Improve the formatting of Primo VE forms so that they can expand and accommodate longer titles.
In Primo VE the Resource Sharing and Purchase Request forms are designed to be very narrow - the entry fields are 50 characters wide. They look like they have been designed to be optimised for a mobile interface and do not resize if more room is available.
This means that if I requested Title is longer than 50 characters you cannot see it all at once.We have attempted to use changes in the css to widen the form but this causes issues with the display of Advanced Search fields.

Prevent OTB icons from loading before custom icons
Although Primo customers have the option of using custom resource type icons, the out-of-the-box icons still load momentarily before being replaced by the custom icons. This enhancement would prevent the OTB icons from loading for customers who opt to use their own icons.

Remove 490 from Browse Index
We would like the ability to remove certain fields from the Browse Index - specifically the 490 field. We still want it included in the Keyword Index, but not in the Browse Index. The reason for this request is that the 490 series description field is displaying in the Browse bib headings in Primo and Alma. This results in two series fields displaying, when there is only one series.

Categorise dbs/guides/sites via Primo admin. The databases be indexed, searched or browsed for in PrimoVE customers that do not have Alma
The ability to subject categorise databases, library guides, Web sites etc via Primo admin. The databases and guides they are included in the Primo index so that the words in the title, description or keywords when searched will appear within the results. Also so the resources can browsed for in PrimoVE or Primo classic by the categories so there is not a long list to scroll through. This is for customers that do not have Alma or any library catalogue. I have seen you can currently do this only for Alma catalogue users.

Provide LibGuides Type Functionality in Studio
Expand the new Primo Studio functionality to include an ability to create content like many of us are using through LibGuides. A simple content management system that would allow us to create simple web pages would allow us to replicate things like subject guides directly in Primo. If that content can also be indexed and searchable through the Primo VE search box that would be even better! This would avoid the need for seperate systems like LibGuides.

Allow Search Box Placeholder Text to Be Customizable by VIEW
The search box placeholder text is customizable in the Code Table (nui.search.placeholder) but the change is global. It would be much more useful if the default could be set in the Code Table and then further customized in each view if desired. Or, if that isn't possible, to remove it from the Code Table and just make it a customizable field in each view. Or, if that isn't possible, at least a check box in the view settings that would allow us to remove/hide the placeholder text that was set in the Code Table.
It's great that we can make…

Improve Display Logic in Alma Uresolver to show all variant coverage statements in a collapsed menu
Ideally, Alma should be able to display ALL unique variant coverage statements when showing a collapsed menu.
If a library uses the Display Logic rules to for example show Proquest as an option only once in a services menu, this works very well where a journal may be in 12 Proquest databases with the same coverage.
However, when the coverage varies significantly between these databases, Alma uresolver will still just show one of the coverage statements and a user will only see a subset of holdings and believe this is all the library has. (eg Nursing standard in Proquest is…

Physical items sort routine by date - enable I J K descending, but A B C descending
Hi
We're running into a problem with the Physical items sort routine - Sort according to date.For journals, we want to sort the latest item on top, this works correctly with
Sort according to chronology I/U/K (year/month/day) - DescendingBUT
The same sort routine is also used for multi volume monographs.
We found out that if we only fill out conditions for Chronology I J K, but those fields are empty, the barcode gets used for sorting.
Which leads to wrong sorts.So we had to add
Enumeration A, B, C as a condition.This leads to…

Add Limiter to Select PCI Collections in Primo VE Advanced Searches
I'd like to suggest that libraries have the option of adding a limiter to the advanced search area of Primo VE that would allow users to pre-select particular PCI indexes to search. Currently, this can only be done by applying the limiters once search results have been generated.
It would be beneficial if users had the option of pre-selecting which PCI collections to search prior to actually running the search.
