Configure fields included in Course Information
We would like to be able to modify the default configuration of Course Information field displayed in the details view of the full record in Primo VE, adding to or deleting the default elements (Course ID, Department Name, Course Instructor Name) or changing their order. For example, an institution may want to include only Course ID and Instructor Name but not Department Name here. This is not currently possible.
156 votesHi,
This is to update that this issue is still not planned to be developed in the current road map. We will continue to evaluate it for a future release.
Therefore we are keeping this under "Under review" status.
Best regards,
Yael.

Enable renewal of interlibrary loans via My Library Account
It is confusing to users that they can renew some items on loan to them via My Library Account, but not inter-library loans. We would like a configurable Renew option available for inter-library loans in My Library Account. If a user clicked this option, the request for renewal from the user would populate a tasklist in Alma for resource sharing staff to action. If staff proceed to request a renewal from the lending partner, the workflow should connect so that the response and the updated due date flows back through to My Library Account. Currently all renewal requests for interlibrary…

Changing the language in Primo should also update the preferred language in Alma
We have a mix of users with different languages at our university, but we cannot get a reliable language setting from the SIS feed. Therefore it is important that the users can edit the language preference themself to get letters from the library in the correct language.
Today, changing the language in Primo only changes the interface language in Primo, but we would like it to also update the preferred language in Alma.

Primo Analytics - add the ability to monitor availability link clicks by availability category
Currently usage statistics may be generated using the "Click on availability statement" Analytics action, however there is no way to differentiate clicks on say, "Available at" (for physical resources) and "Check online access".
We would like the ability to extract availability clicks by category:
Check online access
Available at
No full text
etc.General use cases:
To help us decide what types of links should display where and in what order in Primo.
More specific use case:
To help us understand how patrons are accessing electronic resources. For instance, we have added the BrowZine PDF fulltext link to Primo. We…

Different identification system depending on the view
In our university we have a pending important problem to solve:
- In order to solve some Primo cases in which the user has to be identified, Exlibris technicians ask us for credentials to be able to analyze and solve the cases but logically, for security reasons, we should not give our personal credentials to anyone.
- Our user authentication is through SAML so all of our users are external in Alma.The Systems Department of our university requires that in order to create a user in the system (external to Alma), the responsibility for that account must rest with…

showPnx page as XML
In the classic UI, if you added the parameter showPnx=true, in the address bar, to the URL of a record's full display, you were able to get an XML file with the PNX version of the record. In the NUI, on the contrary, the same parameter takes you to a web page containing the PNX record in a textarea.
The XML view of the PNX record was very much easier to manage: colouring of tags, open/close section as well as you need them, etc.
Why did you change this behaviour for worse?
Could we get back the XML version of…4 votes -
Request: Please make it possible to find a match only by a title in Alma linkresolver
What I want is to make Alma link resolver find matches by a title. Now, Alma linker resolver is returning results only when ISSN/ISBN is given. And, a lot of CJK titles don't have ISSN/ISBN so that there are many occasions when a subscribed CJK portfolio without an identifier is not found in Primo service page. Unlike Alma link resolver, 360 link resolver supports title searching. This is the example of 360 link. The URL below doesn't contain ISSN information either but, it finds the correct match.
360 Link resolver:
http://kg6wg8ak8z.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&aulast=이영호&atitle=한국학 연구의 동향과'동아시아 한국학'&title=한국학연구&volume=15&date=2006&spage=9but, Alma link resolver doesn't find…

Free text input should be blocked in Resource Sharing Form
When users request items with multiple volumes in the resource sharing form (NERS Enhancement - Request ID #4856), they can select a specific volume from the pull down list, also freely input any information in the text box. Errors of manual input may lead to inefficiency or failure of handling the requests, for example, user input “1” in the text box instead of selecting “v.1” from the list, the request can be created successfully, but information of requested volume cannot be shown in Alma, neither “Borrowing Requests” of Borrowing Library nor “Pick from shelf” of Lending Library, the libraries need…

Collection Discovery display items in a list view
Currently Collection Discovery only offers users the ability to view collections as a Grid or a Gallery. These displays provide extremely limited information about the items making it impossible for users to decide which items they'd like to view.
Please add the ability for users to view collection items as a list, similar to the search results view. This list view would present each record one after the other with basic bibliographic information such as title, author/creator, resource type, date.67 votes -
Improve the browse callnumber functionality in Primo VE to include Moys callnumbers
As a Primo VE law academic or student I would like the Moys callnumbers to be browsable in Primo VE. They are a special classification suited to my subject area. This functionality was previously available.
Background
Moys call numbers are not supported in Primo VE, even though they display in the Alma Browse functionality.Primo NUI did display them correctly.
Having invested considerable resourcing in developing Moys classification for our Law collections it is frustrating that we are no longer able to browse these callnumbers.

Primo VE: Public names for Libraries and Locations
It would often be helpful if patron-facing names of libraries and locations were different from the staff-facing names in Alma, e.g., staff users may need to know exactly which of several "Closed stack" is in play, while this is irrelevant information for end users. So public names of Libraries and Locations should be editable through the Discovery Labels code table

Items with item policy "noncirculating" should not display as "loanable" in Primo VE
We have many titles that do not circulate, but because they are available on the shelf, Primo VE displays them as "loanable." This may confuse patrons into thinking that these items can be loaned, when they are not allowed to leave the library.

Restrict "Send Record via Email" to logged in users only in Primo VE
Currently anyone can send record information via the "Send Record via Email" option in the brief or full record display. This is a spam risk. Sending e-mail should be restricted to logged-in users only.

Make Primo retain search filters by default
It is currently possible to retain search filters in Primo by selecting individual ones and clicking "Make this filter persistent through this session". I believe the interface would be more user-friendly if all selected filters were retained by default, and would only be cleared if the user selected individual ones to remove or clicked the "Reset all" button.

Able to display electronic holding (coverage) statements in chronology sequence – from oldest to newest, instead of random order
We find that the autoload holding statements supplied by vendor ScienceDirect is in chronology sequence (from oldest to newest). But the display of multiple holding statements in Primo GetIT is random or not in sequence after the autoload of holding statements.
e.g. International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics.
https://julac.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1m2sapd/HKPU_IZ51203553420003411
Holding statements should be display in chronology order so that user can easily identify which year we have accessing right, instead of browsing through all the holding statements. Can it be fixed?
