Ability to merge local data with cdi records
We currently export Imperial Open Access Spiral material to CDI and Primo VE. This means in Primo VE we show duplicate records for all our Open Access Spiral Records. One from the local source and one from CDI. This is not the best user experience. It is also confusing for library staff working on Spiral Records in Primo VE.

Archival materials misleadingly accessible via ILL
When searching my institution's PrimoVE instance with the "Add results beyond your library's collection" box checked (it is checked by default), users are getting search results that include archival and special collections materials from other institutions. Users who log in can request these items via EZBorrow or ILL, but this is misleading because archival and special collections materials do not circulate and cannot be checked out or delivered to another library. These requests will always be denied and cause some confusion for users and library staff. We're concerned that users will be at best confused by having this option seemingly…

EBooks from "Initiative E-Books.NRW" to CDI
As part of "Initiative E-Books.NRW" from the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft NRW we now have access to about 100.000 E-Books from several providers. The Ministerium published a press release of this issue in January (https://www.mkw.nrw/presse/e-books-nrw).
We don't want to put the metadata into our local system, because the access to the content is limited to 3 years. After the 3 years we may have access to content that was frequently asked. For now it is not clear, which content that may be.
We would appreciate to have this metadata in the CDI to make it easier for…

add vernacular title to exported records in Primo VE
hi,
in primo back office it's possible to use a mapping table to add the display/vertitle field to exports to RefWorks and RIS but the export mappings in Primo VE seem to be fixed and the equivalent of the vertitle field is not included. this should be a straightforward addition and provide much better exported references for users - thanks for considering!

display logic should allow us to block Resource Sharing Request if the item is an ebook
As more and more ebooks are offered and indexed in CDI, we need a way to block the UW Request from showing for these. At this time Resource sharing is not equipped to handle the loaning of entire ebooks. So we need users to use different options and unfortunately we do not have a way to block the RS request when an item is an ebook

New records facet according to Inventary record
Primo VE facet for New records (last month, last week) retrieves records according to the bibliographic record creation date.
The problem in some institutions is it takes an average of one month from when the record is created until it is available to the user, therefore, the new records that are available in the last week for the user appear under the last month facet or even, sometimes, in the last three months.We ask for theese facets take into account the Inventory Date instead of the Bibliographic Record Creation Date

Treat "and" and "&" (ampsersand) as interchangeable for the purposes of FRBR
There might be multiple local (i.e. repository) records for different editions of a book, where the title field of some editions features the word "and", but the title field of other editions features the character "&". At the moment, this results in two FRBR groups for that book on Primo VE - one group for the editions with "and" and another group for the editions with "&".
When determining FRBR groups for local (i.e. repository) records, "and" and "&" should be treated interchangeably, so that all editions of a book will be grouped together, even if the title has changed…

Radio buttons on the Resource Sharing item request form on Primo VE
On the Resource Sharing item request form on Primo VE the 'Citation type' radio buttons can't be altered.
Our library would like for the 'Article' radio button to be first, before the 'Book' option, and for it to be pre-selected as the default.
Also, with the 'Format' radio buttons at the bottom of the form we would like to hide both the 'Physical' and 'Photocopy' buttons, but keep the 'Digital' one visible and selected. This is so that our users are aware that their request will be supplied to them digitally.

General Electronic Service - Additional Display location
In Primo VE you can set up a General Electronic Service (GES) to display in Primo VE under
Getit & How to Getit
Viewit and How to Getit
Getit, Viewit & How to Getit
How to Getit only
NoneFor when you only want a GES to display on an ebook or electronic resource, the display option doesn't give this option, but you can for physical items.
Idea is for there to be more options under display locations to make a far easier and straightwards option to select specific displays, specifically Viewit ONLY

Add ability to customize what appears in MyInst_and_Cl (Search everything) scope.
We recently went live with Esploro's Research Repository and have been adding assets for faculty and staff publications, including theses and books that already exist as separate records in Alma. We recently noticed that these records from Esploro are automatically included in our MyInstandCl (Search everything) scope in Primo VE, resulting in duplication of theses and book records. Attached is a screenshot of a duplicate record in Primo VE. Note that the second is listed as an ebook when it is not an ebook (a salesforce case exists for this issue).
Esploro records are separate from Alma records,…

Ability to limit by type of material the view of digitization request in Primo
In our institution we would like to have the ability to apply a new parameter in the display logic rules of PRIMO based on material type. For instance to show the digitization form link only for specifics types such journals or reports, but not for books.
I hope this idea seems interesting for the Primo community.Many thanks

Primo VE: Approve/Reject user created tags before adding to display
We want to enable user created tags in Primo VE, however, we need the ability to screen tags BEFORE they get displayed. Currently, tags are on display as soon as they are added.
Ideally, users would "Suggest a Tag" which is initially in a 'hidden' status. At the Manage Tags screen, there would be a checkbox or toggle switch to Approve or Reject each tag.

Show ALL data recorded in faceted fields
When a search is done on a faceted field, not all the possible results in any given facet are shown. There is no logical resulting display of faceted values. For example, if one searches for the keyword "Novels" in our sandbox, and then goes to the Creator Demographic Group facet (data from MARC 386 field), you get a choice of some terms like Algerians (53), Americans (1464), Austrians (353) and so on. But Canadians and Germans are not shown in this list, even though there are many records that have 386 Canadians or Germans. If you do a keyword search…

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.

Registros OA en Primo VE
Actualmente Primo VE muestra registros como OA cuando los mismos refieren a enlaces de recursos suscriptos por la biblioteca.
Una solución podría ser la de eliminar el icono de OA, pero este cambio aplica para todos los registros, incluyendo los que efectivamente enlazan con recursos de OA, de momento no es posible modificar un registro en particular o un conjunto.
Esperamos que se pueda solucionar este problema y que los registros que enlazan a recursos suscriptos no muestren el icono de OA.

Have Location Facet appear ONLY AFTER a Library facet is selected
For large library systems, many locations of stacks, eg. exist making the location facet appear very confusing to users. The LibraryLocation facet is problematic because many library locations are beyond the limit of 20 that's possible to view.
