"view in discovery" - a link with flaws
The "view in discovery" function produces only a rudimentary link structure, which is not identical to the link structure produced by a call by end users accessing a portfolio directly in PrimoVE.
Thus, the "view in discovery" function, which is designed to verify the presentation of portfolios in PrimoVE that are administered in Alma, is currently of limited use because administrators cannot assume that the view produced by this function actually corresponds to the view encountered by end users.
For adequate quality assurance, it would be necessary if administrators could freely customize the link structure of the "view in discovery" function.

In our network, we are using Inventory Management Groups in combination with views affiliated with libraries/campuses. Adding the possibility to choose which view to use for "view in discovery" button, would help a lot with testing of e-resource display in Primo VE. Especially, for IZs using this configuration.
