Allow custom scopes for CDI records, for an "articles only" drop-down search profile
Currently, custom scopes that allow for setting conditions include only local data from Alma, and do not include any CDI records, even if blended with CDI. This means it is not possible to create a search profile with a custom data scope of with "Resource type: articles". Instead, in order to limit a search to only articles, the user must use the facets on the left-hand side of the page. I think this is a common search parameter that should ideally be available in the drop-down menu to the right of the search bar.

The ability to add custom data scopes that include CDI data would really enhance user access to records. We would like to give our library users the ability to search only for particular resource types; in addition to articles, our users have been asking for a streaming video scope. The utility of the custom data scopes is really limited when they exclude all of the metadata available in the CDI.
