Restrict display of digital collections by campus in views
In the same way that you can allow/disallow the display of electronic resources like ebooks in a specific view in Primo VE based on the campus of the view.
You should be able to restrict the display of specific digital items and collections.
For example if I want to make a digitial collection of database entries for my users, but I want to mark some databases as being only available/visible to a specific campus, then they shouldn't show in other views.

Collection discovery - sub collection searches
We welcome the enhanced searching on the top level of collection discovery however we have found we also need full searching over our nested sub collections. This is not only useful for users of PrimoVE but also for local data scopes as we require them to accurately include sub collections in search profiles.

Support of CRediT - the Contributors Role Taxonomy within the article and local indexes
120 journals are now fully supporting this NISO standard (NISO Z39.104-2022) for authorship and roles (https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/credit). We believe this emerging standard will allow additional search functionality for authors who have played different roles within the construction of the scholarly article. Over 50 publishers have adopted this taxonomy across their publications (Elsevier, etc.)

Improved Support of multilingual elements for external data sources in Primo VE
For Dublin Core and Generic XML records that contain multilingual content, Primo VE should display the values of the associated fields according to the user's language when the language code is available as an attribute in the Dublin Core elements.
For instance:
<dc:subject xml:lang="fre">Phonotèque/dc:subject <dc:subject xml:lang="ita">Fonoteca/dc:subject8 votes -
Primo does not work with some date formats used for old material and rare books.
Primo does not work with some date formats used for old material and rare books. The biggest problem is that Primo only recognises 4-digit dates and does not accommodate date searches for pre-1000 dates that have 3 digits or less. This issue greatly inhibits searches for a significant number of users of archives and rare material collections.
Primo also does not work well with dates in square brackets that include text and unknown dates that have a question mark or dash instead of the wildcard character ‘u’ - e.g. [i.e. 1973], [between 1772 and 1802?], 195? or 195-. These are…

Calculated availability for non-full text records in digital imports from repositories
In Primo VE, institution repositories are limited to one label. For example, a link to the full online resource or a link to the physical resource are both labelled as ‘Full Text Available’.
This is a problem, as not all repositories are the full text, some repositories may just be an abstract.
Primo's label options are better, it is clearer to the user by the various different labels, for example ‘Full text available’ or ‘No full text’.
We would like Primo VE to have the various different labels, like Primo.

Extend the limit on the Summary Holdings Display to more than 10 holdings.
If a title is held at more than 10 locations, its holdings summary will not appear on the Locations page—however, the more locations, the higher demand for checking the range of the coverage. Therefore, please display all summary holdings regardless of the number of holdings.

Increase security for option to delete a view in Primo VE
Right now it is all too easy to delete a Primo VE view. If the option to delete a view is accidentally clicked on the drop down menu, a confirmation message appears with the "confirm" option highlighted. A confused user might click enter to get rid of the message without reading the message. This happened to us recently. A user who selects the delete option should have to type in the view code to confirm deletion. This extra step would help to prevent accidental deletion.

Provide a link to a help page for Unpaywall links in Primo VE
We are using the Unpaywall Quicklink to display open access links in our search results in Primo VE. The links themselves show that they are provided by the Unpaywall API, but we think that most users are not familiar with this service's name and functionality, so we would like to be able to provide more information to them. For example we would like to provide a link to a help page explaining what Unpaywall is and how it works.
Using JS customization, we have tried to add a link to a under the Unpaywall link, but the scope in which…12 votes -
The possibility to change the order of values in the top-level facet
Several institutions of the eLABa consortium (https://www.elaba.lt/elaba-portal/en) would like to change the order of values in the top-level facet "Availability" (facet_tlevel) as they please. For example:
1. Available in the Library
2. Full Text Online
3. Peer-reviewed Journals
4. Open Access
5. Cited Articles

Allow patrons to order a specific item in a fulfillment network
Hi
We are in a consortium with a fulfillment network.
Which in many cases means that the patrons can not pick which copy of a book they want to order.
While this may make sense as the default (1), it is frustrating for many patrons, myself included.
- When more than one copy is available, I want to be able to decide which one to get
- When a book is on loan I may prefer to wait for the copy of my favorite library to come back instead of getting the book from somewhere else
This is especially relevant when I'm…

Filter collections (in Primo) to show 'online' or 'physical' items
Currently, when you click into a collection on Primo, there are a few sorting options (relevance, date, title, author), but it would be useful to let users see only 'online' items or only 'physical' items (libraries with more than one site may want to let users see physical items at particular sites).

TOU should be hidden when users Not logged in.
In Primo VE, when a user is logged in, the TOU according to the user's category is displayed. However, when the user is not logged in, the TOU could be displayed as "Loanable" even if the book is loanable only to faculty members. When the user is not logged in, the TOU should be hidden.

Ability to collapse elements in full title display per view and per search scope slot
Please add the ability to collapse elements in full title display
- per view
- per search scope slotWe are in a consortium, and some information in the full title display is confusing for our patrons and we have no way to hide it.
We would like a setting to collapse each element of the full title display separately. This setting needs to be configurable per view and within the view per search scope slot.
Example:
We have the search scope slots
- our IZ
- NZ & CDISection 'Other loan and request options' should be collapsed in…

Allow the available figure for Physical items to be configured
The available figure in Primo for Physical items includes all items which are not on loan. We want to be able to exclude items with certain item policies or item locations from this figure.
These items will still be displayed within Primo but will not be included in the available count.3 votes
