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.

Show both in-text and reference citation formats for APA 7
With version 7 of the American Psychological Association (APA 7) citation format, there are two formats: one for in-text and one for reference citations.
The first (in-text) is to be used within the body of the text; the second (reference) is to be used in a bibliography.
There are differences between the two styles. For more information on the differences, please see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations and https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references.
It looks like when Primo uses the Citation Style Language (CSL) Repository (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles) to add styles, it only picks up the In-text format citation from the APA 7 definition on the CSL…

Publish synonym list for hosted non-VE customers in Primo documentation
It was announced in the Primo mailing lists during August 2021 that the list of synonyms for Primo VE had now been added to the documentation page.
The equivalent documentation for non-VE Primo customers such as us is at:
As hosted customers, however, we still can't see the contents of the synonym files as described, as we don't have that sort of server level access. Therefore we are unable to determine:
(i) whether the non-VE synonym list bears direct comparison to the VE list,
(ii) if it does not, where the differences lie.
Significant staff time is taken up…

Data accompanying article
How will you keep datasets or articles being lost because they share the time title? It is becoming more and more common for articles to have accompanying data and from your description of match and merge, it seems that this may result in either the dataset or the article being excluded from search results. Thanks for considering!

Select languages for Primo VE UI that would be different than choices for Alma UI.
Currently all languages used in Alma (for staff) are automatically presented as the UI languages in Primo VE.
I would like to be able to manage the choices separately, so that we can choose to remove, or to add languages for Primo VE UI. Also, we should be able to sort the language choices in the order we prefer, based on the language in which the UI is open.
Thank you for your support.1 vote -

Add 12-Hour Due Times Display in Library Card
Currently, per a setting in Alma, due times in Alma and Primo VE can be set to display in the 12-Hour format (ex. 02/25/2023 5:45 PM PST). However, when a patron views their account in Library Card via Primo VE, due times display there in only 24-Hour format (ex. 02/25/2023, 17:45). Please have due times displayed within Library Card use the same format that is set in Alma.

Support the use of wildcards within phrase searches
At present, the use of wildcards within a phrase search is not supported in CDI. This functionality is supported when searching local records only but does not work when searching CDI or using a blended scope. Since the goal of discovery is to provide a single point of access to local and remote collections, it follows that both indexes should support the same search functionality and operators.

Allowing the "I only need a specific chapter or pages" checkbox to be defaulted to ticked.
With the introduction of RapidILL, we have defaulted our resource sharing request form to have a format of "Digital". For consistency, we would also like to be able to have the "I only need a specific chapter or pages" checkbox default to being ticked so this matches the format.
The client could then choose to untick (which changes the form format to Physical) if they wish to request a loan.
Thanks

holdings information search "starts with"
When searching for Holdings Information in advanced search then changing the operator option to "Starts with", changes the search to Title rather than holding information.
The "starts with" operator should only be an option when the user is using the Title Search operator.1 vote -

Show item availablity on the top level for 'Group Locations by Library in Get It'
In April 2022 we got the "Group Locations by Library in Get It" feature: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Release_Notes/002Primo_VE/2022/010Primo_VE_2022_Release_Notes#Group_Locations_by_Library_in_Get_It-98574
To save users' time when it comes to finding out whether an item is available or not, would it be possible to show the item availability already on the top level, for each library? Color coding wouldn't hurt either, indicating instantly whether a location has the item available or not.
A rough example in the attached files.
