Update the Primo RSS feed channel link to point to NUI, not the classic interface
Although this is a small issue this is confusing whenever we dispay a Primo RSS feed through a widget to our end users . I submitted this to support and was told that I should consider posting it on Ideas Exchange instead.
To see a sample alert RSS feed from our instance: https://senecacollege-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/newRss?rssId=1730438767&queryTerm=Concrete%20slabs%20--%20Design%20and%20construction&vid=01SENC&ver=2_1_4

pin password
Add the ability to control what fields display in the My Library Card | Update PIN / Password box dependent upon whether the User is an Internal or External user in Alma. Showing external users the option to change their password is confusing as their password is maintained outside of Primo/Alma.

Resultados de la búsqueda por índices
La página de resultados de la búsqueda por indices cuando el número de resultados es mayor de 20, no muestra el número de resultados sino que pone 20+. Para saber el múmero de resultados tienes que clickear y pasar a la siguiente pantalla. La propuesta de mejora es que mostrase el número de resultados desde la primera pantalla de respuesta.
Ejemplo: https://fama.us.es/discovery/browse?vid=34CBUA_US:VU1&browseQuery=historia%20de%20espa%C3%B1a&browseScope=subject.1&innerPnxIndex=-1&numOfUsedTerms=-1&fn=BrowseSearch3 votes -
Add a checkbox to the Resource Sharing form to show errors when searching
Our institution feels it would be beneficial to have a checkbox on the resource sharing form that allows a patron to select if they encountered an error when searching for an article/book. Often there are articles that will not open or maybe link to the wrong item. We want the patron to be able to let the library staff know they encountered a problem and are now requesting the text via ILL. This allows library staff to easily see what information the patron was trying to access and then troubleshoot why they were not able to access it.
This checkbox…3 votes -
Make user-created tags keyword searchable.
Currently, user-created tags are findable via the tag portal in the Ellipsis, or they can be searched in the Advanced Search by specifying the tag field. We would like to be able to make them keyword searchable in the basic search.

Change wording of "partial results found" error message
Currently when users enter too many boolean operatoCurrently when users enter too many boolean operators or trucation symbols in their search they will get the error message "Partial results found. Please note additional results may be available by refining your search. May we suggest: try reducing the numbers of ? and/or * in your search."
This error message is confusing. What it should really say is something like this:
"Your truncated search terms match too many words. The search cannot retrieve all of them so some records you might expect might be missing from the search results. If you can…3 votes -
Improve filtering when searching in Journals
When we try to filter by year for a journal with multiple locations, it goes to a screen that doesn't contain the filtered year. The search can end up looping back and forth, and one ends up having to click to find more items rather than getting to the year requested. Here is a document describing the situation, with screen shots:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hWFCi0Rw1-Pchdgdd3vOIt8egy-5U945G3uwO5JrHV0/edit?usp=sharing
I'm attaching the file in Word in case the shared document cannot be accessed. Thank you!

Extend the character limit for text fields in Vendor Licences.
Licences often have more than just one clause relating to that field. The character limit currently prohibits how much of the clause can be added to that field.

Make users more aware of results found in other search profile slots/ tabs
In most Primos, users can search in different search profile slots (Primo VE) or tabs (Primo with a BO), e.g. Library Catalogue, PCI, Everything. However, our users do not switch a lot between the different slots/tabs. The majority performs the whole session in the same slot/tab. In order to make the users more aware of the different slot/tabs and the different content in them, we suggest that on top of the results list the number of results in every defined slot/tab should be displayed. The displayed information should be a link, so that the users can easily switch to the…

Display item(s) cost in patron loan letters or My Account to show savings.
We'd like to be able to let patrons know how much money they saved by using the library as opposed to paying for books themselves. To do this, we'd like to be able to display item cost information (such as from the POL in Alma) for items loaned either in the Loan Letter or in the patron's account.

Show correct number of renewals in Primo and Aleph
In our testing Aleph, we set to allow unlimited number of renewals.
Item was already renewed for more than 9 times, the number of renewals shown in Aleph client and Primo were both stopped at 9.
We request Aleph and Primo to show the correct number of renewals.3 votes -
Make Primo retain search filters by default
It is currently possible to retain search filters in Primo by selecting individual ones and clicking "Make this filter persistent through this session". I believe the interface would be more user-friendly if all selected filters were retained by default, and would only be cleared if the user selected individual ones to remove or clicked the "Reset all" button.

Allow requestors to see new requested item due date from My Requests
In the My Requests area of my Library Card, the requestor does not see the new due date of the requested item, only that the request is “Not started. Place in queue is _”. It would helpful for the requestor to be able to see the due date, even if it isn't guaranteed that the item will be returned by the patron who has it on that date. Wording could be: "Currently on loan with a due date of [ ]. Your request is no. [ ] in queue.".

Reinstate asterisk wild card search
We used to be able to use an asterisk (*) for searching in advanced search combined with other pre-search filters such as language or material type. This was great for finding all titles in a particular language or all titles in a particular format. This has been removed. Please bring it back!

To have possible filtering FRBR groups to display only records that match with the search definition
it is important to have possible filtering FRBR groups to display only records that match with the search definition. It happens in recommended bibliography. They are reprints of the same book with the same ISBN, but students need only the last reprint. So, it would be useful to filter FRBR groups and display the last reprint not all of them.

Configure collection discovery to display in shelflist order
We are using Collection Discovery to create new books browsing for our top subject areas but it would be great if they could display in shelflist order so like books group together.
What we really want is a low maintenance bookshelf browse feature which auto populates with new resources and removes the old. Anyway, display in LCC or some shelflist order would be good, even if the call number is hidden (because many are ebooks and it might confuse patrons).3 votes -
