Make Primo Analytics network folder available for consortia members
Make the Primo Analytics network folder available to consortia members' Primo Analytics catalogs the way it is for Alma Analytics. This would make it possible to share Primo Analytics reports to all members without adding the report to the shared community folder or copying the report to each institutions' local folder.

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!

CDI indexing non-published "articles"
We are having an issue of posts to the journal/magazine's website being added to our discovery instance as a result of CDI. The linking for these items inevitably fails as the item is not actually part of the journal/magazine and was never published as part of it.
We would like to ask for such items to be excluded from CDI indexing.
An example of an article with this problem: https://thediplomat.com/2020/08/was-your-face-mask-made-using-forced-labor-in-china/

Ability to expand all sections in the get it section by default
User Story: Many of our librarians use Primo to search for our records. They would prefer to be able to see the barcode information on all items in the get it section. As soon as they open the record. Rather than having to click each one, show the extra information.
Solution: we are requesting the ability to have all items to be expanded by default in a specific view. So that library staff can see the item information, once they open the record.3 votesHello All,

Ability to move search by voice or add more space between the three buttons
It would be useful to be able to move the "search by voice" function or expand the space between it and other buttons. As currently it is too close to the submit search button and cancel search button. Meaning that students and staff sometimes click on this accidently. It would be useful to be able to move this or make the spaces between these three items a bit larger. So these accidently clicks didn't keep happening.

Request forms for Booking request and hold request in Primo VE each need their own template
In Primo VE the booking request form uses the same template as the (hold) physical request. The info message (form description) is the same… However, we would need to have a different form description, as we have right now in Primo Classic. In our institution, instructions for booking requests are very different! Because of this different functionality, we hope a solution can be found to give a different user guidance for both types of requests.

Define preferred pickup location in personal details of my account
As a user of a large library network, I usually pick up the books I loan at library Z. When making a request I have to scroll down or use the search function in order to find library Z at the bottom of the very long list of pickup locations.
I would like a new feature, so that I can define my preferred pickup location as library Z in the personal details of my account. So, my preferred pickup location would always be displayed at the very top of the list of pickup locations. Plus, I could see at one…

Integrate Retraction Watch data into CDI article records
We would like to see metadata on retracted articles incorporated to CDI/Primo from the Retraction Watch database (https://retractionwatch.com). While some CDI records indicate in titles that the articles have been retracted, not all do -- this appears to be provider-dependent. Adding a metadata element to indicate retracted status would make it possible to flag retracted articles visibly and consistently, and to create a facet/filter for retracted articles.

Add an attachment icon picture besides the item of the attachment.
Add an attachment icon picture besides the item of the attachment.
In Primo, readers often can not distinguish the difference of the book and the attachment of the book(ex: CD-ROM). So readers often request the barcode number of the attachment of the book first wrongly, and then find that they really want to request the book instead of the attachment of book(CD-ROM). I suggest the system can show an attachment icon picture(Ex: paper clip) besides the item of the attachment. It can help readers distinguish the types of the items(book or CD-ROM attachment) quickly and request the types of the…

Preferred record for dedup and frbr to also apply to list of versions
Following the implementation of an earlier idea exchange item that Primo VE should allow to set the preferred record for dedup and frbr records, we would also like this setting to be used for records that you get when viewing the list of versions.
What we are seeing is that only the top level in the brief results applies these settings, but when you go into list of versions to find a specific edition, you then might be presented with either record as the preferred record if you hold both e and print for this edition.

Restrict display of digital collections by campus in views
In the same way that you can allow/disallow the display of electronic resources like ebooks in a specific view in Primo VE based on the campus of the view.
You should be able to restrict the display of specific digital items and collections.
For example if I want to make a digitial collection of database entries for my users, but I want to mark some databases as being only available/visible to a specific campus, then they shouldn't show in other views.

Support of CRediT - the Contributors Role Taxonomy within the article and local indexes
120 journals are now fully supporting this NISO standard (NISO Z39.104-2022) for authorship and roles (https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/credit). We believe this emerging standard will allow additional search functionality for authors who have played different roles within the construction of the scholarly article. Over 50 publishers have adopted this taxonomy across their publications (Elsevier, etc.)

Improved Support of multilingual elements for external data sources in Primo VE

Calculated availability for non-full text records in digital imports from repositories
In Primo VE, institution repositories are limited to one label. For example, a link to the full online resource or a link to the physical resource are both labelled as ‘Full Text Available’.
This is a problem, as not all repositories are the full text, some repositories may just be an abstract.
Primo's label options are better, it is clearer to the user by the various different labels, for example ‘Full text available’ or ‘No full text’.
We would like Primo VE to have the various different labels, like Primo.

Extend the limit on the Summary Holdings Display to more than 10 holdings.
If a title is held at more than 10 locations, its holdings summary will not appear on the Locations page—however, the more locations, the higher demand for checking the range of the coverage. Therefore, please display all summary holdings regardless of the number of holdings.

Increase security for option to delete a view in Primo VE
Right now it is all too easy to delete a Primo VE view. If the option to delete a view is accidentally clicked on the drop down menu, a confirmation message appears with the "confirm" option highlighted. A confused user might click enter to get rid of the message without reading the message. This happened to us recently. A user who selects the delete option should have to type in the view code to confirm deletion. This extra step would help to prevent accidental deletion.
