Primo does not distuinguish between see references and see too references
Please see public ticket 423179 opened by our University.
Sadly we have discovered that "Primo does not distuinguish between see references and see too references". In our opinion this would be an useful improvemet28 votes -
sortedy by call number
The current "Sorted by" options are Relevance, Date-oldest, Title, Author, and Date-newest. It would be helpful to also have the option of "Call Number."

"Save query" for zero results
Add the "Save query" option to zero-results pages (similar to how it already appears on results pages) for when you want to be notified of expected future results. For example, you might want an alert for a recently published article not yet in PCI, or an emerging topic that nothing has yet been written about.

Display virtual browse by shelf mark as default (without mouse-over)
The new PRIMO Ui virtual browse has changed the display of the shelf mark information. You need to do a mouse-over to see the shelf mark. The suggestion is to make shelf mark display as default (as in the old UI), publication year as an option in back office or maybe have both shelf mark and publication year on different rows (without mouse-over solution).
1. Will all users understand it’s a mouse-over solution here?
2. Will all users be able to display the shelf mark with mouse-over? Compatible with all major web browsers? The mouse over doesn’t work in Safari…6 votes -

[Primo] - UI - show Call Number in My Library Card - Requests
The information about the shelfmark and physical position of an Item (i.e. the Physical Location and the Call Number) in not displayed in the Requests section of My Library Card. It is not displayed even if you expand the row (see attachment).
The same happens in the old UI, if you click on Details. It might look like a minor issue, but it's not. Users looking at their requests have no clue where they books are actually located. They are forced to perform the search again for each item they requested. Consider that in many cases items are not moved…

New UI - allow full results to be opened in a new tab
In the old interface and in summon it is possible to open full details pages in a new tab while keeping the full results list open.
In the new ui this is not possible. As one of our academics says
"I prefer to review the results page first, opening potentially useful results in new tabs (using 'ctrl+click' ) so that they load 'in the background'. Then I can review each tab without disrupting the original search results (and come back to them later if necessary). "In the new UI the full record opens over the results list and has…

Improve RTA Holdings status information for checked out / unavailable items for Alma consortiums
For Alma / Primo customers in a consortial resource sharing network, when an item in an institutional view is checked out, in the brief results display, an RTA availability statement is replaced with a "Check Holdings" link. Upon clicking on the title and viewing the full display of the record, RTA is checked for all institutions, including the institution of the view the user is in, updating the RTA status. When the user clicks out of the full record, the correct status (e.g., Checked Out) displays in the RTA section of the brief record in the results list.
Users should…

Primo New UI : Allow OTB ordering of full record display sections
The New UI does not allow libraries to easily configure the order of the sections in the full record display.
We would like an Out of the Box solution to re-order the full record display.For example: We would like to move the ViewIt section to the top, and move the Actions sections to sit after the Details section.
15 votesHi all,
This is planned to be handled in the new Primo discovery user interface.
More details about it can be found here:

Return all hits for a language in advanced search
In advanced search when refining to language you only get a result if you have a search statement. It should be possible to get all records in a certain languge, both from pipes and Primo central, if you refine to a certain language in advanced search. As it works in Libris advanced search: http://libris.kb.se/form_extended.jsp?f=ext

sorting gets lost when switching scopes
If a user sets the sorting of the result list, her predefined sorting gets lost on switching between search scopes. In this case, the sorting returns to the default, e.g. "by relevance".
We see this in the new UI as well, but think that users should not be forced to select their preferred sorting again and again.
Please consider this to enhance user experience.

Feature in advanced search to retrieve all records in a certain language
It should be possible in advanced search to choose a language and submit search and get all books in that language without having to write a word to search. As it works now it's impossible to retrieve exactly ALL books in a language in one result list. Check this feature in Libris: http://libris.kb.se/form_extended.jsp?f=ext

Add Back Office funtionality to change colour of calculated availability link text
In the Primo back office, the calculated availability text code table has lines to control the colour of the availability icons that display in the old UI (default.delivery.class)
As the icons have gone from the new UI, we want to be able to easily change the colour of the text of the availability message without having to resort to CSS hacks or trying to put tags around existing lines in this code table.
We need to be able to change colours easily to meet our accessibility obligations as an institution

Date format for Loans option for DD/MM/YYYY (New UI/Primo VE)
We have Primo VE and the New UI and the date format for loans (in the user's account) defaults to the US MM/DD/YYYY format. We want to be able to chnage this to DD/MM/YYYY but there currently isn't an option to do so.

Allow customization of "Show source records" feature
Since february 2017 relase, it is possible to display MARC record in UI, using "Show source records" feature. As this feature was very much in demand with our users and librarians, we are very pleased.
Unfortunately, the feature's look and feel doesn't live up to our expectations. In the attach file, you can compare the display our users are used to and the actual display of "Show source record". It lacks of clarity.
It would be great to be able to customize this feature's display in order to adapt it to our users needs and to preserve the consistency of…

Book covers images for generic FRBR result
In the result list a generic FRBR document does not show a cover image but only the generic FRBR icon. The result list would look much more attractive if also FRBR results had real cover images. Ideally, the real covers images of the top 3 FRBR results were used to form a fan of covers. So, the FRBR icon would only be used if there are no real covers images.
