[My Account] Display Requested media field in Requests View
It would be useful if Requested media field could be configured as a field to display in Requests View(My Account). Currently, the My Account page in Primo only displays limited information for ILL requests so that a user cannot see the full bibliographical details of ILL requests. The My Account page should provide more information to users. Lynne Porat also shared a similar idea in 2017. I appreciate your help in advance.

Visually Indicate Boolean AND Grouping of Facets
This is in reaction to a discussion on the mailing list ("[Primo] facets - issue with selecting one-by-one vs. multiple") and to have an idea for the other option (in contrast to [0]) to resolve the dilemma described there:
Instead of changing the system behavior it would be good to indicate what is happening. In general it makes sense that after selecting one facet, looking at the results and deciding to add another facet that the boolean connection of these two facets will be "AND", while selecting some facets in one go is likely intended to be an "OR".

Configure journals A-Z so titles from key suppliers can be ranked higher than lesser known suppliers/OA titles
We would like to apply some configuration to the Journals A-Z in Primo?
We have noticed that when browsing our A-Z the first few titles that appear under each letter do not tend to reflect our health and social care focused collection. We would like to have options to omit or give more weight to certain collections/titles in the A-Z so more prominent titles appear at the top rather than titles that are unlikely to have any significant use for our patrons.
One example would be under the letter L. We would hope a title such as The Lancet would…

Add Next and Previous arrows to Digital Collections
Add Next and Previous arrows to Details pages in Digital Collections and, ideally, to image viewers so that users don't have to click back to the collection thumbnails after viewing each collection item/image.
This could work the same way as the Next and Previous arrows in the Primo Details page for search results.

Capitals in Tags
Tags work currently only in lower case and this is OK for concepts. But when users need to tag regions and countries, the lower case creates a disturbance. Could it be possible to have tags respect Capitals?

Clearer messaging around simultaneous user restriction in Alma Digital
We would like a configurable message that lets the user know they have been denied access to an item in Alma Digital because of the simultaneous user restriction. Currently, we are only able to configure a generic access denied message.
Without specific messaging it causes a lot of confusion with users and work for staff explaining what the issue is.

Display and edit all user addresses in my account
By now, only the preferred address defined in Alma is displayed in Primo my account. All Alma user addresses should be displayed and be editable by patrons in my account of Primo. This is important for better transparency and to avoid invalid and deprecated addresses. It should also be possible to chooses the Address types in my Primo account to preferred, secondary, work and office.

Display all editions of FRBR items even when using scroll wheel or right button
In brief display in Primo, we can choose what will be displayed when a user clics on an FRBR title :
- a single item / a single edition in full display chosen by an algorithm ;
- or the list of all editions in brief display. This is what we have chosen to display, so our users can't miss the fact that we have several editions of the same book.But it actually only works if the user uses the left button of a mouse.
When using scroll wheel or right button, you always have an item chosen by…

Adding Facets to Database Search page.
By adding a 'Facets' pane to the Database Search results page, consistency between the different search type's results will be improved and users will be able to post-filter Find Databases searches.
For example: a user would be able to filter by both subject AND resource type as used to be possible when the Metalib interface was used for the Databases A-Z list.42 votes -
"Title starts with" advanced search should search alternate titles, too
The "Title starts with" advanced search in Primo and Primo VE only searches the 245 field, not the 246. This is problematic in cases where a title contains special characters, numbers, etc. For instance, if a user is doing a "Title starts with" search for a book called "Understanding & Dismantling Racism," they would need to use the ampersand rather than spelling out "and" in order to find the book. This is in spite of the fact that the bibliographic record for that book contains a 246 field with the "and" spelled out. One of the points of the 246…

Direct linking for digital objects to become customizable
At Leiden University we would like the direct linking to be customizable. If a record is related to both an electronic and a digital service, the electronic service is now preferred. We would like to be able to choose the digital service to be chosen.

Collection Discovery – enable alphabetical sort for each language
Hi
We are planning to use collection discovery by subject area and would like to sort the collection overview page alphabetically by title of collection.
Our Primo VE interface is multilingual. We'd like to translate the collection names, with correct alphabetical sort in all interface languages.
At the moment this is not possible: alphabetical sort is by the English titles.

Include Local collections in Collection Facet
Primo with PCI and CDI do not show Local Collection names in the Collection Facet. This is a disservice to our locally loaded collections. The way this facet is currently configured, it only relates with metadata fields on CDI records and will not show local collections.

Brief Record Display in Primo VE
We have just been updating the order of the icons thinks like Citation, Permalink, RefWorks, etc. When you set this up in Alma the order of the itmes is the wrong way round: The first item you want displayed has to be bottom of the icon list, not the top, which is completely counter intuitive. Please can the icons list sort top is first instead?

Add the PNX creator field to records in the Collection Discovery interface
The brief display of the items records in the Collection Discovery interface contains only the document type and the document title, We propose to add at least the creator PNX field to give the user more information about the document without having to open the full display. Ideally, we would like to be able to customize whjch fields appear in the brief display as we already do for the brief display in the result list.

Sort by library in the Location facet when library name is configured to display
When the option to display the library name in the Location facet is configured, we would like the Location facet to be sorted alphabetically by library.
Currently, the facet list is sorted by location, which means that results for the same library are scattered among the list. For a user it would make more sense to have all the locations from the same library listed together.

Make links in Collection descriptions appear as hypertext
In Alma Digital collections, you can put a bunch of text in a collection description, but URLs always appear as plain text in Primo.
