Configuration for cubicle or space reservations
Currently, the resource and space reservation functionality in Primo VE is very limited. It is necessary to enable configurations that make the reservation process faster and simpler. Among the required improvements are:
• Adjusting the available reservation times according to the Library's opening hours, avoiding displaying time slots that are not relevant.
• Allowing the Library team to configure only certain days, instead of automatically enabling all days.
• Unifying the calendar system so that a single calendar is used to select the reservation date, instead of one for the start and another for the end.1 vote -

Dedup and FRBR Test Utility
Could the Dedup and FRBR Test Utility (Configuration/discovery) have the ability to remember the last MMS ID numbers that were looked up? We seem to spend a lot of time going back and forth to the same records trying to get them to match and having to find and paste in the MMS of both, e.g. the print and the eBook records - usually from the Primo URL where I invariably pick up the preceding word, Alma. It would be great if it retained the last couple of MMS searched for to save a bit of time and effort.

Support MARC field 857 (Web Archive Links) in Primo VE
Please add support for MARC field 857 in Primo VE so that links stored in this field can be displayed in the Links section, similar to MARC field 856.
Field 857 is increasingly used by libraries to store links to archived versions of web resources (e.g., web archive snapshots). Currently, these links are not displayed in Primo VE, even when the field is present in the MARC record.
Supporting field 857 would allow libraries to expose web archive links and preserved web content directly to users and better support web archiving and digital preservation initiatives.
Why this helps many institutions:

Display of Advanced Search Pre-filters in the “Searched for” section in the Advanced Search summary
Currently, the “Searched for” section in the Advanced Search summary does not display complete pre-filter information. We believe it would be beneficial for users to see a complete summary of all search parameters, including any date range pre-filters applied in Advanced Search.
For example, if a user searches with the following criteria:
All Subjects contains exact phrase North Korea
Resource Type: Books
Date: 2016–2026
the search results currently display only "Searched for: All Subjects contains exact phrase North Korea"
We ask that the “Searched for” summary reflect the full set of applied filters, such as "Searched for: All Subjects contains…

Add an "audiobook" indicator to CDI records
We want to make it possible for our users to facet to and search more effectively for audiobooks.
In CDI records, both non-musical and musical audio materials have the same resource type, audio, and there is no way to distinguish between non-musical and musical audio materials. Our researchers have identified this as an accessibility issue and barrier for use because they are not able to identify audiobooks in our Primo catalog. Locating audiobooks is important both for general research and to provide access for those needing audio formats.
For local records, we can identify audiobooks by creating local/secondary resource types…1 vote -
Way to block access to popular fiction/nonfiction that is less than 6 months old in the Global Title Index
I know we can turn off some resource types in the global title index, as we have turned off dissertations and some other categories and it has worked well. We were wondering if there is a way to block access to popular fiction or nonfiction that is less than 6 months old. We do have users that request these, and we have to almost always reject them as 1.) they are always checked out, and 2.) they are not available through WisCat which is our Wisconsin public library union catalog.

Icons in NDE
The icons at the top of the list of records following a search are not very self-explanatory.
On one hand, the export icon looks more like an logout icon.
On the other, the bookmark icon is not easily recognizable as such. Visually, it appears more like a simple rectangle rather than a flag, making it particularly difficult to identify for users with visual impairments.
We would encourage improving these two icons to enhance usability.

Direct linking from Full record in Primo
Within the full record display in Primo VE, the available online link should take the user directly to the resource, not to another field in the full record where users can then link out to the resource.

Allow Independent Configuration of “Fine” and “Potential Fine” in NDE Loan Displays
As a Primo administrator, I would like independent configuration control for “Fine” and “Potential Fine” in the NDE loan displays so that libraries can manage Brief and Detailed loan information consistently and transparently.
Current behavior in NDE is unclear and differs from existing Primo VE behavior:
- When “fine” is enabled in the Loans Detailed Display configuration, both “Potential Fine” and “Fine” appear as separate labels to users, even though only one configuration option exists.
- When “fine” is removed from the Detailed Display configuration, both “Potential Fine” and “Fine” are removed from both the Brief and Detailed loan displays in NDE.

PRIMO - Campo 774 MARC21- manter ordem dos campos catalogados=maintain the order of the cataloged fields
Gostaria de porpôr a configuração da visualização do campo 774 marc21. No caso de uma miscelânea que tem vários títulos queríamos preserver a ordem dos títulos que estão catalogados. O PRIMO não os apresenta como são catalogados no ALMA, ele ordena-os por ordem alfabética. Seria exelente ter uma opção que respeitasse a catalogação de origem. Ou uma regra que permita a escolha de uma das opções.

Collection page sorting option that places digitized titles first
Primo does not currently offer a collection page sorting option that places digitized titles first. The available options are relevance, title, date, and author.
Displaying readily accessible materials first would improve the user experience and make the search results page more visually appealing.1 vote -
Restore filters for mobile search.
Filtering PrimoNDE results on a mobile device requires selecting "Edit" and filling in search fields. Filters such as "Format" and "Library" are no longer available. There was no reason to remove these options but PrimoNDE seems designed to be more difficult to use.
