Add fields for Name and email address to the Action>Email option
Our students have started using the Action>Email option which is available when displaying a record in Primo to ask questions about that title/item.
Unfortunately they don't realise that their Name/email address isn't being included and so we are receiving messages to our library email from Primo asking us to help without details of the patron!
If you could add fields for Name and email address to the Action>Email form that would resolve the issue.

Option to extend Held Shelf Expiry Date
We would like the option, within My Account for the user to be able extend the Held Shelf expiry date of their requests. They would click on a button and, if no-one had already requested their item the system would automatically extend the Held shelf expiry date (it could do this by an agreed period - for example 2 days and if, required an email could be sent to Library Requests staff to alert them)

Persistent "Number of results to display" setting
As a user, I would like the "Number of results to display" setting in the "My Account" area to be persistent for my user account.
Currently, this setting is dependent on a browser cookie and/or system cache. As a security measure, many users clear caches and cookies when they close their browser. This results in the setting reverting to a default value when they next log in to Primo.
Having this setting directly associated with a user's Primo account would provide a more consistent user experience.

Add a pre-filter for Peer-reviewed Journals
Our students would like the option to pre-filter their searches to articles published in Peer-reviewed journals. The current Primo configuration only allows this filter as a refining facet after searching.

Display "Sign in to check request options" message/link on a higher level
Display the "Sign in to check request options" message/link on a higher level than for each location? That would make it much more visible for customers, instead of having to click on individual locations drop down links.

Combine permalinks with citations in Primo
In Primo, the ability to copy citations is very useful, as is the ability to copy permalinks for individual records. When helping a patron via virtual reference (chat or email), it is cumbersome to, first, open and copy the citation, and second, open copy the permalink. It would make more sense to either hyperlink the citation with a stable link, or include the permalink after the citation in the same window.

Enable Full Text Searching
Enable full text searching for all searches as opposed to only as an enhanced search when results are low. This is especially confusing for when the same search can return less results after a user logs in.
