Folders to organize Save Query searches in Primo
I'd like to see a way to organize my Save Query searches in Primo when I'm signed into my account.
Prior to our go live date, I'm doing a lot of test searches in Primo to analyze results so we can tweak it for the best results. Having the ability to save different searches and variations of them in folders would be a great option, both for us and for our students when we complete our rollover before the Fall semester.
5 votesThank you for this idea, following it we have implemented a new Notification Name field to help users name their saved searches . this can be seen in both alert emails as email title or in the
My Favorites → Saved Searches.
We are moving the idea to close and not completed since the implementation doesn’t cover folders or labels to search for.
Please refer to the upcoming Primo August 2021 release notes for more details -
My Favourites/ My Favorites: Drag and drop labels to saved items
It would be helpful to users if they could drag and drop existing labels to add them to records they've 'pinned' in My Favourites.
Once you have a large number of pinned items and labels drag and drop would be quicker and easier than opening the 'edit labels' block for each record.

[Primo] - Add an enabled / disabled status field to pipes
It would be useful to have an enabled / disabled status field in the Pipe definition.
For example delete pipes or rarely used pipes could be disabled and enabled only when needed, thus minimizing the risk of launching/scheduling them by mistake.
This would also mitigate the current lack of the possibility to deleted old / unused pipes (see https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/19994728-allow-deletion-of-old-unused-pipes ). Disabling them would be an improvement.9 votesHello All,

"see" references also for the browsing by title
Hello,
our (public) case #00518038 has confirmed that the "see" references to not-preferred forms in a browse search are implemented only for Authors and subjects.
We ask the implementation also for the titles

Multiple versions of Books not showing as format BOOKS
In both Primo VE and Primo when there are multiple versions of a book , it is not clear that the format is BOOKS. When the multiple version is an ARTICLE this is indicated. Can this be fixed please.

Improve the formatting of Primo VE forms so that they can expand and accommodate longer titles.
In Primo VE the Resource Sharing and Purchase Request forms are designed to be very narrow - the entry fields are 50 characters wide. They look like they have been designed to be optimised for a mobile interface and do not resize if more room is available.
This means that if I requested Title is longer than 50 characters you cannot see it all at once.We have attempted to use changes in the css to widen the form but this causes issues with the display of Advanced Search fields.

Notes in My Favourites
Classic interface Primo offered a Note bubble in eShelf, that allowed users to annotate their references. Something our students have found useful.
The new interface however, neither contains migrated eShelf Note bubble data, or alternative functionality to capture annotations.
Labels can be used as a workaround, but this isn't really the functionality our students seek.
I invite others to comment and support this idea.
Thanks

Primo Central note field - include in export

Primo Registration Service collections should be editable by Ex Libris staff
As a discovery librarian I would like the Primo Registration Service (Collection Activation) to be editable by Ex Libris staff so that resources incorrectly set as collection-level resources could be reset to Subscription (Linkresolver) level. This would mean large numbers of false positive search results in Primo UI could be reduced.
Background: the Oxford Research Encyclopedias collection has been set up in Primo Registration Service as a collection-level resource and delivers Primo search results for every title in the collection, whether subscribed or not.
It includes 27 separate encyclopedias on diverse subjects (we have only 2 titles).
These are new…

Facets for location of item within a library as well as library
Currently it is only possible to filter search results by the holding Library. The ability to filter search results to a specific location or locations within a library would be useful - for example, to filter the results to copies held at the "Student Library" location and not those held at the "Old Library" location as students cannot borrow items from the Old Library and only want to see the copies they can borrow (those held at the "Student Library" location).

Provide LibGuides Type Functionality in Studio
Expand the new Primo Studio functionality to include an ability to create content like many of us are using through LibGuides. A simple content management system that would allow us to create simple web pages would allow us to replicate things like subject guides directly in Primo. If that content can also be indexed and searchable through the Primo VE search box that would be even better! This would avoid the need for seperate systems like LibGuides.

bX: Display dates for recommended articles in Primo VE brief results
Article dates do not display in brief results related to bX article recommendations. The dates display in the bX sidebar, but when a user clicks on a bX recommended title, the date is missing from the brief results. It was noted that this configuration is currently hard coded and not configurable.

Remove 490 from Browse Index
We would like the ability to remove certain fields from the Browse Index - specifically the 490 field. We still want it included in the Keyword Index, but not in the Browse Index. The reason for this request is that the 490 series description field is displaying in the Browse bib headings in Primo and Alma. This results in two series fields displaying, when there is only one series.

Improve Author/Creator search results
We want more control over Author/Creator search results. Ex Libris has informed us that the author/creator searching norm rules are hard coded and cannot be changed. Currently our results include MARC fields 245 (statement of responsibility) and 600, 610, 611 (names as subjects). We don't want these fields included and would like to be able to sculpt search results through MARC field editing. Inclusion of these fields confuses users in author searches and returns results that are irrelevant when searching for works of a known author.

Allow Search Box Placeholder Text to Be Customizable by VIEW
The search box placeholder text is customizable in the Code Table (nui.search.placeholder) but the change is global. It would be much more useful if the default could be set in the Code Table and then further customized in each view if desired. Or, if that isn't possible, to remove it from the Code Table and just make it a customizable field in each view. Or, if that isn't possible, at least a check box in the view settings that would allow us to remove/hide the placeholder text that was set in the Code Table.
It's great that we can make…

Make it possible to remove the 'until' date in OAI request for all pipes
Each time a pipe harvesting using OAI method is run, the OAI request set the 'until' parameter to the time the pipe is run. Here is an example of such OAI request: https://ourjournals.ac.nz/index.php/LPR/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&from=2018-11-05T01:44:31Z&until=2018-12-01T22:40:07Z When the target OAI feeds contain records do not have a date stamp, it will be automatically filled with the date/time the record is accessed by the OAI harvester. This means that all these records without a date stamp will never be harvested into Primo as they will be always have a later date stamp than the 'until' parameter. We would like to see an option to…

Saved Records Print out in Brief Display
A second print option should be added so that saved records can be printed as a list, with the same brief display elements in the Pinned record display (title, author, citation). The current print option include the entire record (notes, abstracts, ToC etc.) and if one is part of a consortium, all the holdings in the other member libraries.

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.
