Email results in new interface - records too long and not currently configurable
With the new UI, the emailing function appears to have been altered from a minimised style that we have in the classic primo to a very full view in the new one.
- in the Classic UI, indeed, the different formats have been used when user was sending results by email: (a) sending from Brief View or Full View creates a long version of formatted content (b) sending from eShelf creates a brief list of formatted content
However, in both cases, there is no configuration available as to define which fields should be part of the format, this is currently hardcoded in the Primo application.
- in the New UI, there is only one format supported and shared by all emailing functions, which is a long version (full view) of formatted content
Please allow a simpler format in the New UI or enable the email style to be configurable
Thank you for this suggestion. The ability to customize the email is available now in Primo November release and planned for Primo VE in February 2020 release.
Please read more on the options to customize in “Improved Email Template for Send To Email Action”

Would be great if we could have an XSL file to configure the format of the letter -- in the same way as we have in Alma.

Please also allow the email to be customised by font and to insert the institution logo like Alma letters.
