How can we improve Primo?

Support for Email Sending Without Using an Email Client in the NDE UI Email Share Action

Background:
In the previous Primo VE UI, it was possible to send emails using Primo VE’s built‑in email functionality when sharing records via email.
However, in the NDE UI, this functionality has been removed, and the system has been changed so that an email client application must always launch to perform email-based record sharing.
In this situation, shared public PCs in the library—used for search purposes—cannot run email client software, making it impossible to use NDE’s email sending feature.

Proposal:
To resolve this issue, we request support for sending emails using Primo VE’s built‑in functionality in the NDE UI as well.
To reduce potential security concerns, we believe it would also be acceptable if this feature were only available when the user is logged in to Primo.

Benefits:
Users will be able to use Primo’s email-based record sharing feature even on shared public PCs where email client software cannot be used.

    +1 to restoring the ability to select and email multiple records as well as restoring the ability to use built-in rather than client email to send records, even if such emailing required login. Also, we would like fuller record metadata to be emailed, as it was previously, and not just the title and link to the Primo record as it is now.

    I support this idea and agree with Ed regarding restoring the ability to select (and email) multiple records at a time.

  • Patricia Farnan commented  · 

    I definitely support this idea - enforced login to get the email feature would be appreciated. Otherwise it's a feature that we may as well switch off entirely.

  • Anonymous commented  · 

    If there are significant security concerns, we would also be comfortable with making login mandatory and removing the comment field altogether.

    Please also restore the ability to export multiple records at once, as this is an important and frequently used feature. Thanks and kind regards

    Agreed with others. Its an important feature especially in shared/public computer settings.

  • Cate commented  · 

    Agree with Ed and others. This is too important not to have.

  • Ed commented  · 

    Further - the ability to select multiple records and send the collected list of selected records in one email must be restored. This functionality is fundamental to information management and a standard across library database products.

    This functionality must also be restored to the current Primo interface in short order.

    We have too many public users who don't have their own email client installed. Eliminating built-in email functionality from NDE makes the catalog much less user friendly.
