Pin Title-Level bibliographic record at top of Newspaper Search results
Many users at our institution simply want to browse the most recent issue of a newspaper we have a subscription to. They are not searching for specific articles.
It would benefit our users if the newspaper search results provided easy access directly to the record (and view-online link) for a specific newspaper title. Perhaps this could be similar to the "Highlight Reference Entry On Top" where the appropriate record is pinned to the top of the results.
So, a Newspaper Search for "New York Times" ought to pin the title-level bibliographic record (that our institution has full access to) to…

Searchable Training Videos
Enable the content of all training videos to be retrievable when searching the Ex Libris Knowledge Center. This would improve training by making the video content more accessible. By indexing audio transcripts of training videos, customers can more easily retrieve information relevant to their query and help ourselves.

Brief Record Display in Primo VE
We have just been updating the order of the icons thinks like Citation, Permalink, RefWorks, etc. When you set this up in Alma the order of the itmes is the wrong way round: The first item you want displayed has to be bottom of the icon list, not the top, which is completely counter intuitive. Please can the icons list sort top is first instead?

Advanced search: holding call number

Currently this is not the case.3 votes -

Normalization rule to add related links in PNX record
Currently Primo generates Related Links from the 856 field in the MARC. It would be very useful to be able to create a normalization rule that creates links in the PNX that Primo then turns into Related Links. This is possible in Summon, it should be a feature in Alma as well.

add vernacular title to exported records in Primo VE
hi,
in primo back office it's possible to use a mapping table to add the display/vertitle field to exports to RefWorks and RIS but the export mappings in Primo VE seem to be fixed and the equivalent of the vertitle field is not included. this should be a straightforward addition and provide much better exported references for users - thanks for considering!

EBooks from "Initiative E-Books.NRW" to CDI
As part of "Initiative E-Books.NRW" from the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft NRW we now have access to about 100.000 E-Books from several providers. The Ministerium published a press release of this issue in January (https://www.mkw.nrw/presse/e-books-nrw).
We don't want to put the metadata into our local system, because the access to the content is limited to 3 years. After the 3 years we may have access to content that was frequently asked. For now it is not clear, which content that may be.
We would appreciate to have this metadata in the CDI to make it easier for…

Archival materials misleadingly accessible via ILL
When searching my institution's PrimoVE instance with the "Add results beyond your library's collection" box checked (it is checked by default), users are getting search results that include archival and special collections materials from other institutions. Users who log in can request these items via EZBorrow or ILL, but this is misleading because archival and special collections materials do not circulate and cannot be checked out or delivered to another library. These requests will always be denied and cause some confusion for users and library staff. We're concerned that users will be at best confused by having this option seemingly…

Capitals in Tags
Tags work currently only in lower case and this is OK for concepts. But when users need to tag regions and countries, the lower case creates a disturbance. Could it be possible to have tags respect Capitals?

Primo VE's paganation feature choises also to the top of results
Primo VE's new pagination feature's options to change to another page should be added also to the top of results. Or maybe the choise could be floating at the bottom of the page, visible all the time.
Now if you have chosen 50 results per page the choises are pretty long way down.3 votes -
Automatically reopen all the closed tabs after Primo timeout when sign in again
Some of our patrons like to use Primo with many open tabs, each tab can contain one item they are interested in and want to read/check out. The problem is that if they spend longer time than the timeout limit (one hour for our instance), Primo will automatically log out and close all the tabs. And the patron cannot re-claim/re-open closed tabs after sign in again. It has been a recurring complaint and we think extending the timeout limit is not a good solution. Our expectation for Primo is that when patrons sign in again, the lost/closed tabs from the…

Add permalinks to Resource Sharing Form
When a user submits a RS request for an item in Primo, it would be helpful to have a permalink as part of that form. There is a "Source" field, but that isn't helpful in tracking down the original record the user was on. If the metadata in the request doesn't parse into the form correctly (which it sometimes doesn't for less common material types) and the user failed to add more detail, it would be helpful to have the permalink.

Allow A-Z facet to have both title and alternative title
Use case: Users will look for databases and journals by the name they know, which often doesn't match the official title in the 245 field. We would like the ability to add more than one entry to the atoz facet so that users can find items by both the title and alternative title.
Example:
245 Education Database - under E
246 Proquest Education Database - under PThis would improve the user experience and findability for our subscription resources.

citation linker - highlight required fields
I'm suggesting an out of the box configuration option to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I have adjusted the text, to let our users know that an identifier is required but the text can easily be missed. We recently migrated to Alma/Primo VE and when we had 360/Summon, we were able to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I am investigating CSS customization options.
