Include Citation type as a configurable field in Purchase request form
When a purchase request is made from Primo selected in Citation type: Book, the order line that is created is of type Physical-One time, and cannot be modified.
It would be nice to modify this default configuration.

Enhance possibility to show information out of linked authority records
Introduce new Authority Info Card based on Linked Data URI. Utilize Linked Data URIs to present new Information Card in various displays (search results list, brief & full display). Enrich the display with more information on linked entities and related resources made available thanks to the URI. This functionality should be provided for all authority sources available in the Community Zone that offer linked data URIs such as GND, Rameau, etc.

in Primo VE, currently only 5 CDI resource types can be selected, so we want to change the system that unnecessary resource types can be excluded.■Context
Regarding "Exclude eBooks from CDI Results - Phase 2 (NERS #6702)", In Phase 1, all books were excluded from search, but after Phase 2, some books remain in the search results.To exclude books for this reasons,we would like to set the "Specialized Search Scopes for CDI" with limited number of CDI resource types.

Usage of the pre-filter options within Primo VE
At the OU, we are interested in seeing the usage of the pre-filter options within Primo VE. While the 'basic search with pre-filter' option is counted, the individual pre-filter options are not. We need this data to better understand our user behaviour in order to make improvements to our service. We also want to see the usage of pre-filters to help us decide whether to go live with the new pre-filter options.

Preference of links from link resolver over link in record in brief results for merged records
When one or more of the records in a merged group is coming from a collection using the link resolver, and other records are coming from collections using the link in the record, the link in record type of link is always displayed in the brief result list. It should be possible to choose to always display a link resolver type of link instead.

Add editing functionality to labels/tags created in My Favorites
Currently, there is no way to edit a label created in My Favorites to organize items you have saved/Pinned to My Favorites. It would be helpful to be able to edit typos or make adjustments to the label as needed, without have to reassign items.

Make collection and subcollection names discoverable in the Collections lobby.
Make collection and subcollection names discoverable in the Collections lobby. Currently, collection names and subcollection names are discoverable in Primo VE, but not discoverable in the Collections lobby.
Example:
We have a collection called: "Daher Folk Tales". It is discoverable in Primo VE:
but not in the Collections lobby:
We would like all collections and subcollections to be discoverable by name in the Collections lobby, because we will soon have a long list of collections on the lobby page, and many, many levels of subcollections. This enchancement would nake it easier for users to find the right subcollection,…

Currently grid items in Collection Discovery can show title, resource type and thumbnail. We would like to add creator/author and or creation/publication date if possible. My suggestion is to add configuration for changing what is displayed in the item grid elements in Collection Discovery.

Create search alerts for results obtained from selecting a "view sources citing this" link from an original article
Our users would like to be able to track when new citations are added to a list of sources derived from the "view sources citing this" feature.
They suggest this could be done by creating a search alert to advise them of the changes.

Feedback Tool for Primo VE - ability to disable categories
For the Primo VE Feedback Tool, we would like to have the ability to disable the email form so that we can link instead to our existing form and chat service from the report.generalText bubble. Basically, we would have zero categories/issue types configured so that the email options would not be presented to the user. The user would only see the report.generalText bubble (see edited screenshot attached).

Make the Blank Request Form Customizable Based on User Group
Make the Blank Request Form customizable based on which user group is logging in to use it.
We are switching to using the Blank Request Form for resource sharing, however as a library that serves a university, college and community we would like to be able to customize which fields patrons see based on their user group.
Our university students have the option of picking up items at any of our consortium partner schools. The college and community members do not have this option. However there is no way to prevent them from seeing the pick up anywhere option on…

Bulk search results export
In a recent user survey, students provided feedback they would like the ability to export all or a large number of their search results. Currently they are limited to a maximum of 50 results at a time. Users reported they had worked to create a search strategy and were disappointed they could not obtain a full list of their search results, and were forced to move to searching individual databases instead.

Make the Resource Recommender Banner fit the length of the resource description
The banner description text is truncated in the first line, making the display of the description dependent on its length and even shorter when viewed on mobile devices. It would be great if the height of the banner would auto-adjust to show all the text.
I attach images showing this (banner.png) and how we would like it to be displayed (banner_modified.png).
Thanks

Link generic checkbox in purchase request form to hold item function
We are using the purchase request form in PrimoVE. Is there a way to link the generic checkbox to the hold item function in the associated po line? So the hold item checkbox in the associated PO line is activated when the user checks the generic checkbox in the purchase request form? This would make it easier for us to manage purchase requests.

Translate coverage and licence labels for NZ full text services in IZ views
PrimoVEs in our network use 4 languages for the user interface - English, German, French and Italian.
Consortial and Open Access e-resources are activated in the Network Zone for all the IZs.
When viewing Full-text services from NZ in the detailed view in IZs, the coverage and license labels are not translated to the language of the user UI.
The absence of translation creates discrepancy for our users. The IZ FT services' labels are translated but the NZ services are always in English.104 votes
