Display both active (payable) AND accruing fines/fees at Fine+fees tab of a user’s account
Fines+fees tab of a user’s account does not show the balance of the accruing fines. Fines+fees tab doesn’t include the information of the loans that have accruing fines on them, and this confuses clients. They should be able to see this information easily and understand the difference between active and accruing fines.
We propose that Fine+fees tab of a user’s account should display the total amount of active and accruing balance; the active (payable) balance with the Pay button beside it and the accruing balance. We also wish that the fine type of the loans that have accruing fines would…

Allow themes to overwrite/override SASS files
One of the biggest difficulties when theming Primo VE is getting link, background, and search bar colors consistent across the different page types. Because the underlying theme uses lighter and darker variations of colors, just editing the color file isn't enough. This leaves us looking for every variation of selector using browser inspect tools, which is time consuming and very hit-or-miss.
Being able to override the SASS, even if it's only for the complete list of color and font selectors, would be extremely helpful and make theme development more clear-cut and efficient.

Add Generic Record Actions
In View Configuration > Brief Record Display > Record Actions, implement the function of adding generic icons to the Full Display.
It should be possible to add:
- An icon file
- A label
- A URL template(if possible using variables)This would decrease the amount of programming necessary to add new features and expand on the amount of information that can be added(Eventhough you can already add a lot of features)

Signed in user should be able to set their preferred search profile
We have decided to place the Library catalog search profile first in the search box as this is what most of our users need. However, some of our users find this irritating and request for the All or International articles option to be put first. This is obviously a choice that's always going to make somebody unhappy!
To get around this issue, we suggest that a signed-in user should be able to set their own preferences as to which search profile comes first in the search box.

Ability to boost newer editions as 5 publication dates does not do this job well.
Currently we have older editions showing above newer editions in Primo VE. It would be helpful to be able to boost editions by the number of the edition. Currently the date boost has only 5 possible options in Primo VE. This means you can only add 5 separate years to regulate newer editions showing above old ones. Uses date ranges doesn't work as the edition between the range get same boost. Either you need to increase the number of date boost entries or create an ability to boost by edition.

Custom location order in brief results list
Where there are multiple records for the same holding within our institution, we would like to configure the order of locations in the brief results. Patrons could then see the circulating items first, rather than non-circulating items, reducing confusion and wasted time.
This is similar to #32961133, "Ability to select which location appears first." The resulting Location Ordering Profile allows us to set a custom order within a single record, which is very helpful. But it does not solve the problem where there are multiple records.

Purchase Request - only allow certain users to put in a request if identifier finds a match on our holdings
If a purchase request finds a match on our holdings, it will warn the patron of it existing on our catalogue and provide a link to view the record, but still provide the option to submit the request afterward.
Would like it so the option to submit request can be made hidden from certain groups of users (Display Logic Rule?). i.e. Make it so Students won't be able to submit a request if it exists on our holdings, but still allow it for Staff

Allow removal of main title enlargement upon hover in Resource Recommender banner
The default (and expected) behavior of the Resource Recommender banner results in an enlargement of the text entered for the main title field. We are unable to modify this behavior via CSS, find the transition jarring, and would like to have the option of no hover effect or, at minimum, a less extreme one.

Purchase/Resource Sharing request forms - autofill details with ISBN
Would be very handy for end-users to be able to use the ISBN to autofill the details of an item on the generic Purchase request/Resource Sharing request forms.
At the moment it only autofills the details if using the request form on a Primo record (as it uses the metadata from there), or by using DOI/PMID on the Resource Sharing form.

Collection discovery display shut off independent of collection path display
We would like the ability to have a collection not display with other collections in collection discovery but yet still have the collection link available in the collection path to give a results list for students of all items in the collection.
Just a toggle on or off for collection discovery display is needed. Right now, we have to suppress the collection to avoid display, but then it removes the collection path link too.

Remove journal categories
Make it possible to remove or hide irrelevant HILCC categories from the Browse Journals by Category feature. Currently, trying to remove a category from the hierarchy leaves a gap in the visual display. Because the hierarchy has a very US-focused perspective, many of the categories are not relevant for institutions outside of the US.

Report a problem - allow users to add an attachment
When patrons are reporting a problem in Primo user interface, usually adding a screenshot is very helpful for support.
Can "Add attachment" be added to the Report a problem form?

More thumbnail source options or additional parameters needed for Primo VE
Would like the ability to either pull from CDI source fields for thumbnails for example the way the CDI for Naxos can use {{control/sourcerecordid}} to build the link for online access. We need to be able to use this same field to pull in the thumbnail automatically. Alternately or in addition another option would be to allow additional logic from another Marc field to determine whether a field should be used. e.g. Use 035a for $$LinkingParameter1 IF 040a = Naxos.

Primo - "related titles sorted alphabetically by title" also for Primo direct / classic not VE
In Primo VE one can have related titles sorted alphabetically by title
This is particularly useful for multipart, journals, and in general complex record structure. Unfortunately, this is possible only in Primo VE, but not in classic Primo.
It would be useful if the 2 versions of Primo were aligned also regarding this very useful feature.0 votes -
Make the path shorter to change PIN code for self check
One of the most frequent problems our borrowers have is that they have forgotten the pin code they use when borrowing books at the self check machine. We prefer that they change it themselves by logging into their account, but doing that is rather cumbersome. The function is hidden under My library account/Settings/Address/language settings/Update login credentails. It could instead be placed in the menu or lifted so that it appears before the adress and language settings.

Default sorting order in Loan Display
We would like to have an option to select the default sorting order from "Due Date - newest", "Due date - oldest", "Title" in "My Library Card > Loans > Active Loans" and "My Library Card > Overview > Loans" display.
