Separate the success message labels for resource sharing requests and hold requests
Currently, both resource sharing requests and hold requests use the same label, nui.request.success, after a request has been successfully submitted. As a result, the same message is displayed for both types of requests.
We would like to have a separate success message label for resource sharing requests, distinct from the one used for hold requests. This would allow us to display different messages for the two types of requests and provide patrons with specific reminders or instructions regarding each service.

Support searching by index in Collection Discovery
In Collection Discovery, users can sort items by Relevance, Date-newest, Date-oldest, Title, and Author, but they are unable to search by these indexes. This affects the user's ability to retrieve specific and known-items in a precise way. The existing "search" option functions based purely on keyword across all data fields (including full text).
Users need access to specific index searching for full use of Collection Discovery, especially the Title index.

NDE - Configuration option for whether a search is invoked on changing scope
Currently, if there is text in the search input field and you make a selection in the scope drop-down, a search is invoked automatically (without the user selecting the search button).
This even occurs on the Library Search home page (when no search has yet been performed).
There is no indication to users that a search will be triggered after changing their selection in that drop-down.
Compare this behaviour to the 'Browse' search, which has a drop-down for the search field - users can change that value as needed yet a new search will only be performed when they select…

Freeze the top level resource type filters on NDE so they continue to appear as the user scrolls through their search results
Currently on NDE the top level availability facets are fixed in place even when a user scrolls down their results list, however the resource type facets above these disappear from view when the user scrolls down the page. We would suggest also keeping these fixed in place and visible to the user as they scroll so they have a constant quick visual reminder of what they have filtered to.

NDE My Account Loans: Option to show more than 10
In the previous UI for VE, users were able to load more of their loans when viewing their account. This list could then exported. In the NDE users are limited to viewing 10 loans at a time, thus they can only export 10 at a time. Either the loans list should be updated to allow the user to increase the number of loans viewable at a time (up to 50, similar to search results), or have an option to generate a list of loans either in the browser or as an export.

Confusing screen navigation for digital file in Primo NDE
Hi,
For a digital file, e.g.
https://julac-cuhk.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/852JULAC_CUHK/ljhnov/alma991040538347003407When clicking Online access, it jumps down to Digital Versions section. When clicking the digital viewer icon, it jumps up to Digital Content section. Screen navigation is very confusing.
It is more natural that when clicking the digital viewer icon, the digital file (Digital Content section) can be shown below it, or somewhere related. But it is not possible to move the Digital Content section position at all.
Please see attachment for details.
Thanks,
Howard

Hi,
For a digital record in NDE, after expanding "Digital Content", it show a Copyright statement. User can tick the checkbox and click Confirm without scrolling the Copyright statement.
Is it possible to force the user to scroll down to the end of the Copyright statement before the user can tick the checkbox?
Example record:

Independent Profile Slots/Scopes Configuration for Basic and Advanced Search
This option would be interesting for libraries that prefer a simple home interface and want to reserve more advanced search options for advanced search. In our case, we like the profile option that allows customization of the filters displayed in the results, but we've ruled it out if it complicates the initial search interface (we prefer something simple, with a single search field and no additional options, like Google Search).
We would like to suggest this functionality to the ExLibris developers for inclusion in future versions.

Primo VE - Linked open data person entity - option to display additional authority record fields
We contribute to the Library of Congress Names Authority and add associated group fields (MARC 373) with iwi affiliations for Māori authors and creators. Currently this field is not displayed in Person entity cards. Could this and other authority data be made configurable for display?

NDE landing page labels
With the new Landing Page configuration, it is now possible to customize the NDE starting page.
Under Discovery Configuration > View Configuration > Landing Page > Links, it is possible to configure the labels for the Links section. However, other Landing Page labels are managed at IZ level under Discovery Configuration > Labels > Landing Page Labels.
For consortia or institutions with multiple views, this creates a limitation: labels that are not part of the Links section cannot be customized per local view in the configuration menu, but only by creating view level labels in the code table. As a…
