Contextual Relationships - chapters
- Only display chapters for the volume being viewed, i.e. chapters from vol. 2 of the Cambridge Ancient History rather than chapters from all the volumes (230 in all!)
- Display chapters in page number order ( we can’t figure out the logic behind the current order of display)
- For multi-volume titles, a “other volumes in this title” link in addition to other chapters from the same volume

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.

Improve Analytics support for user-created tags in Primo/Primo VE.
We would like to better understand the impact of user-created tags on user behavior, particularly as we (staff) use tags to help identify material in our collections. Specifically we would like to see the following information:
How frequently do people search using tags?
*How many searches are conducted through the tag portal (available in the ellipsis)
*How many times do people click on tags within records and thus get to the full listing of records with that tag appliedCan we cross-reference items that have tags with their item use?
A report showing all the tags being used/searched.

Add Zotero Support for Alma Services Page
The Zotero plugin uses a showPNX flag that outputs the metadata in an XML format that Primo and PrimoVE use.
However, Services Pages do not hold the PNX information and can therefore not work with the Zotero plug-in. This is true for Summon-over-Alma/PrimoVe and Primo customers when using the services page.
Please add support for Zotero.

Introduce Nested Faceting in "Refine My Results"
Currently, it is possible to create new facets in the "Refine My Results" section with a little bit of work. Is there a way that nested facets could be introduced to this section? For example, there might be a facet titled "video" with the option of expanding this to introduce sub-facets like DVD, VHS, Film, Bluray, eVideo, etc. Or, under the facet "book" we would have the option of expanding this to introduce sub-facets like print book, eBook, Thesis/dissertation, Microform, Large print, Braille book, etc.

Adding of Primo collection to Leganto

The Primo collection link added to Leganto will not go into the exact collection, it goes to a list of all collection instead.

Auto correct typos
Primo search should have the ability to auto correct common spelling errors and typos.
A current review of our zero result searches has shown that many zero result searches are typos and misspellings.
Users are used to systems that can auto-correct or suggest corrections for misspelled words.
Auto correct of typos would greatly improve the user experience.13 votesHello All,

Extend hypertext linking for Relation, Is Part Of, and Uniform Title to remote records
Enhanced hypertext linking for ispartof, relation, and unititle was introduced in the November 2017 Primo Release. These new fields joined existing hypertext linked fields for creator, contributor, and subject.
However, a key difference for the three newer fields is that they only show lateral links in the UI for local records. This limitation is hardcoded, and is confirmed but not explained (Case: 00486499).
Like many sites, we have configured our Primo environment without search scopes with a source-agnostic design, with the underlying premise that users do not care who owns an item or where the record comes from, only that…13 votesHello All,

PrimoVE : Allow splitting Dublin Core Fields
As we have set up Discovery import profiles to import Dublin Core data from other institutions into our PrimoVE instance, we have discovered a few institutions that concatenate the DC:CREATOR and DC:SUBJECT fields into a single field.
The ability to split these fields in normalization would be extremely useful in the Primo environment.

Permalinks as real persistent URI's for digital objects
Add an option to present permalinks for digital objects as real system independent permanent identifier URI's to the digital object itself.
The term "permalink" is misleading. Current permalinks are not persistent links. They link to Primo records and they only work as long as the institution offers Primo. And then Primo BO permalinks do not work for Primo VE, if the library did not use Alma before.
For digital objects, the users are really only interested in the links to the actual object. So it would be better if permalinks would use existing persistent identifier URI's, like DOI's (available for…

Enhanced logo and help link for social authentication page
We are in the process of migrating to Alma/Primo VE. They both share the same social authentication page, and this idea is to enhance the options for this page.
1.) The Primo VE help links which are configurable in Alma config > Discovery > Authentication > User Authentication only appear in the Alma authentication option. If a new patron clicks Sign in, and then clicks Social Sign In, they will never see our help links. I would like to have the option to put a help link on the first Sign in modal page, or on the Social Authentication page…

Browse by government document call number
Currently, we don't have the option of browsing call numbers in the 086 field in Primo VE. This is a problem for the many libraries who work with government documents and use government documents call number schemes. Being able to search for single call numbers doesn't help for tasks where you need a list ordered by call numbers (like taking inventory, weeding, and assigning new call numbers). Please add a government documents call number browse index.
