enable more than 5 Local fields in Analytics
You can have up to 100 local field 9xx but can only publish to analytic 5 at the time, please add the option to publish all fields to analytic and if there is a problem to publish them all, enable to publish at list 25 local fields.
Also give the option to decide which fields you want to publish to the customer and not through Exlibris SF case.

The May 2018 Release includes the following: Local Parameters (1-10) were added to Holding Details dimension of the Physical Items subject area and the Bibliographic Details dimension (in which there were previously only 5 such fields) in all subject areas in which it appears. These fields allow you to use customizable fields in your reports.

It looks like Exlibris is planning to allow 10 local fields to be indexed in Analytics. See page 59 https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/@api/deki/files/53423/Alma_Roadmap_Highlight.pdf

David, I think they mean that Institutions should be able to configure the params themselves, without having to submit a Salesforce case and wait for ExLibris.
You can choose whichever five fields you like, but you have to go through ExL to have it set up or changed.

I'm a little confused now as to how the Local Parameter Fields work - from the documentation (http://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Analytics/120Physical_Items#Physical_Item_Details) I thought that each institution could choose which ever five 9xx fields they wanted, and that each institution could choose different fields?
But yes to more fields, and yes to being able to name them!

Since 9XX field definitions vary from library to library I'm not sure how the field names could be comprehensively included. It really is a local parameter. However, being able to have more than 5 published would be helpful whatever the naming convention.

But please write the 9xx field names, not just "local parameter 1".
