Saved search for search term not found in index
Occasionally there is a search term which is new and has not been indexed yet (such as a new species name like Rhenopyrgus viviani). At present we just see just see a 'no records found' message - it would be useful to create a saved search to pick up when this term appears in the literature.

Show correct number of renewals in Primo and Aleph
In our testing Aleph, we set to allow unlimited number of renewals.
Item was already renewed for more than 9 times, the number of renewals shown in Aleph client and Primo were both stopped at 9.
We request Aleph and Primo to show the correct number of renewals.3 votes -
Display item(s) cost in patron loan letters or My Account to show savings.
We'd like to be able to let patrons know how much money they saved by using the library as opposed to paying for books themselves. To do this, we'd like to be able to display item cost information (such as from the POL in Alma) for items loaned either in the Loan Letter or in the patron's account.

SRU Barcode
We would like SRU availability fields to include barcode. Barcode is a useful identifier for items. This addition would allow us to do things like get all the barcodes in a location and do an inventory.

Add library location to advanced search options
There is currently no way to do a search by location in Primo VE, where a user can choose to search a specific location by selecting one from a pre-populated drop-down menu. Please add this to the Advanced Search options.

Add the PNX creator field to records in the Collection Discovery interface
The brief display of the items records in the Collection Discovery interface contains only the document type and the document title, We propose to add at least the creator PNX field to give the user more information about the document without having to open the full display. Ideally, we would like to be able to customize whjch fields appear in the brief display as we already do for the brief display in the result list.

Determine source for Autocomplete-suggestions in a blended scope
In Primo you can activate autocomplete to get suggestions for search-queries based on what the end-user begins to type in the search-box.
We have tested the functionality and see that it could be useful for the end user to get these suggestions. However we see that the suggestions from the central index in some cases are a little strange and that you get suggestions from the entire index and not only the sources the institution has activated. This means that the end-user could get suggestions that gives 0 results.
The local index suggestions seems to be a lot more accurate…

Possibillity to add print journal holdings to Primo holdings-file
In Primo only the electronic holdings for e-books and e-journals are taken into consideration when determining the availability for a record/article from the central index (PCI/CDI).
The libraries also have print/physical holdings of journals that can fulfill the needs of the end-user and that can fill gaps in the electronic coverage. If the user search for an article that the library only has as part of the physical journal holdings the availability of the article are set to "Not available" and dependig on the configuration the article might not even show up in the result-list.
This has been adressed in…

Option to create additional links for records from external data sources in Primo VE
At time, in Primo VE, it is only possible to create a link to the resource and a link to the thumbnail in the Import Profile for external data sources. In Primo with a BO, however, it is possible to create nearly as many links in the PNX links section as you like. We use these links a lot for the records of our many different data sources, e.g. create links to an abstract or tables of content, links to related titles, and many mores. These links help to enrich metadata and are user friendly. Therefore, we suggest that in…

This is to update that this issue is currently not planned. We will evaluate it again for next year's road map.

Display multi-lingual values in facets in a consistent order
Currently, same values in different languages in multi-lingual facets (topic, author) appear randomly.
We suggest to create a consistent language order independent of the sort by_size configuration option, so that the values in these facets will be displayed by the determined order. For example, if the order will be: Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic - the values will always be displayed by this same language order.
See example image provided for the following search:
https://haifa-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,gibran%20kahlil&tab=default_tab&search_scope=books_and_more&vid=HAU&lang=en_USWe are suggesting that for the facets set by size in the View, the same value in all languages will be grouped together and displayed one…

Highlight one result from each Resource Recommender type in brief results
We can create multiple types of Resource Recommenders, but if multiple items within a particular type match the tags a user searches for, multiple items are returned from a single Recommender and some Recommenders are hidden. We would like to be able to highlight one result from each matching Recommender.
For example, display in Primo seems to support highlighting 3 items from Resource Recommenders in brief results, with additional items displayed under link to "See all [#] suggested resources." We currently have three Recommender types: Library Guides, Databases, and a Custom recommender for Librarians (enhanced version of Person recommender). No…1 vote -
Wrong holdings information for FRBR-grouped books outside of IZ
An institution owns a specific edition of a book, ex:https://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=BIBSYS_ILS71566408110002201&context=L&vid=SSHF&search_scope=default_scope&isFrbr=true&tab=alle_bibliotek&lang=no_NO
When extending the search scope to other libraries, they may find other editions of the book, which they don’t own (https://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=BIBSYS_ILS71566408110002201&context=L&vid=SSHF&search_scope=blended_scope&isFrbr=true&tab=alle_bibliotek&lang=no_NO ).
The original/owned book's barcode is shown for the other edition(s) as well. This is unfortunate as it is quite confusing (contradictory messages, give the impression the library owns resources it doesn’t), and can lead the user to order the wrong book.
The availability status is correct but the holdings information is not. The ISBN should be used here to prevent tis from happening, instead of the…

add date/time stamps to indexing & hotswapping sections of Job Details Report
In the job details reports, where indexing and hotswapping are reported, there is no date/time stamp to indicate how long these portions of the job took to run. It's useful for guesstimating the length of a process before we start it and other sections like FRBR and DeDup include this information

Detailed Results in-view counter
Primo system allows for viewing detailed results of a given search, one at a time. Navigation through the results is being done using the Arrow icons of the side of the display (picture attached).
Currently there is no option to know your current position on a line of numerous results.
It would be useful to be able to view a counter next to the arrow icons which will indicate my current position on the results line, for example "Result 5 out of 17". Attached is an example of that feature in the ALEPH interface.
Thank you.

Chinese characters ordered by stroke count
If we choose sort by "Title" for result list, it seems the Chinese titles are in order of the Unicode Number of Chinese Character. (Please find the attachment file.)
Actually, Chinese are used to sort by number of strokes. Normal users don't understand the Unicode Number.
We would like to change order way of Chinese titles by stroke count which is best for Chinese users. Thank you.

Create a "Resources I can access" item under the Show Only left hand side menu.
Create a "Resources I can access" filter item under the Show Only left hand side menu. This would use the clients logged in group to apply a filter to search results to only show those that they can actually access with their login group. I am sure you can think of a better label for the filter. The principle is the same as "Full Text Online" - most of the time clients want to be able to get to the items they can access straight away as efficiently as possible - this is not an issue most of the time…

The number of default thumbnails of each tile on Primo Collection Lobby
If I do not define any image files, the system displays the first four images found in the collection's sub-collections and items. It looks much too complicated so it would be great if the institution can fix the number of default thumbnails in a tile(e.g. 4 -> 1), without defining an image file on Discovery tab or General tab.

Primo VE : possibility to search /filter by code or label within a label table
In Primo VE, it is currently possible to search for labels and code, but this just allows you to search for, and access to the good label table. Once inside a given table, it is only possible to filter by label language. We would like to add the possibility to search or filter within the tab by code or label, such as what is currently possible on Primo BO, where you can search and display only the line you are looking for, without scrolling along the whole table or using a Ctrl+F. This would be much more effective for administrators.

Export a Primo Permalink from Alma to Results of an Alma Set
Analytics enables one to create some very advanced queries in Alma, but there's no way to share the Results with users in Primo. Being able to create a Primo permalink to the results of an Alma set would remedy that.
