To add the "primary identifier" to the export list of the user set
We would like to add the "primary identifier" to the export list of the user set.
We will use the excel file with "primary identifier" to establish the User set, but not all the primary identifier can be loaded into the user set. So
We would like to add the "primary identifier" to the export list of the user set in order that we could know which primary identifier can not be loaded into the User set.
It is now possible to include primary identifiers as part of the exported list when using Alma's Export option from the user list. An Extended Export option will generate an Excel file similar to the existing "all fields" export, adding the primary ID as a column.
for more information please see Alma January RN

Hello all
There is a workaround to do this manually (see attached screenshot). In our case, the e-mail address was defined as the primary identifier, so we could filter by wildcard:
Primary Identifier equals *@your-domain.com
Might be helpful to generate lists for users who are already grouped by some specific criteria.
Best regards
Sam

Hi Moshe,
any update on the development plan? Is there any chance to include it in the 2021 roadmap?
Thanks,

With the advanced search option on users, it's so easy to create sets for monitoring or running jobs in Alma.
But, sometimes it's useful to export the user set to work on in excel or in analytics. For that purpose, it's necessary to have a easy way of identifying the users.
Could we please have the option to have the PID exported or any other unique identifier (barcode or University ID)? Then it's easy to create a set in analytics by filtering by the listed ID's.
Thank you. -
