Hello everybody.

I have a question about navigating by subject within a collection (like this: https://bibliotecadigital.mpf.mp.br/bdmpf/handle/11549/38/browse?type=subject). Links are created for each subject (dc.subject) found. What I noticed is that links are created for dc.subject, dc.subject.other, dc.subject.classification, etc. I would like the subject navigation to only search the dc.subject.classification metadata. Is it possible to make this configuration?

Hi Aroldo,

Yes, all Browse options in DSpace are configurable.

By default, the Subject browse uses all "dc.subject.*" metadata fields, as configured in the dspace.cfg here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-7.5/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1156

However, you can modify that setting to only browse "dc.subject.classification" fields by changing it to:

webui.browse.index.4 = subject:metadata:dc.subject.classification:text

You will need to reindex all content in your DSpace for that change to take effect. (./dspace discovery -b)

For more information, see the documentation on Browse Index Configuration: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Configuration+Reference#ConfigurationReference-BrowseIndexConfiguration
