Tips for Best Results

DO:

• • Use filters to narrow results
• • Select appropriate GLAM type for your collections
• • Use semantic search for broader discovery
• • Export filtered results for reports
• • Set type at collection level, then apply to children

DON'T:

• • Don't mix incompatible GLAM types in same hierarchy
• • Don't ignore auto-detected types without reason
• • Don't forget to reindex after bulk type changes
