If you want to use a meta field as a facet, you must add it in mapping.json. For CSV, database, MongoDB, and AWS collections, you must update the correct file: csv.json, jdbc.json, mongodb.json, or amazonS3.json, all located in ../webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/.
If you want to add a number or date field as a facet, update it in mapping.json for web and file collections. For CSV, database, MongoDB, and AWS collections, update the same files: csv.json, jdbc.json, mongodb.json, and amazonS3.json in ../webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/. ref: Custom Fields in Search

The description of the fields in the preceding js file is provided in the following table:
