Recuperar en búsqueda avanzada por título el campo 740, desde la opción de Comienza por
En búsqueda avanzada, por título, con la opción "Título comienza por" recuperamos los campos marc 130 y 245, pero no el campo 740. El campo 740 únicamente se recupera eligiendo la opción "titulo contiene". Solicitamos que el 740 tenga las mismas opciones de recuperación en PrimoVE que los campos 130 y 245.

Add document delivery transactions to Requests tab in 'My Account'
Current digitization (document delivery/digitization) requests are shown when requests are in process. I would like docdel and digitization requests to be available in the Requests tab until they are expired.
Ideally, a download button would be available while the document is available ( before the doc expires or max views has been exceeded) and the number of remaining views is displayed (see image).

Remove Pickup location entry from digitization entry in my requests
When digitization requests are in process, a pickup location is displayed. This doesn't make sense for something that is a digitization or document delivery request, since there is nothing to "pickup". I realize this is a holdover from the photocopy days, but perhaps it might make more sense if patrons had the option to request physical delivery for a digitization request ("request physical copy") and ask them to designate a pickup location rather than having users assign a pickup location for all digital requests.

Requesting at artcle level optional
In our library we do not carry out article level requests for print journals. Our patrons can only request issues. But Primo shows the Get It section for articles where there is a print record for the journal. We do want the Get It section on the journal, but not on the article level. It would be nice if the individual library could decide wethter to show ********* articles or not.

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.

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 everyone. We would like the ability to configure this link in a similar way to how we can configure other links in the UI (such as the General Electronic Services links) using service availability rules.

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 so currently. The "Citation Available" availability statements in place for a limited number of databases (see documentation "What does 'Citation Available' availability statement in PC records mean?" https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Knowledge_Articles/What_does_Citations_Available_availability_statement_in_PC_records_mean) might help, or any other way of opting in to Citation-only content.
