Analytics - Ability take indicators and subfields into account when adding local (hol) parameters
At the moment it is not possible to take indicators and subfields into account when asking Ex Libris to add local (hol) parameters for Analytics.
That's very unfortunate as it can lead to an extremely cluttered output for the field that makes it impossible to use.
As "normal" bibliographic fields however are filtered by subfields we'd like ExL to make this possible for the local parameters, too.
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting this idea.
I'm happy to announce it has been implemented as part of the February 2026 Alma release.
Refer to the Alma release notes for more information.
Best,
Alma Product

I support the idea to define indicators and subfields for local (bib) parameters as well.

Since indicators can drastically change the meaning of a field, it is essential that they can be used for filtering in Analytics.
