Make the login help link language sensitive
In Alma Configuration it is possible to define Login page help links for Primo VE and to translate the label to another language, but it is not possible to have separate URLs for help pages in different languages.
We would like the URL to be customizable per language the same way the label is.

Update the Primo RSS feed channel link to point to NUI, not the classic interface
Although this is a small issue this is confusing whenever we dispay a Primo RSS feed through a widget to our end users . I submitted this to support and was told that I should consider posting it on Ideas Exchange instead.
To see a sample alert RSS feed from our instance: https://senecacollege-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/newRss?rssId=1730438767&queryTerm=Concrete%20slabs%20--%20Design%20and%20construction&vid=01SENC&ver=2_1_4

More granuality in the additional data section in the PNX
Editors of anthologies seems to be normalized to addau element in the PNX. I would like a specific editor element that can be mapped to the RIS tag ED.

Data elements for Calculated Availability should be configurable
The Calculated Availability text is composed of Availability status + Library + location + call number .
We want to be able to configure what elements should display based on their value. For instance, we only want to display call numbers for items that are on open shelves (as determined by library and/or location value). For items in closed stacks, the call number is irrelevant to the users and only serves to clutter up the interface.18 votesHello All,

Primo VE: Public names for Libraries and Locations
It would often be helpful if patron-facing names of libraries and locations were different from the staff-facing names in Alma, e.g., staff users may need to know exactly which of several "Closed stack" is in play, while this is irrelevant information for end users. So public names of Libraries and Locations should be editable through the Discovery Labels code table

make sign-in reminder above items list sticky
for records with large numbers of items attached it would improve the user experience if the banner which reminds users to sign in to place requests was 'sticky' so that it was always visible no matter how far down the list of items they are. for instance, our staff have reported user confusion when browsing for a specific physicval volume of a long-running journal title - they eventually find the item they want but then don't know how to get it because there's no sign in option.

Separate Library selection and Personal Delivery Address in Getit pop-up

Ability to examine raw data of a PCI collection for quality assessment
Its tedious to check the quality of primo central collection. It will be helpful to have an API access to the raw data of Primo Central Collections. Collections need to be checked for quality issues e.g. resource types contained. Its important to understand the density, language, and formatting of metadata before a collection is activated in production. Please enable an API for the PNX / Metadata of the collections records. Metadata experts could then assess the quality of a collection more easily. The method would be also more reliable and convenient than checking (some) examples via the Primo frontend.

Access by IP-Ranges : add criteria in Primo Analytics
Primo Analytics should support IP ranges as a filter criteria in the usage reports. This will enhance our statistics, for instance:
- how much usage is generated by certain libraries?
- how many patrons use primo off-campus or via VPN?
- are there users not affiliated with the university?
- what is the percentage of usage generated by library staff?
- etc.
The IP ranges might be taken from the backoffice configuration
Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizards > Institution Wizard > Edit IPsPlease support this idea as we think this will lead to a clearer picture of our Primo users.

Patron must agree the borrowing request agreement in Primo before booking a Kindle book
The customer of 86CUHKSZ would like to add a borrowing request agreement in Primo, so when a patron wants to book a Kindle book, the borrowing request agreement must be read and agreed at first, otherwise, the patron cannot book the Kindle book. And the customer would like to have an interface to update the agreement accordingly.

Searching special characters Ayin or Apostrophe in Primo
In Alma, you get the same results if you include or exclude the special character ayin or apostrophe in your search terms. However, in Primo searches you need to include these special characters. If they are missing, you will not find the same result.
Ayin is used in transliterated title of items in Hebrew, Arabic, Armaic, Syriac, and Korean languages. It is not on a standard US keyboard, so it is difficult for users to include it in the search.
Apparently, Alma uses a different indexing system. We would like Primo to be able to do the same as Alma…

Increase the granularity of of metadata fields for searching in Primo Central
Additional metadata fields be made searchable within Primo Central. Author affiliation, Abstract, Author Keywords, Thesaurus keywords, Chemical name, Source title, Funding information, full text, etc. The publishers and some database providers provide some or all of this information, for the publishers that do not supply the information, the field will be empty, for the many duplicate records the field information may be found in one or more of the duplicate records. It would be better to make search available for the additional fields, than over simplify search and remove the capability. Improves the level of sophisticated and accurate searching within…

Categorise dbs/guides/sites via Primo admin. The databases be indexed, searched or browsed for in PrimoVE customers that do not have Alma
The ability to subject categorise databases, library guides, Web sites etc via Primo admin. The databases and guides they are included in the Primo index so that the words in the title, description or keywords when searched will appear within the results. Also so the resources can browsed for in PrimoVE or Primo classic by the categories so there is not a long list to scroll through. This is for customers that do not have Alma or any library catalogue. I have seen you can currently do this only for Alma catalogue users.

Configure detail shown in My Library Card
In Primo VE, under Loan tab of My Library Card, the display of detail for each loan item cannot be configured. Therefore, library users can see many unnecessary detail such as Call number 2, ILS institutional code and ILS institutional name etc.

Add in-line display option for textual holdings and notes (866 a,z) in Get It section
The display of the 866 a (holdings) and z (notes) subfields as separate lines in Primo VE is confusing for users. We request the option to display the 866 subfields a and z in the same line in Primo.
For example, a journal has 2 866 fields, one of which includes "CD-ROM" in subfield z to indicate the format. The word "CD-ROM" appears in the third line, causing confusion about if this refers to the line above, or is a separate holding.Availability:

Primo VE: ability to search without search expansion and to display a link to include expanded terms if desired
Currently if the search expansion with controlled vocabulary feature is switched on in Primo VE, the search expansion is automatically included in the search by default and the user has to click to remove the expanded terms from their search. It would be beneficial to have the ability to have the feature switched on, but with the expansion not included by default and for the user to be able to include the expanded terms if desired.

provide different indication for items 'available online' - but not for my library
when searching for 'electronic sources only' the result list provides the indication 'available online' for all items, including those NOT available for my library.
I do want to see the items not available for my library, but there should be a different indication for them.
Is it possible to show items as 'available online' for those available for my library, and show the other items with 'inter-library loan' indication?
thanks
