  3. Show unnormalized facet Academic Department in PRIMO VE

    We want the PRIMO VE shows the Facet as an unnormalized text as we see in ALMA.

    It only displays the initial letter of each word in uppercase and removes hyphens and other punctuation marks.

    For example in ALMA we see a Academic department "FCS- Nutrició" and in the Primo VE now we see as "Fcs Nutrició"

  4. Suppress ellipsis in journals holdings summary

    When journals holdings are displayed in Primo VE, if the holding record has the field 866 (configured in Discovery> Holdings Display Configuration), is shown three points (ellipsis) that lead the user to think that we are still receiving issues but really the journal is not open. this.
    Example: https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886043803706 https://www.screencast.com/t/sIu1QtKv0

    However, when the holdings record does not have this 866 field, it does not display the three dots.
    Example https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886281903706 https://www.screencast.com/t/NUcSikfAK

    We believe that these three points should disappear since with the link "See more" the user can see the additional information corresponding to field 866) and not show ...…

  5. Ability to search non-english (especially Scandinavian) characters in local data and CDI data in a consistent way

    A growing number of Central Discovery Index (CDI) sources contain the original non-english characters for specific languages, e.g. Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish) letters such as æ,ä, ø, ö and å. Searching the original Scandinavian letters works for both local and CDI data. However, searching non-English letters are cumbersome for foreign users. There are different ways to anglicize these characters. The traditional Scandinavian way is to use a "folded variant": "ä" -> "ae", "ö" -> "oe", etc. However, this only works for local data (institution zone). CDI use the method of simply removing the dots: "ä" -> "a", "ö" -> "o",…

  7. Poder configurar la ordenación de los items/holdings en Primo VE

    Primo no permite configurar la ordenación de los holdings o de los items asociados a un holding en la Vista completa del registro (sección Get It).
    En nuestro caso, tenemos holdings diferentes asociados a una misma ubicación y biblioteca. Primo VE no permite ordenar estos holdings por signatura (ver en la imagen adjunta el ejemplo número 1).
    Por otra parte, hay casos en los que muchos items dependen de un mismo holding. En este caso nos gustaría que se pudieran ordenar por disponibilidad, es decir, que se mostraran en primer lugar los items disponibles. En el ejemplo 2 del documento…

  9. Ability to merge deduped records in Primo VE

    In Primo VE, you can currently choose to display a preferred dedup record (in the full and brief display), either from Alma-P, Alma-E or Alma-D (or none, and the first record to show up in the result list will display).

    We would like to add the option to merge all local records. This is the default behaviour in Primo classic.

  11. Display on the Location list: textual descriptions of the physical arrangement of a holding unit

    Since the updates in January 2021, the Location list has become capable of displaying the Field 866, 852, etc.
    There are cases in which the issues of a single journal title are located separately according to publication years. Here we present a case example to explain the situation:
    Group 1: The issues published in the last several years; they are shelved in the “New Arrival.”
    Group 2: The issues published several years before the Group 1; they are shelved in the “Back Numbers.”
    Group 3: The issues published more than 20 years ago; they are shelved in the “Remote Storage.”

  12. Allow Local Fields as filters for NZ Search Scopes

    When setting up a custom scope we found the "Local fields" option was not available in the dropdown list if we choose scope population "Entire Network".
    The "Local fields" option is available in the dropdown list if we choose scope population"My Institution".

    We think the "Local fields" option should be available for scope population "Entire Network" as well because we can set up up to 10 local search fields in the NZ and they would be used in the scope definition.

    This would allow consortia to exclude specific resources from the NZ scopes based on values in the NZ local…

  14. 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.

  16. Primo VE's paganation feature choises also to the top of results

    Primo VE's new pagination feature's options to change to another page should be added also to the top of results. Or maybe the choise could be floating at the bottom of the page, visible all the time.
    Now if you have chosen 50 results per page the choises are pretty long way down.

  17. 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.

    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.

  20. Improve phrase searching "Highlight"

    When using phrase search, please do not highlight partial words or letters.
    Please highlight only the exact phrase which use for the search terms.
    For example, if a patron searches for "traffic accident", please highlight just "traffic accident" and do not highlight "traffic" or "accident".
    Please check the phrase search results your Primo VE.
    You can find that word-level highlighting makes the search results confusing.
