"Load more results" button in My account / Loans / Previous and historic loans
In the same way as there is now a 'load more results' button in My favorites / Saved records, we would like to see a 'load more results' button in My account / Loans / Previous and historic loans.

Improve the Alma linkresolver design to reduce the appearance multiple online links by a single provider in Primo/Primo VE search results
As a Primo user I would like to see a single link per provider for the content I discover, with the option to view additional links if I wish.
Background
Primo search results deliver multiple links per provider for each search result. Our clients find this overwhelming.We now use a custom linkresolver to bundle the multiple search result links to a single link from each provider. The option to view all links remains under a drop-down menu.
When we migrate to Primo VE the custom linkresolver will no longer work. We will return to the multiple links per provider…

Resource recommender
Currently there isn’t any option to order resources other than alphabetically for the resource recommender.
We have control over the order that the ‘Types’ of resources display by (e.g. Databases, People, Websites …), but as all of our resources are databases, we are limited to the default sort.
Would like more flexibility on this.

Allow custom "Username" and "Password" labels when using multiple modes of authentication
For institutions using multiple modes of authentication (such as LDAP for externally-managed users and Alma for internally-managed users), it is not currently possible to customize the "Username" and "Password" labels to have custom labels display for each authentication method. The "User Login" code table only provides one field for customizing the username or password, which displays for all methods of authentication. It would be more helpful to all users (and particularly internally-managed users) if we could specify on the login page which information users should enter as their "username" and "password."

Make search expansions for author names visible to end users
When performing an advanced author search, Primo returns results for associated pseudonyms. For example, an exact author search for J.K. Rowling returns results for the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. However, unlike with keyword search expansions, the user is given no indication that Primo is including results for related terms. This enhancement would make expanded author searches behave like other search expansions by providing proper notification and giving the use the option to exclude the expanded search results.

make sign-in reminder above items list sticky
for records with large numbers of items attached it would improve the user experience if the banner which reminds users to sign in to place requests was 'sticky' so that it was always visible no matter how far down the list of items they are. for instance, our staff have reported user confusion when browsing for a specific physicval volume of a long-running journal title - they eventually find the item they want but then don't know how to get it because there's no sign in option.

Patron must agree the borrowing request agreement in Primo before booking a Kindle book
The customer of 86CUHKSZ would like to add a borrowing request agreement in Primo, so when a patron wants to book a Kindle book, the borrowing request agreement must be read and agreed at first, otherwise, the patron cannot book the Kindle book. And the customer would like to have an interface to update the agreement accordingly.

Pre-load images
Patrons have reported latency for loading search results in Primo. And our observation shows that:
- Images are always loaded at the last and it normally take a few seconds to be loaded completely
- The thumbnails are likely meaningful only for books (book covers) while other types are loaded with default icons
Our suggestion: Pre-load image for non-book items (e.g., article, video and etc) in hope to improve user experience with search.1 voteHello All,

seperate 'my favorites' from search history
Please separate 'my favorites' from the search history. users dont think to look under my favorites for search history and the title hierarchy does not make sense. My favorites should go to pinned items and a separate tab should exist for search history.

Allow libraries at primary Alma campus to be prioritized in Primo displays
Currently on an item brief display, when multiple holdings exist, the availability statement shows whichever holding library comes first alphabetically, and on the results pages the Libraries facet lists libraries in alphabetical order. This alpha setup is problematic for multi-college / multi-library institutions that use per-campus Primo views. If the campus holds the item, its holding, not another campus that comes first alphabetically, should display in the availability statement. In addition, the Libraries facet should either prioritize the primary campus, or be sorted in order of number of hits (as most facets are) rather than alphabetically.

Folders to organize Save Query searches in Primo
I'd like to see a way to organize my Save Query searches in Primo when I'm signed into my account.
Prior to our go live date, I'm doing a lot of test searches in Primo to analyze results so we can tweak it for the best results. Having the ability to save different searches and variations of them in folders would be a great option, both for us and for our students when we complete our rollover before the Fall semester.
5 votesThank you for this idea, following it we have implemented a new Notification Name field to help users name their saved searches . this can be seen in both alert emails as email title or in the
My Favorites → Saved Searches.
We are moving the idea to close and not completed since the implementation doesn’t cover folders or labels to search for.
Please refer to the upcoming Primo August 2021 release notes for more details -

"see" references also for the browsing by title
Hello,
our (public) case #00518038 has confirmed that the "see" references to not-preferred forms in a browse search are implemented only for Authors and subjects.
We ask the implementation also for the titles

Multiple versions of Books not showing as format BOOKS

Facets for location of item within a library as well as library
Currently it is only possible to filter search results by the holding Library. The ability to filter search results to a specific location or locations within a library would be useful - for example, to filter the results to copies held at the "Student Library" location and not those held at the "Old Library" location as students cannot borrow items from the Old Library and only want to see the copies they can borrow (those held at the "Student Library" location).

Saved Records Print out in Brief Display
A second print option should be added so that saved records can be printed as a list, with the same brief display elements in the Pinned record display (title, author, citation). The current print option include the entire record (notes, abstracts, ToC etc.) and if one is part of a consortium, all the holdings in the other member libraries.

Ability to set Primo into read-only mode (e.g. for closing times)
It would be nice to have a comfortable ability to set Primo into read-only mode (= customers can not make an order) like a button or checkbox in the backend.
Reason: many institutions have closing times in summer (for revision, etc.) and the customers should not be able to make an order. Another reasons are major system changes (e.g. switch from Aleph to Alma) where read-only mode is mandatory.Until now (classic and new UI) we avoid orders by modifying the CSS file (by using 'display:none;' in several places).
