstream reporting.
Supply a QA checklist and automated test scripts (accessibility, performance, and cross-browser) that reflect edge cases such as empty results, long label truncation, and simultaneous multi-facet selection.
1–2 weeks to gather specifications and wireframes
1 week to align CMS and index attributes
2–4 weeks for front-end and API work
1–2 weeks for testing and fixes
1 week with monitoring and rollback plan

The team standardized filter labels and query params to reduce integration errors during rollout.
Property listings used a shared template for filters and map-radius search.
