  1. Physical items sort routine by date - enable I J K descending, but A B C descending

    Hi
    We're running into a problem with the Physical items sort routine - Sort according to date.

    For journals, we want to sort the latest item on top, this works correctly with
    Sort according to chronology I/U/K (year/month/day) - Descending

    Example
    https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/fulldisplay?vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&search_scope=UBS&tab=UBS&docid=alma9910177740105504&lang=en&context=L

    BUT
    The same sort routine is also used for multi volume monographs.
    We found out that if we only fill out conditions for Chronology I J K, but those fields are empty, the barcode gets used for sorting.
    Which leads to wrong sorts.

    So we had to add
    Enumeration A, B, C as a condition.

    This leads to…

  2. Availability status for webhooks

    The availability status for Primo Search Webhook records (such as for Newsbank) is always "Check for available services." Our users are accustomed to seeing this status when materials are not available full text online, and we would like the availability status to better indicate that full text is available. It would be great if the default display could be changed to "Available online" for these materials or if we had the ability to modify the display only for webhooks.

  3. Permit creation of a stable URL that would lead to a simple search with all records limited by any facets, e.g., location.

    We'd like to create stable links to entire collections for use on our website, guides and course shells. For example, a link that leads to all records with a given location.

    This is currently possible for Advanced Search with a pre-filter. But users are distracted by Advanced Search's space and complexity, which pushes the results down the page. And if there are multiple languages or material types, the pre-filters would be overly restrictive.

  4. Give customers the option to have a custom multilingual file for synonyms and compound words.

    We are a multilingual network, catering to four languages. It is very important to us to ensure that customers find the same resources regardless of the UI language they use. As one of our UI languages does not have a synonyms file, it is currently not possible for us to incorporate synonyms beyond those included by default in our Primo, as this would lead to differing search results for this language. We would like this to be solved by allowing customers to use a dedicated multilingual file for synonyms, compound words etc. that they can customize to their needs.
