Somehow my comment from yesterday has disappeared? I'd like to be included in the testing group, too.

Hi Erez

Just to be sure - this is the same as the following point on the Primo roadmap for 2026H1, correct? https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Materials/Roadmap/006_Primo_VE_Roadmap_Highlights%3A_2026_-_2027#Improve_Handling_of_Related_Records

At Uppsala University we would very much like to be part of the testing phase for this. I am not sure how to contact you about this. /best regards Bodil Wik

Thank you, Liza - looking forward to it!

This will be a big help for our patrons.

From Yael Shahar, 28.10.2025: "we are discussing it these days with Alma and will have an update soon"

Why the change from Under review to No status?
Kind regards
Bodil Wik

Most Alma votes by far.

(662; 2nd place has 421)

Dear Yael, your last update was over a year ago. Any news?

Kind regards
Manu

(A similar problem, with another cause https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/41985421-possibility-to-disactivate-related-link-to-physica )

Another example of how this problem messes up our catalog:

Publication format = Bilderbuch
https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/search?query=genre,contains,Bilderbuch,AND&tab=UBS&search_scope=UBS&vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&mfacet=genre,include,Bilderbuch,1&lang=en&mode=advanced&offset=0

I only want to see the ones from a particular library ->
https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/search?query=genre,contains,Bilderbuch,AND&tab=UBS&search_scope=UBS&vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&facet=library,include,5504%E2%80%93112070590005504&mfacet=genre,include,Bilderbuch,1&lang=en&mode=advanced&offset=0

But I get titles that UB Hauptbibliothek doesn't have, for example
https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma9948041300105504&context=L&vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&lang=en&search_scope=UBS&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=UBS&query=genre,contains,Bilderbuch,AND&facet=library,include,5504%E2%80%93112070590005504&mode=advanced&offset=0

Dear Yael,
Here comes an attachement in order to show the problems we have at Uppsala university.
Best regards
Bodil Wik

Dear Yael,
I tried to document in the attached file some examples and use cases that would positively be impacted by this enhancement in my opinion.
Kind regards

> In which cases the relation is correct

Dear Yael

For the display and functions of Fulfillment / Getit and facets in Primo, only this example is correct

https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/fulldisplay?vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&search_scope=UBS&tab=UBS&docid=alma9964782120105504&lang=en&context=L

it has a MARC field 773 $w

773 0#$tPro Natura lokal Basel $g2015, Nr. 4, 31 S. $q2015/4/31 $gyr:2015 $gno:2015 $w(IDSBB)001400350DSV01

----

All the other relations should only be visible under Details in the full record display. There they can be a link which leads to the other bib record, but no other function should be generated.

Hi all,
In order to better understand the requirements here -
today the relation is used in Alma resource management, in Fulfillment calculations and also in the Primo GetIt and facets.
We would like to ask you where do you see this change impact and under which conditions. We would appreciate any examples and use cases. In which cases the relation is correct, and in which it doesn't.

Thank you,
Yael.

Basel - UB Hauptbibliothek has this title.

'Show more locations' shows me
Basel - Uni Geschichte

who do NOT have this title.

"Available at ... and other locations"

This is not true. Only "Basel - Uni Philosophie" has it.

This is the only case where we want to show "Locations for related titles":

Dear Yael

This is great to hear, thank you.

NERS 8781, open for voting now.

Please vote to make our catalog less frustrating for our patrons.

Would be an important improvement!

Uppsala university also strongly supports this request. When relations for 830 $x generates related items in Primo, it gets very difficult for users to request the right material. There is no way to stop another item from the same series to be requested instead of the item bound with the item the user wants.

NERS 8161, round 2 open for voting now.

Please vote if you can, this would fix sevaral problems.

As stated earlier:
As long as this is not fixed, Primo VE just looks broken/unreliable for our patrons.
