Keep chosen UI language after login
At the moment, following login, the Primo UI changes to either
a) preferred UI user language as indicated in the user preferences, or
b) default language
This leads to odd situations, for example,
User changes UI (from German) to English -> everything is now in English
Does a search etc etc -> still in English
Logs in - Login etc window in English
After successful login, the user is returned to Primo... but in German!
This is inexplicable for the user, and unless they know about preferences, and where to set them, it happens every time.
Note to change preferences…

Add DOI and PMID to Advanced Search Indexes in Primo VE
DOI and PMID searching can be augmented for enhancement in keyword searching in Primo VE, so that these identifiers can be searches as keywords. It would be very helpful to our researchers to be able to more efficiently and exactly search within Advanced Search fields for DOI and PMID. These fields can be searched within unique fields in the Citation Linker, so the indexes exist, but they are not available for inclusion in Advanced Search settings. We would like to be able to add DOI and PMID as options in Advanced Search settings in Primo VE.

Disturbing hover texts in Get It and Active Filters
Hover texts in Primo VE
In the "Get IT/Location" area in the copy view, all data (for example: section, callnumber, availability, ...) is output again as hovertext (white font with black, semi-transparent background) when hovering over it (see appendices 1-3). The same error also occurs with the Active Filters on the search results page (see appendix 4).
This redundancy disturbs the user experience and already confuses users. In some cases, this phenomenon makes it impossible to see the entire text.
I request that these disturbing hover texts be removed.31 votes -
Allow configuration of call numbers in virtual browse
If you choose to display electronic materials in Virtual Browse Primo VE only allows 050 Library of Congress call numbers.
It would be good to have the option to choose between 050 or 082, so we could display Dewey to clients instead.7 votes -
Could the blank resource sharing request form check the Alma link resolver before a user submits the request
We have configured the blank resource sharing request form into our Primo menu. Before submitting a request on this form it would be useful if the request was check against our institutional collection using the Alma link resolver (similar to what happens with the Citation linker).

add otb support for iso 639-3 languages in Primo
Primo currently supports iso 639-2 values for languages.
We would like a support for the broader iso 639-3.
Iso 639-3 is much richer.
For example in our library we have more and more materials written in Ladin of the Alps, which is not the iso 639-2 Ladino (a language with the same name but spoken in Spain) but is instead the Ladin lld in iso 639-3.
As a language iso 639-3 lld is a subset of the broader iso 639-2 roh family. But using just roh is quite a lack of granularity for us.Other customers around the world may…

Enable Public Notes display for content within Database-type collections
It would be very helpful if Public Notes could be displayed for individual content (articles, etc.) within Database-type collections. Currently, Public Notes for Database-type collections can only be placed on the record for the collection itself, and they are not displayed on individual content. So if a user searches for the name of the database (such as
ProQuest Congressional Hearings Digital Collection: Part A (1824-1979)) they can see the Public Note below the View Online link -- but if they search for an article held within that collection (such as Committee Business. Congressional Hearing, 1980-07-31), there is no public note…80 votes -
Remove the character limit for the Resource Recommender Description field
Currently, there is either no limit or a large limit on the Description field of the Resource Recommender when files are uploaded from Excel.
However, if you open an existing Recommender to edit something (fix a typo, add additional keywords, update a URL), you are not permitted to save unless the Description field has fewer than 300 characters. This means I opt not to fix my typos, and I have to spend the time to rewrite the description to fit into <= 300 characters in order to update a URL. I find this limitation very frustrating.
Please either remove or…

Usage Statistics view on the Library Search/Primo for Alma D
We know we can run usage statistics via alma analytics. The usage report is for the internal library staff to decide on different collections. I want to propose to add the functionality to Alma D, where everyone will see the usage report on Primo in a different facet. This is an essential feature, especially for the end-users. If the function is added, the end-users will be able to see the statistical report about the document/resource, i.e., When was the document/resource last used?

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.

Dedup process - Create Additional data PNX fied based on prefered record
In dedup process, all fields from Additional Data section are merged and duplicate fields are removed. This design choice cause some issues with Citation service. When you merge records from differents sources, there is a strong possibility that data are not exactly the same and some data are duplicated. This problem may often be solved by choosing fields from prefered records as it is the case for display section

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?

Enable synonymisation in phrase searches
It is still the case in Primo that one version of a synonymised term proves searchable as a phrase search, but not both, despite both having been added to the local and/or hosted versions (delete where applicable) of the Primo synonym list.
E.g. “Versus” and “vs” have been added to the synonym list, but whilst a search for “Semantics versus pragmatics” returns results, a search for “Semantics vs pragmatics” returns none.
It needs to be appreciated that there will always be instances where performing a search without speechmarks for a search term that includes a synonym isn't practicable, in particular…

Resource Recommender: "truncation", "starts with" and "part of" tags
Enable more functionalityfor tags. Currently we have a database for laws. Nobody search for law, laws etc. We want the option to make the database searchable with tags like "law of; "law for" "comonlaw" etc. I cant put in all the laws and synonyms as tags.
So it would good for users to get a match on all those things.19 votes -
