  1. Primo NDE: Full Record Services - split up View It/Get It into its separate sections to allow reordering

    When configuring a view (either NDE or VE) in the Full Record Services tab, getit_link1 (View It/Get It) includes BOTH of the sections View It (Default label: View Online) and Get It (Default label: Get It, sub label: Locations). The combined sections works in Primo VE because requests are included in Get It. However, now that NDE has a new separate Requests section, the original View It/Get It should be split into its separate sections to allow institutions to customize the order of all three sections.

    For our institution, we want View Online at the very top as online access…

  2. NDE: Make all search profile slots visible in the drop-down list without the need for scrolling

    We are currently testing the NDE and have noticed that when we go to the search profile slot drop-down to choose a filter (please see attached image), we see only three of our four search profile slots at a time and have to scroll down to see the fourth. In our current Primo VE, all four options are visible without a user's having to scroll (please see attachment). Could visibility of all search profile slots in the drop-down list be restored in the NDE?

  3. Restore One-Click Permalink Access in NDE Brief and Full Record Displays

    As a library staff member and end user, I would like direct, one-click access to copy a permalink from both the brief and full record displays so that I can quickly and efficiently share stable links to resources without navigating through multiple menu layers.

    Description:

    In the original Primo VE UI, both brief and full record displays include a dedicated permalink button that allows users to access a permanent link to a resource with a single click. This streamlined access is essential for common workflows including:

    • Reference and instruction staff sharing resources with students and faculty
    • Liaison librarians embedding links…

  4. Add very compact display option, 1 row per title

    Please add a really compact additional display option
    – 1 row per title
    – no icon

    to allow an overview / quick scanning of long result lists.

    When I do a search on my laptop, I see two titles on the result list and the start of a third.

    Default number of results for the compact display should be 100 or more.

    And it should be a setting in the patron account.

  5. Better Primo VE Menu Link Options

    Custom menu links in Primo open in a new tabbed window. This is bad behavior. If I go back to the original screen and press the button again, it opens up another window in another tab, and so on.

    Desired Behavior:
    Menu link goes to address -- does not open a new window or tab. At the very least, it should have be an option for developers. Currently it is hard-coded in the html and not changeable. Using it leads to cluttered browsers.

  6. account request date

    Add the request's date on the user's account

    We would like that the user can see the date when he makes a request (hold or ILL) on his account.

    We think that's will be an improvement for the users.
