Option to highlight active tabs in Primo top pane
We would like the option to highlight active tabs in the Primo top pane. At present, it is not clear which tab is in use. Highlighting of active tabs supports navigation and improves user experience, but there is currently no easy way to implement this. Including an option to do so, for example via CSS, would be helpful.

Hi
Please allow HTML coding for all labels.
Including URLs via a href when the label isn't used as a link already.This is working for a few labels, but far from all.

Make it easier to re-order Primo display details in Full Record Services
When configuring the order of "details" fields in Configuration -> Discovery -> Configure Views: [View Profile] -> Full Record Services: Details, Alma users are only able to re-order fields by moving them up or down one table entry at a time. Anytime you add a new field, it's added to the end of the list by default. In our case, we have almost 50 different display fields, and if we want that new field to appear near the top of the list, we have to scroll down and click the Up arrow for that field 50 times to bring it…

Collection Discovery: allow searching subcollections' contents at the collection level
Currently, when a user searches in a collection, Primo only returns objects that are directly located under this collection, ignoring any contents located in subcollections. This means that the user needs to open each subcollection and do the search again to discover all objects included in the collection. This is cumbersome and counter-intuitive. We would like that the search results also include objects and subcollections located at lower levels in the hierarchy.

search box on all pages
Search box should be on all pages (including the records pages) in Primo - so you don’t have to go back to the main search screen

Library Card page
I think it would more user-focused if the "Library Card" dashboard listed all of the requests and loans in one spot, regardless of the lending library. Many users are unaware of which library they've requested an item through - it would be nice if there was only one dashboard for patrons to check on the status of everything in one spot.

Add very compact display option, 1 row per title
Please add a really compact additional display option
– 1 row per title
– no iconto allow an overview / quick scanning of long result lists.
When I do a search on my laptop, I see two titles on the result list and the start of a third.
Default number of results for the compact display should be 100 or more.
And it should be a setting in the patron account.

Move the Sort by options to top of results
We would like the Sort by option to be at the top of screen, for consistency with other databases. Users are used to seeing Sorting options at the top of the page. These options are hard to locate within the other filtering options in the panel to the left/right of the Primo results.

Visually Indicate Boolean AND Grouping of Facets
This is in reaction to a discussion on the mailing list ("[Primo] facets - issue with selecting one-by-one vs. multiple") and to have an idea for the other option (in contrast to [0]) to resolve the dilemma described there:
Instead of changing the system behavior it would be good to indicate what is happening. In general it makes sense that after selecting one facet, looking at the results and deciding to add another facet that the boolean connection of these two facets will be "AND", while selecting some facets in one go is likely intended to be an "OR".

Add facets into the Collection Discovery UI
While we are really happy that the functionality to search withing collections is planned, we propose to implement the facets also for the Collection Discovery.
Facets are very useful to limit results in big collections for discovery and browsing, when the user doesn't know exactly what he is looking for. We do have several big collections.
Also, functionality would be more consistent with the Primo Search interface.318 votesHello,

Provide option to collapse the Details area of the full record display
We would like to be able to collapse the Details area of the full record display by default in order to reduce clutter. This ability would be configurable ie libraries could choose whether to hide or show by default the Details information.
If configured, we would like to see the heading 'Details' beside a chevron or similar icon that indicates information is hidden. When the user clicks on this icon, the full bibliographic details will appear.

Separate language menu
In August release 2018, there is finally a good improvement in the sign in area, but unfortunately the language selection is now inside a personal menu. If guests user enters Primo which by default is not in his native language, they wouldn't know what to do. There is a nice solution created by Manneheim University, and I hope Exlibris will take it as an example:

Move Peer Reviewed into it's own facet group
The Peer Reviewed facet is currently grouped in the Availability facet group. It has nothing to do with Availability or the other things in the Availability facet group. Not seeing another facet group that makes sense, Peer Reviewed should be in it's own facet group. This will make more sense to the user, allow more flexibility in controlling the placement and the look and feel of these individual facets.

Primo New UI : Allow OTB ordering of full record display sections
The New UI does not allow libraries to easily configure the order of the sections in the full record display.
We would like an Out of the Box solution to re-order the full record display.For example: We would like to move the ViewIt section to the top, and move the Actions sections to sit after the Details section.
