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.

Add records from Citation-only databases and/or "Citation Availability" statements
We need to give our users access to the wide range of content to which we subscribe, including the records in citation-only databases. If we subscribe to a resource and activate it in Alma, we would like these resources to be included in our "Filter by availability" searches in Primo VE -- even if the content is citation rather than full article text. When we "expand my results", too much additional content (such as non-licensed ebooks from selected packages) are included. We want to be able to include citation records but exclude inaccessible content. There isn't a way to do…

Enable/disable the article quote in Brief results
Brief results often show a quote/snippet for an article (see screenshot). In Primo VE it is currently not possible to enable/disable this. We would like to see this configuration option. All the other fields are customizable, why not this one?

Suppress ellipsis in journals holdings summary
When journals holdings are displayed in Primo VE, if the holding record has the field 866 (configured in Discovery> Holdings Display Configuration), is shown three points (ellipsis) that lead the user to think that we are still receiving issues but really the journal is not open. this.
Example: https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886043803706 https://www.screencast.com/t/sIu1QtKv0However, when the holdings record does not have this 866 field, it does not display the three dots.
Example https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886281903706 https://www.screencast.com/t/NUcSikfAKWe believe that these three points should disappear since with the link "See more" the user can see the additional information corresponding to field 866) and not show ...…

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…

Availability status for webhooks
The availability status for Primo Search Webhook records (such as for Newsbank) is always "Check for available services." Our users are accustomed to seeing this status when materials are not available full text online, and we would like the availability status to better indicate that full text is available. It would be great if the default display could be changed to "Available online" for these materials or if we had the ability to modify the display only for webhooks.

Permit creation of a stable URL that would lead to a simple search with all records limited by any facets, e.g., location.
We'd like to create stable links to entire collections for use on our website, guides and course shells. For example, a link that leads to all records with a given location.
This is currently possible for Advanced Search with a pre-filter. But users are distracted by Advanced Search's space and complexity, which pushes the results down the page. And if there are multiple languages or material types, the pre-filters would be overly restrictive.

Give customers the option to have a custom multilingual file for synonyms and compound words.
We are a multilingual network, catering to four languages. It is very important to us to ensure that customers find the same resources regardless of the UI language they use. As one of our UI languages does not have a synonyms file, it is currently not possible for us to incorporate synonyms beyond those included by default in our Primo, as this would lead to differing search results for this language. We would like this to be solved by allowing customers to use a dedicated multilingual file for synonyms, compound words etc. that they can customize to their needs.
