ILL link on missing holdings
Currently GETIT ILL links won't appear on a citation when any range of print holdings are owned locally, even if the issue from the citation is not held. Please allow an option that allows a path to an ILL form when the issue needed is not locally held.

Feedback Tool: don't pre-select the first option
When I open the feedback tool, the focus is on the first option.
None of the options should be selected when I first open the widget. See screenshots.

Add a top-level "Discipline" facet based on the complete HILCC Hierarchy
I see that a "Journals by Category" feature was recently added, but it only appears on the journal search screen, and appears to omit much of the HILCC - for example, there is no category for "Performing Arts", much less for specific performing arts like "Dance" which we're used to seeing in Summon.

Que Primo tenga en cuenta todos los tipos de comillas posibles
Actualmente sólo el carácter UTF-8 22 (UNICODE 0022) se considera como comilla en las búsquedas Primo. Se trata del carácter ", accesible mediante Mayúsculas-2 en la mayoría de los teclados.
Pero otros dispositivos y telcados utilizan otros tipos de caracteres, que Primo no tiene en consideración a la hora de ejecutar las búsquedas, y así, cuando se introduce una búsqueda entre comillas, los resultados varían según el dispositivo que utilice cada usuario, porque si Primo no detecta que esos caracteres son comillas, combina las palabras de búsqueda con el operador OR.
Entendemos que es necesario que Primo tenga en cuenta…1 vote -
book reviews- link to book
Book reviews can be useful, but frustrating for the patron. I would like to see the actual book info linked from the review, so the patron can request a purchase or ILL easily.

Include authentication in QR Code link for favourites
On Primo VE you can generate a QR Code for the page you are viewing.
If the page is a search the QR Code link works, once scanned the search is replicated.
If the page is from your account, LibraryCare, My Loans, My Requests, when the code is scanned it invokes authentication.However, for Favourites, when the code is scanned it shows a "blank" screen if the user isn't already authenticated on the scanning device.
I would like to propose that the link generated for Favourites invokes authentication in the same way as pages for Loans, Requests etc,

Allow the view code field to be editable
To enable seamless updates to the Primo interface it would be useful for the Code for the view to be editable.
This would allow you to continue to use the same public address for your Primo instance, but switch the view to a new one by changing the code in the Back Office. For example, it would allow you to switch from a the current live view to a new one.
Currently the field cannot be edited (see screenshot).

"Show Source Record" to users with Alma Staff Role only
Although we can now display the MARC record in the UI using the "Show source records" we feel this feature is only really useful for Library staff and not for the vast majority of users who will not find it useful and will just add clutter to the full record for the majority. Ideally we would like the "Show source records" to be linked to the Alma library staff role so it will only display when our library staff are logged into Primo.
Currently the only option to display this link in the UI is to have it appear for…

Opening results in a new tab - stop it defaulting to the top of the list
In the new Library Search, every time I open a search result in a new tab, the list of results resets to the top of the list. This is very annoying, especially if i have already had to load 3 or more pages of results.

Automatic sync of library codes with scopes and static facets
The Library Codes on the Institution page are currently automatically copied to the Library Names code table and the ILS Library Codes mapping table, which is great.
We would like to have an option to automatically sync these library codes also with the Scopes and Search Scopes (used for searching, and Location drop-down lists) and Static Library facets mapping table, in order to eliminate the need for manually updating all library codes in the scopes and static facets.0 votes -
Option to have patron block notes viewable in Primo
Currently, you can include a note in a patron's block in Alma, but that note won't display in Primo. You have the option of creating a separate note in the patron's record that is viewable, and the block type will provide the patron with some information, but it would be nice if we had the option to include a user-viewable note when creating the block.

Add Limiter to Select PCI Collections in Primo VE Advanced Searches
I'd like to suggest that libraries have the option of adding a limiter to the advanced search area of Primo VE that would allow users to pre-select particular PCI indexes to search. Currently, this can only be done by applying the limiters once search results have been generated.
It would be beneficial if users had the option of pre-selecting which PCI collections to search prior to actually running the search.

Prevent OTB icons from loading before custom icons
Although Primo customers have the option of using custom resource type icons, the out-of-the-box icons still load momentarily before being replaced by the custom icons. This enhancement would prevent the OTB icons from loading for customers who opt to use their own icons.

Allow custom "Username" and "Password" labels when using multiple modes of authentication
For institutions using multiple modes of authentication (such as LDAP for externally-managed users and Alma for internally-managed users), it is not currently possible to customize the "Username" and "Password" labels to have custom labels display for each authentication method. The "User Login" code table only provides one field for customizing the username or password, which displays for all methods of authentication. It would be more helpful to all users (and particularly internally-managed users) if we could specify on the login page which information users should enter as their "username" and "password."

Add records from Citation-only databases and/or "Citation Availability" statements
We need to give our users access to the wide range of content to which we subscribe, including the records in citation-only databases. If we subscribe to a resource and activate it in Alma, we would like these resources to be included in our "Filter by availability" searches in Primo VE -- even if the content is citation rather than full article text. When we "expand my results", too much additional content (such as non-licensed ebooks from selected packages) are included. We want to be able to include citation records but exclude inaccessible content. There isn't a way to do…

add date/time stamps to indexing & hotswapping sections of Job Details Report
In the job details reports, where indexing and hotswapping are reported, there is no date/time stamp to indicate how long these portions of the job took to run. It's useful for guesstimating the length of a process before we start it and other sections like FRBR and DeDup include this information

Please provide an option to search items from sub-collections together
Please provide an option to search items from sub-collections together. Now users only can search the items in the current collection but usually the items in sub-collections are also relevant result for the search query. Some may think they can just go back to the basic search page and search again but the others would think it's uncomfortable because they are already familiar with Windows File search function.

Display order of portfolio at Catalogue (can we prioritize the links to be displayed?)
For title with multiple portfolios, come from different platforms, I wonder if there is any way to prioritize the links according to our needs, e.g.
Criteria 1: portfolio with access to the current issues will be displayed first, instead of the portfolio with closed holdings.
Criteria 2: purchase portfolio will be displayed before the free access portfolios
Criteria 3: platform with less broken link reports received will be displayed before the one with more broken link reports

Collection Discovery – enable alphabetical sort for each language
Hi
We are planning to use collection discovery by subject area and would like to sort the collection overview page alphabetically by title of collection.
Our Primo VE interface is multilingual. We'd like to translate the collection names, with correct alphabetical sort in all interface languages.
At the moment this is not possible: alphabetical sort is by the English titles.

Enable/disable the article quote in Brief results
Brief results often show a quote/snippet for an article (see screenshot). In Primo VE it is currently not possible to enable/disable this. We would like to see this configuration option. All the other fields are customizable, why not this one?
