Filter collections (in Primo) to show 'online' or 'physical' items
Currently, when you click into a collection on Primo, there are a few sorting options (relevance, date, title, author), but it would be useful to let users see only 'online' items or only 'physical' items (libraries with more than one site may want to let users see physical items at particular sites).

Option to bulk export normalization rules Primo VE
We would like to make a bulk export for backup of the normalization rules that we have set up in Primo VE.
At the moment this functionality does not exist but would be very helpful for us. At the moment if we make changes to the normalization rules it is easy to accidentally delete the entire set of rules for one field. It is also not possible to easily roll back a change that we made.
Therefore it would be useful to have the export option, to have an extra copy of all the normalization rules as a backup.

Add option to control the visibility of collections in Primo and Collections Lobby
Give customers the option to control the visibility of individual collections in Primo and on the Collections Lobby page.
Use case: Our institution would like to have a limited number of centrally curated and managed collections that can be viewed in the Collections Lobby. But we would also like to give librarians the option to create their own collections for special projects, exhibits, or courses, which would not be displayed in the Lobby but could still be made accessible via direct link. Ideally, this could be achieved by adding checkboxes to the Collection Editor page - one controlling the collection's…

Pre-populate the address fields when personal delivery options are selected in an item request from Primo VE
In the November 2023 release it is now possible for patrons to update their registered home or office address (or other personal delivery address) while requesting personal delivery in Primo VE. When the patron selects one of the addresses for pickup in the request form all the address information is blank in Primo VE even when that field type is populated in Alma. This means the patron will think they have to fill out the pickup location information for every request. It would be more efficient to populate the request form with the patron’s pickup location address information if it…

Configuration Option to view all links available in Primo VE (both direct and link resolver)
Please give us an option to display all links (both direct and link resolver) for all possible links in Primo VE. I have checked the "Display All Links in Full Display for CDI" which gives the direct link first, then students have to click "Show More" dropdown for subscribed content links. It would be preferable to have all available links display without students having to click the dropdown. And also, the subscribed links usually have coverage dates included so quicker for students as well.

Improve the date/year filter selection
The existing "arrow" option for date/year filter selection in Primo VE is problematic for users, resulting in "rage clicks" as they try to select the required date range.
Can alternative configuration options be provided so we can control how the date/year filtering displays?
For example options to display a calendar or date range slider or manual data entry to adjust the years.

Ability to copy and paste the results from a browse search
As a librarian, I would like to be able to copy and paste the results from a browse search into Wordpad or Word so that I could then use those results to create a list of hyperlinked subject headings for a library guide. It appears as though this inability to copy and paste applies to all of the “Browse” options (see attached).

Add Course Reserve Public Notes to Primo VE record details display
A proscribed set of Course Information can be displayed in the Primo VE record details, but there is no way to add other notes or information related to course reserve in Primo VE, as there is in Leganto. There is a Public Notes field in Alma's Reading List > Citation > Citation Parameters settings, but this note can only be displayed in Leganto. If the Public Note could be made available for display in the Primo VE record as well it could be used in conjunction with the Course Information display to provide important information to end users -- for…

Number of items excluding EBSCO would be shown in PCI facet
When I set a mixed search of Primo PCI and EBSCO API on Primo VE, facet doesn't display number of items of each facet and the sort of facet is out of control. I have heard that this is due to the specification of the EBSCO API. I think that if it is impossible to show the number of EBSCO results, as a second solution, only the number of PCI results, excluding EBSCO, should be displayed.

Primo VE: Availability of print inventory with multiple holdings
In Primo VE, when availability is calculated for print inventory with holdings in multiple libraries, please show the library with the most items first.
For example if there are 25 items in the Main Library and 3 items in the Law Library, Primo should display “Available at Main Library… and other locations”.
Primo should not display “Available at Law Library… and other locations.”Thank you.
