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.

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?

Customise Purchase Request form by material type
We are setting up our different forms, and one thing that I would love to see for the Purchase Request form in future is the ability to restrict which material types are able to be requested, and also to add a different material type as a radio button.
In our form, we don't want patrons to be able to request to purchase journals, but we would like to have the option for them to select DVD (or just AV items as a general category) instead.

Journal Search results should display dates of access not dates of publication
When performing the Journal Search, the results are displaying dates of publication NOT displaying dates of access which is confusing our users thinking we have access to the entirety of the journals instead of just partial years.
1989-2006 is the dates of available publication. We only subscribe to 2000-2006.
Currently the only way around this is to modify the bib record, which could not be done since this is a CZ record.
I would like to see either the ability to add the dates of access to the brief results or have the capability to remove the…

Show printed holdings in brief display when both printed and electronic exist
When having articles with both printed and electronic holdings the printed holdings doesn't get displayed in Brief Display until you click to the Full Display. If you then return to Brief Display you will see the printed holdings. Look at screencast: https://www.screencast.com/t/6v3E0HBQ The printed holdings should be displayed directly in Brief Display without having to click to full display.

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…

Show more than 10 records in My Favorites

Navigation within My Favorites should be more user-friendly
Navigation within My Favorites is tedious: When a favorite is removed or when the list is relabeled, you always go to the top of the list instead of the original starting point.

Primo VE: need for an option to Show All Items from a location

Primo VE: Record elements tag field in file splitter of generic XML discovery import profiles to support X-Path
In discovery import profiles for Primo VE, generic XML profiles do not currently support X-Path within the Record elements tag of the file splitter.
This means that XML source files which contain a multi-layered structure within records are not accepted by Primo VE on import. The file then has to be manually transformed to remove the extra layer before importing.
For example, a XML file generated from one of our external systems pulls in data for some fields from additional tables to the bulk of the record, adding an extra layer to the record e.g.
root element: <table>
record element:…6 votesHello All,

Add Due Date/other Variables to Real Time Availability Status in Brief Records
November 2020 Primo VE release broadened the Availability Status messages in Brief Results.

Enable the addition of referencing style to the results list by email
In Summon, you can select the format of your results list before emailing it to yourself or another person. Eg. You want to view your search results in APA format, or AGLC, etc., and also have the link sent to you for each item in the list.
This functionality would be a great addition to Primo VE.

Possibility to disactivate related link to physical holding (based on ISSN) for articles
On Primo VE, when a CDI record contains an ISSN that matches physical holdings (ie. the catalog contains a physical version of the journal that contains this article), it will automatically add on this record a GetIt section with the related physical holdings.
Example:
This can be disturbing for the user (and even for librarians), as the get it section shown for this article record contains all the issues in the holding associated with the ISSN, and not only the one containing the article. When the library detains many items in the related physical holding, it doesn't help much…
