Add the "Public note" of the item to the PNX record
The content of the item field "Public note" will not be published to Primo. We want to index the public note in Primo but the field is not transferred to the PNX record.

In general the restriction to BIB and HOL data in Alma publishing is very displeasing. At Vienna University Library we have troubles in several fields to reach the status of services and the range of functions from before going live with Alma (coming from an Aleph system). Especially regarding deep links we miss the opportunity to use fields of the item records in the course of normalization. Therefor e.g. we had to find a rather complex workaround to build the new acquisitions lists on sublibrary level by writing the inventory date of the item into the respective holdings record based on a daily Analytics report.
Thus to only call for the content of the "public note" field of the items is by far not enough and is only part of the wishlist. We suggest to let Alma users decide which item fields (alternative call number, description, inventory date etc.) they need for Primo and to make it configurable which item fields to include into the Alma publishing process.
There is already another idea which is due to be implemented:

There my colleague Christian already remarked in a comment that we also need fields like item description.
