Field labels in Brief Record Displays
It would help the user to make sense of what they are reading in the Brief Record Display if we could include labels for some of the fields -- particularly for "Subject" and "Is part of".

Indent newspaper search under Source Type limiters
Indent the "Newspapers search" link under the "Source Type" limiter to bring it in line with the other listed source types (e.g. Articles, Reivews, Books, etc.).
As it currently displays, without being indented, it appears that all of the source types listed below are sub-sets of the Newspapers search.

To have a “Saved Query” feature at the top of the search results at Journal Search page
Currently, only the general search has this "Saved Query" feature in the search result. We would like to have this feature when searching at Journal Search page too.

Contextual Relationships - chapters
- Only display chapters for the volume being viewed, i.e. chapters from vol. 2 of the Cambridge Ancient History rather than chapters from all the volumes (230 in all!)
- Display chapters in page number order ( we can’t figure out the logic behind the current order of display)
- For multi-volume titles, a “other volumes in this title” link in addition to other chapters from the same volume

Add spacing between multiple entries of same marc field
Often, and especially in archival description, we use the same marc fields several times in the same record. So, more than 1 520 (description/scope&content) or more than 1 545 (bio/hist note) and many others.
The current display in primo ve kinda "smooshes" them all together. Would be great for readability if there was at least a space between multiple entries of the same field in any given record. Attachment has example in primo ve and one in - believe it or not - digitool, where there are extra spaces between each of the repeated fields. Much easier to read.

Search Loans within user Account
We have users who would like to be able to search within their list of currently checked out items. At present, the only options are (1) export the list of loans to BibTeX or RIS and search them in another program, or (2) sort by checkout date or title. When faculty have 400 items checked out, neither of these options is feasible. They would like a search box option within their account to search across all the items they have checked out.

My Library Card: Indicate number of loans at each library
Listed in the left margin of the My Library Card page in our multi-campus / multi-library environment are the names of each library from which a user has requested or borrowed an item. To save the user time in finding relevant, timely information, we'd like the number of items currently "in play" (on loan, requested, with associated fines, etc.) displayed next to each library in that list.

Overdue notices from Alma in Primo
In the mouse-over appearing in My loans above ‘not renewable’ a user sees all overdue notices that he/she has received for that specific item.
For instance when the user gets the fourth overdue notice he/she also sees the third and the second one in the small mouse-over text.For a better readability we’d like only the most recent notice to appear in the mouse-over.

Incorrect citation formatting
Below is an email that I got from one of our reference librarians:
Here’s a citation issue, we’re coping with.
I expect you can’t fix this because it looks like a broad indexing issue, but can it be reported?PROBLEM ONE (this affects MLA & APA & Chicago)
The Primo citations often include extra information, for example:
-- that it is a “report” or includes an “author abstract” or “Brief Article”
In these cases, it looks like it stems from Primo including too much info in the title field.PROBLEM TWO (this affects only MLA)
Primo citations often include not…2 votes -

Request: Please make it possible to find a match only by a title in Alma linkresolver
What I want is to make Alma link resolver find matches by a title. Now, Alma linker resolver is returning results only when ISSN/ISBN is given. And, a lot of CJK titles don't have ISSN/ISBN so that there are many occasions when a subscribed CJK portfolio without an identifier is not found in Primo service page. Unlike Alma link resolver, 360 link resolver supports title searching. This is the example of 360 link. The URL below doesn't contain ISSN information either but, it finds the correct match.
360 Link resolver:

time to reshelve
When "time to reshelve" hours are set in Alma, the reshelving status only displays in the "Get It" section of the full record display. It also needs to display in the brief record display. A patron who only sees the record in the list after a search won't know that the item isn't physically on the shelf unless they click on the full display and scroll down to Get It. Currently, if the "time to reshelve" setting has a value in it, an item will display with the status of "Available" in the brief record display in both the in…

Primo alerts - user defined frequency and digest options
Based on user suggestions, it would be helpful if, when users set themselves an alert for a saved search, they could choose the frequency with which these came through.
Some users might want them more/less than weekly.
Also, perhaps users could also choose to receive the alerts in a digest form: with the update for every search bundled into one email.

Provide a subject area in Analytics that lets us report on hotswap/indexing.
Every so often we find out from our cataloging staff that after several pipe/index cycles records are still not appearing in our Primo instance. We then go to Primo BO and find that records haven't hotswapped or indexed in several days (sometimes longer). We would like to KNOW when this happens. Primo Analytics provides reports on Pipes and on PNX/FRBR-Dedup cycles, but NOT hotswap/index cycles. The only way we can know if this is slowed or stopped is if a staff member happens to report it to us. It would be very useful to have a subject area in Analytics…

Separate Reviews from Book Chapters in Related Records Display
If you turn on the Related Records functionality in Primo VE, you get Chapters and Reviews. There's no way to select only that only chapters or only reviews display. It's both or nothing.
See the top section of this record for an example record with both book chapters and reviews: https://wrlc-gwalaw.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01WRLC_GWALAW/1mru39c/cdi_proquest_ebookcentral_EBC4980447

Users should be able to choose the length of the result page between 10 and 100 results per page
Users should be able to choose the length of the result page between 10 and 100 results per page according to predefined steps.
The option to do so should be available for unsigned users and should be persisted if a user is signed in.2 votes -
Allow boosting IZ records when displaying FRBR groups
As a member of a consortium, we would like to see our local records displayed first while looking at FRBR groups.
The current sorting and prioritization methods do not help with achieving this.

Have Location Facet appear ONLY AFTER a Library facet is selected
For large library systems, many locations of stacks, eg. exist making the location facet appear very confusing to users. The LibraryLocation facet is problematic because many library locations are beyond the limit of 20 that's possible to view.
