A-Z ejournals list
Would it be possible to re-instate the alphabetical groupings of eJournals that used to appear in Primo before Primo VE? This would be in addition to the subject groupings that we now have. The Subject groupings are great, but we have some customers who prefer to search through the alphabetical groupings that we used to have. If it could be something that could be incorporated, but have the ability to turn it off for those that don't want it on their Primo VE that would be great. Different people look for things in different ways and I think having both…

Import excel file to Journal Search Category labels
Journal Search Categories are possible to export as an excel file. It should also be possible to import the excel file, after editing it in excel. That possibility already exists for the Journal search labels. Why not for Journal Search Categories also?

Allow custom scopes for CDI records, for an "articles only" drop-down search profile
Currently, custom scopes that allow for setting conditions include only local data from Alma, and do not include any CDI records, even if blended with CDI. This means it is not possible to create a search profile with a custom data scope of with "Resource type: articles". Instead, in order to limit a search to only articles, the user must use the facets on the left-hand side of the page. I think this is a common search parameter that should ideally be available in the drop-down menu to the right of the search bar.

Primo VE - Local Resource Type order to match Primo BO functionality
When defining Local Resource Types in Primo VE, there is no option to adjust the order that the rules are checked, unlike in Primo BO. Being able to define the order of rules can help arranging them from most specific to least specific.

license
We would like Primo VE to show a license upon the license being approved in Alma.
Right now, any license that is linked to an item or a collection shows up in Primo VE, even if it is still a draft and in review status.
So I have had to remove the license from the collection in the meantime under we have the license terms verified.

It should be possible for partners to log in to Primo and see a list over their lending transactions with the library
It should be possible for partners to log in to Primo and see a list over their lending transactions with the library.
The Royal Danish Library handles more than 500.000 lending transactions with external partners per year.
At the moment it is not possible for partners to log in in to Primo and see their transactions.
This cause a lot of manuel labor for The Royal Danish Library to answer request of status form our partners.

Pin to the result last viewed in Primo after closing the item record
The current Primo design returns the user to a random earlier page, not necessarily to the same record, after clicking on a search result to open up the item record. So currently, after viewing result no. 24, and closing it, it could return you to result 11 in the Primo search results page.

citation linker - highlight required fields
I'm suggesting an out of the box configuration option to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I have adjusted the text, to let our users know that an identifier is required but the text can easily be missed. We recently migrated to Alma/Primo VE and when we had 360/Summon, we were able to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I am investigating CSS customization options.

Select languages for Primo VE UI that would be different than choices for Alma UI.
Currently all languages used in Alma (for staff) are automatically presented as the UI languages in Primo VE.
I would like to be able to manage the choices separately, so that we can choose to remove, or to add languages for Primo VE UI. Also, we should be able to sort the language choices in the order we prefer, based on the language in which the UI is open.
Thank you for your support.1 vote -

Add 12-Hour Due Times Display in Library Card
Currently, per a setting in Alma, due times in Alma and Primo VE can be set to display in the 12-Hour format (ex. 02/25/2023 5:45 PM PST). However, when a patron views their account in Library Card via Primo VE, due times display there in only 24-Hour format (ex. 02/25/2023, 17:45). Please have due times displayed within Library Card use the same format that is set in Alma.

Allowing the "I only need a specific chapter or pages" checkbox to be defaulted to ticked.
With the introduction of RapidILL, we have defaulted our resource sharing request form to have a format of "Digital". For consistency, we would also like to be able to have the "I only need a specific chapter or pages" checkbox default to being ticked so this matches the format.
The client could then choose to untick (which changes the form format to Physical) if they wish to request a loan.
Thanks
