Improved Support of multilingual elements for external data sources in Primo VE
For Dublin Core and Generic XML records that contain multilingual content, Primo VE should display the values of the associated fields according to the user's language when the language code is available as an attribute in the Dublin Core elements.
For instance:
<dc:subject xml:lang="fre">Phonotèque/dc:subject <dc:subject xml:lang="ita">Fonoteca/dc:subject8 votesHello All,

Calculated availability for non-full text records in digital imports from repositories
In Primo VE, institution repositories are limited to one label. For example, a link to the full online resource or a link to the physical resource are both labelled as ‘Full Text Available’.
This is a problem, as not all repositories are the full text, some repositories may just be an abstract.
Primo's label options are better, it is clearer to the user by the various different labels, for example ‘Full text available’ or ‘No full text’.
We would like Primo VE to have the various different labels, like Primo.

Extend the limit on the Summary Holdings Display to more than 10 holdings.
If a title is held at more than 10 locations, its holdings summary will not appear on the Locations page—however, the more locations, the higher demand for checking the range of the coverage. Therefore, please display all summary holdings regardless of the number of holdings.

Increase security for option to delete a view in Primo VE
Right now it is all too easy to delete a Primo VE view. If the option to delete a view is accidentally clicked on the drop down menu, a confirmation message appears with the "confirm" option highlighted. A confused user might click enter to get rid of the message without reading the message. This happened to us recently. A user who selects the delete option should have to type in the view code to confirm deletion. This extra step would help to prevent accidental deletion.

Provide a link to a help page for Unpaywall links in Primo VE
We are using the Unpaywall Quicklink to display open access links in our search results in Primo VE. The links themselves show that they are provided by the Unpaywall API, but we think that most users are not familiar with this service's name and functionality, so we would like to be able to provide more information to them. For example we would like to provide a link to a help page explaining what Unpaywall is and how it works.
Using JS customization, we have tried to add a link to a under the Unpaywall link, but the scope in which…12 votesHello All,

Filter collections (in Primo) to show 'online' or 'physical' items
Currently, when you click into a collection on Primo, there are a few sorting options (relevance, date, title, author), but it would be useful to let users see only 'online' items or only 'physical' items (libraries with more than one site may want to let users see physical items at particular sites).

TOU should be hidden when users Not logged in.
In Primo VE, when a user is logged in, the TOU according to the user's category is displayed. However, when the user is not logged in, the TOU could be displayed as "Loanable" even if the book is loanable only to faculty members. When the user is not logged in, the TOU should be hidden.

Allow the available figure for Physical items to be configured
The available figure in Primo for Physical items includes all items which are not on loan. We want to be able to exclude items with certain item policies or item locations from this figure.
These items will still be displayed within Primo but will not be included in the available count.3 votesHello All,

300a (total number of pages) should put in PNX for exporting RIS/Mendeley.
Currently, Primo VE does not export total number of pages of books, which is nessesary for some styles, to RIS and Mendeley. We opened a case and asked Support to fix this, and got the answer following.
”The Product Management team has discussed this further and consider this is an enhancement request. A possible solution is to set a new rule to take, for books only, the pages information from 300a and include it in the PNX addata/pages field."
We thought the total number of pages should be included in PNX. Please support this idea.

Apply Controlled Vocabulary Service to Primo Browse
Currently, the Controlled Vocabulary Service is only applied to Primo Search. With the CVS, when users search for a term like "heart attack", they see both the list of all results and a message at the top of the results saying "Including 'myocardial infarction'. Just search 'heart attack'". This allows the user to specify which terms are in use, and to narrow them to just the specific term searched for if desired. Primo Browse lacks this service, and only returns precise results, but it would still be useful for users to be presented with an option to instead see similar…

Reflect "Unpaywall API respons" in the availability of the title list.
Current system behavior
Unpaywall API response has no impact on the 'Full text online' indication of the title list..What is this problem?
Even titles that can be accessed with unpaywall are not displayed as "[Available online]", it makes problem for users to understand.

Reflect "Unpaywall API respons" in the availability of the title list.
This improvement will enhance users' access to information.11 votesHello All,

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.

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.

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) - DescendingBUT
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…

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.
