  1. Add Australian language codes to Primo Back Office

    We would like Austlang (Australian language) codes added to the out of the box language code and mapping tables in Primo and for this coding to map to language facets and language display without any additional intervention by institutions. These language codes, used by many Australian libraries, are recorded in the 041$a field(s) of the bibliographic record. These codes do not conform to the three alpha character coding found in ISO639-2 or 639-3. Australian libraries would expect to use these codes in addition to the standard language coding currently available.
    The full list of Austlang codes can be downloaded from…

  2. A way to debug iFrame in Primo VE

    There is a way in "regular" Primo NUI to debug and troubleshoot Primo. For example, it was an easy way to see openURL that is passed to the vendor by right clicking and choosing view iFrame.

    Unfortunatley there is no way to do this in VE. This is a loss of a troubleshooting tool that is quite important.

    See attached.

    I would like to see a way to do something similar in VE.

    Thank you!

  3. Central Office institution in My Profile for Primo Central: free for delivery collections should be handled by Central Office Institution

    We've created a Central Office institution in My Profile for Primo Central as described in the Knowledge Center
    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo_Central/Product_Documentation/PC_Index_Configuration_Guide/020Primo_Central_Index_Registration/030Consortium_Activation_in_Primo_Central

    This works fine for resources which aren't free for delivery. Collections that are free for delivery have to be activated for each institution within the consortium separately. This means hard and time consuming work if you are supporting several institutions within a consortium like we do.

    From our point of view there is no reason why the collections that are free for delivery are handled differently. Main criteria to activate a collection is the quality of metadata in Primo Central. There…

  4. Turn Off/On Link to Tags and Browse Search in Main Menu Via Back Office

    Have the ability to add or delete Tag and Browse tabs in Primo Main Menu in the back office Views Wizard, like all other menu tabs in Primo. Currently, these two recently added tabs can only be hidden or moved via CSS edits and are enabled by default without a delivered method for changing the tab or removing it all-together. All tabs should be manageable via the same Back Office method.

  5. Delete and Monitor User-Submitted Tags in Primo

    I would love our students and patrons to adopt the tag functionality in Primo. I like that adding a tag requires being logged-in, which reduces possibility of automated or commercial spam significantly. But there's still significant likelihood of users applying tags with humorous or malicious intent.

    Two functions would greatly increase our likelihood of using this functionality rather than just hiding it via CSS:
    1. Allow administrators to delete tags.
    2. Allow administrators to review tags by searching and browsing in order of most recently applied first.

    Our implementation coordinator stated that this is currently unavailable for multitenant hosted Primo…
