  1. Customise Purchase Request form by material type

    We are setting up our different forms, and one thing that I would love to see for the Purchase Request form in future is the ability to restrict which material types are able to be requested, and also to add a different material type as a radio button.

    In our form, we don't want patrons to be able to request to purchase journals, but we would like to have the option for them to select DVD (or just AV items as a general category) instead.

  2. Allow A-Z facet to have both title and alternative title

    Use case: Users will look for databases and journals by the name they know, which often doesn't match the official title in the 245 field. We would like the ability to add more than one entry to the atoz facet so that users can find items by both the title and alternative title.

    Example:
    245 Education Database - under E
    246 Proquest Education Database - under P

    This would improve the user experience and findability for our subscription resources.

  3. Static URL for Pay Fines link

    The Pay Fines link in the User Account/Library Card interface should allow for a static URL link instead of including the JWT information at the end of the URL.

  4. Pin to the result last viewed in Primo after closing the item record

    The current Primo design returns the user to a random earlier page, not necessarily to the same record, after clicking on a search result to open up the item record. So currently, after viewing result no. 24, and closing it, it could return you to result 11 in the Primo search results page.

  5. Suppress ellipsis in journals holdings summary

    When journals holdings are displayed in Primo VE, if the holding record has the field 866 (configured in Discovery> Holdings Display Configuration), is shown three points (ellipsis) that lead the user to think that we are still receiving issues but really the journal is not open. this.
    Example: https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886043803706 https://www.screencast.com/t/sIu1QtKv0

    However, when the holdings record does not have this 866 field, it does not display the three dots.
    Example https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886281903706 https://www.screencast.com/t/NUcSikfAK

    We believe that these three points should disappear since with the link "See more" the user can see the additional information corresponding to field 866) and not show ...…

  6. Show printed holdings in brief display when both printed and electronic exist

    When having articles with both printed and electronic holdings the printed holdings doesn't get displayed in Brief Display until you click to the Full Display. If you then return to Brief Display you will see the printed holdings. Look at screencast: https://www.screencast.com/t/6v3E0HBQ The printed holdings should be displayed directly in Brief Display without having to click to full display.

  7. Primo VE be able to get information from AVA and INT holding fields

    Currently, Primo VE's normalization rules can only use information from bibliographic records, so it is not possible to obtain and process information from holdings. The classic version of Primo can get this information from the AVA and INT holdings fields but Primo VE can not perform this task.

  8. Differenciate display of GetItOther depending on search scope slot

    We're in a consortium, with the search scope slots
    - IZ
    - NZ + CDI

    In both search scope slots we want to display the call numbers of all consortium libraries in the full title display.

    It is possible to collapse the call numbers from outside our IZ:
    https://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/i-share/discovery-interface/custom_package_collapsegetitother

    But we'd like to differenciate:
    - collapsed in search scope slot IZ
    - open in search scope slot NZ + CDI

  9. Browse shelf only to display electronic material

    Nowadays, browse Shelf Configuration dialog box, can be configurated with one of the following options:
    - Browse Bibliographic Headings – if you want to display both physical and electronic material in Browse Shelf.
    - Browse Shelf Listing – if you want to display physical items only in Browse Shelf. This is the default option.

    I ask for a new option to display only electronic material, this is useful for those libraries that not use a standard classification system being that the physical browse shelf is a disaster.

  10. Incluir Miniaturas portadas Primo

    Para mejorar la experiencia para los usuarios , se hace necesario que Primo rescate la mayor parte de las miniaturas de las portadas. De acuerdo a los señalado por la linea de soporte de Primo, este usa el primer ISBN y si dicho ISBN no trae en la metadata de Json el enlace del thumbnail_url, no lo coloca.
    Sería beneficioso para el sistema y para los usuarios que se desarrollara este requerimiento

  11. Allow boosting IZ records when displaying FRBR groups

    As a member of a consortium, we would like to see our local records displayed first while looking at FRBR groups.

    The current sorting and prioritization methods do not help with achieving this.

  13. Add permalinks to Resource Sharing Form

    When a user submits a RS request for an item in Primo, it would be helpful to have a permalink as part of that form. There is a "Source" field, but that isn't helpful in tracking down the original record the user was on. If the metadata in the request doesn't parse into the form correctly (which it sometimes doesn't for less common material types) and the user failed to add more detail, it would be helpful to have the permalink.

  14. Primo VE: Approve/Reject user created tags before adding to display

    We want to enable user created tags in Primo VE, however, we need the ability to screen tags BEFORE they get displayed. Currently, tags are on display as soon as they are added.

    Ideally, users would "Suggest a Tag" which is initially in a 'hidden' status. At the Manage Tags screen, there would be a checkbox or toggle switch to Approve or Reject each tag.

  16. Primo VE's paganation feature choises also to the top of results

    Primo VE's new pagination feature's options to change to another page should be added also to the top of results. Or maybe the choise could be floating at the bottom of the page, visible all the time.
    Now if you have chosen 50 results per page the choises are pretty long way down.

  17. Provide Toggle Checkbox When Including Results with No Full-Text

    Please provide a toggle checkbox when the setting is configured to include results with no full-text. We would like to present all results by default and then let a person remove unwanted results (i.e., results with no full text).

    The current setup is the reverse and is contrary to the idea of filtering. People use filters to narrow their search results, not expand them.

    Also, I know there is a Full-Text Online facet, but this only appears after you select a resource type facet. Therefore, this method is not convenient to achieve the same thing.

    Thanks,
    Blake

  18. "Guide Me" in Primo

    I would like to suggest to add “Guide Me” also in Primo for library users, as it exists already in Alma for library staff.
    Most of the libraries would like to have some guides for Primo users about different useful functions. The built-in option of “Guide Me” that the user will receive during his search in Primo can be very useful. This “Guide Me” can be Generic (written by Ex Libris) and include an edit option which will allow the Librarian to edit it.
    Examples where it can be relevant: 1. Expand these results. 2. Advanced search. 3. Related articles…

  19. Add expand search (outside Imperial) into advanced search

    User Story - When staff and users are creating an advanced search. Sometimes they want to search with an expanded search (outside Imperial). However, currently staff have to run the advanced search then click on expand search (outside Imperial). Solution: It would be better if expand search is added to Advanced search as an option.

  20. Add new criterion to Suppress Dedup/FRBR Rules

    For Primo VE, please add the Creator/Author as a criterion to set up a Suppress Dedup/FRBR Rule.
    Now record with same title, same date and same publisher, but with different Author are deduplicated, although they are totaly different works.
    Please fix it.
