Ability to sort/filter according to item status within the new user interface
When viewing holdings of a physical record in the full record display of the new Primo UI only five items/copies display by default. If a client would like to view all copies they have to click the "Show more items" link. We have received feedback that clients often do not use or even see the “Show more items” link and tend to only look at the status of the five copies that are displayed by default rather then click through to view all copies. This becomes problematic when all five copies that display on the full record by default are unavailable but copies further down the list (and therefore behind the “Show more items” link) are available.
The display order of item records in Primo is the same order in which they appear on the Alma record. Although we can sort them within Alma according to Library/Location and an alpha sort, from a user perspective it would be helpful if they had the ability to apply a filter/sort to the holdings information in the full record display which filtered or sorted items according to their status/process type. This will allow users to quickly view available items when needed without the need to view all copies and scan through unavailable holdings.
The display order of these item records in Primo is the same order in which they appear in the Alma record. From a user perspective rather then having to look through the attached item records it would be handy the user had the ability to sort/filter items according to the status of the itemwith available items displaying first in the list, then on loan items, then items with other statuses such as missing/lost etc
