Table of Contents Display
It would be nice to have the table of contents field (505) formatted in a more user friendly manner within PrimoVE. In Voyager there was a rule that converted the ' -- ' to <LF><CR> (which is 'Enter').
I have attached examples of how it displays in our Voyager OPAC vs PrimoVE.

Ability to restrict number of characters displayed in Description field
In the Detailed Results, it would be good to have the ability to configure the Description field so that it displays only a certain number of characters by default, while also allowing users to expand the field to get the full description (similar to the way the Summary field in Syndetics Unbound works).

Why is ExL using a large X as a navigation tool in the new UI?
When I first came across this X, I thought it was a coding fault. It does not seem (to me) intuitive that you should click on it to return to the previous screen. A small x on the top RH corner of the open window would make more sense.

Primo New UI - EBSCO API - filter out no-full-text Item
We have set up a mixed search results of Primo PCI and EBSCO API. In the Primo new UI, The search results are supposed to show only full-text available materials. But we found some result items of EBCSO API are without full-text. We would like to the results items without full-text from EBSCO API be removed in the new UI in a full-text search while the no-full-text item be shown after clicked "Expand beyond library collections" . See the attachment "PCI&EBSCIAPIMixingProblem.docx" for details

Campus Activated Subscriber Access for better off-campus and mobile access to full text
Google Scholar is rolling out a programme with publishers for easier access to full-text subscription content. They call this Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA). The description from the latest press release says "CASA makes note of a user’s institutional affiliation when they access content from an authorized on-campus location, and then enables continued access to their library’s journal and book holdings from home or when using a device not connected to the institution’s network".
The way this could work with Primo is by setting a cookie on the user's device when they are on campus and access Primo. If their…

Add filter to eliminate items already pinned from search results
Provide a filter that would eliminate items that are already 'pinned' from the search results so that when people have many items pinned and they search on their topic, they have the ability to view only the items they haven't already pinned.

Add call # and ISBN search categories for "advanced search" in primo.
Often students have been given a Call Number or just an ISBN for a book and Primo makes searching for these difficult. Additionally sometimes it is necesary to cross check a title with a call number. These categories should be accessible in the Advanced search area (and call # category could not be only accessible in the search browser).

My Account - Previous and Historic Loans
For privacy reasons, many libraries disable the tracking of historic loans.
But when a client is signed into Primo, has items on their account, and goes to the Loans page of My Account, there is a drop-down with an option to choose to display either "active loans" or "previous and historic loans". It is redundant to have that second option there, since we have disabled it. There should be a way in Primo Back Office to hide that.

Display virtual browse by shelf mark as default (without mouse-over)
The new PRIMO Ui virtual browse has changed the display of the shelf mark information. You need to do a mouse-over to see the shelf mark. The suggestion is to make shelf mark display as default (as in the old UI), publication year as an option in back office or maybe have both shelf mark and publication year on different rows (without mouse-over solution).
1. Will all users understand it’s a mouse-over solution here?
2. Will all users be able to display the shelf mark with mouse-over? Compatible with all major web browsers? The mouse over doesn’t work in Safari…6 votesHello All,

Date format for Loans option for DD/MM/YYYY (New UI/Primo VE)
We have Primo VE and the New UI and the date format for loans (in the user's account) defaults to the US MM/DD/YYYY format. We want to be able to chnage this to DD/MM/YYYY but there currently isn't an option to do so.

New UI - allow full results to be opened in a new tab
In the old interface and in summon it is possible to open full details pages in a new tab while keeping the full results list open.
In the new ui this is not possible. As one of our academics says
"I prefer to review the results page first, opening potentially useful results in new tabs (using 'ctrl+click' ) so that they load 'in the background'. Then I can review each tab without disrupting the original search results (and come back to them later if necessary). "In the new UI the full record opens over the results list and has…

Actions - email record function - Please give indication an email has been sent
When emailing a record (via Actions - email ) it would be great if there was some indication that an email was sent. We often get several emailed records from clients regarding the same item – and one has mentioned it would be great to know it’s been successfully sent. Currently the pop box for entering email details just disappears once submitted.

Cutting and Pasting Search Strategies following a PRIMO search
As a reference librarian, I regularly include a copy of a my strategy with a hypertext link to the search in an email or Google Doc. There is a nice summary of the strategy above the search in PRIMO, but I can't copy it well; it needs a lot of editing if pasted.
In my search history, it is a hyper-link and when I highlight it to copy, it tends to re-run the link.
The alternatives are too share a link (the links too searches are too long -- a short link may work) or to do a screen capture…

Is there anyway that all holdings can be displayed in a "paragraph" format, instead of a line-by-line format.
At present time, Primo displays some holdings records in "paragraph" format, and others in line-by-line format. This is inconsistent, and makes the catalog appear sloppy. When items are in the line-by-line format it becomes time consuming to have to scroll down to find out if an institution holds an item. It would be much better for all holdings to appear in the "paragraph" format and this would then give a much needed consistency to the catalog.

Modify BackOffice to Clearly Identify Old UI vs New UI components and methods.
It is very frustrating to have documentation that leads you down one path in Backoffice, only to later find out that the path is only applicable to the old UI and has no effect on the new UI. Modify the configuration wizard to clearly identify things as new UI or old UI. Ideally, BackOffice would react to the checkbox for New UI and only show me choices that are applicable to the new UI.

Acquire SpringShare and integrate LibGuides functionality into Primo UI.
LibGuides and the other SpringShare components provide supplemental functionality for many libraries. Many Primo customers are pointing to LibGuides for things like Database Search/A-Z, content management, and subject guides. Acquiring that resource would allow Ex Libris to incorporate the product into Primo and would allow Ex Libris to integrate the product into the secure architecture and FedRAMP approved architecture.

Pull database recommendations from Alma holdings
The resource recommender in Primo currently requires us to manually upload files which list databases or other resources we want to recommend.
Given that most/many? Primo users are on Alma as well, it would be good for primo/alma institutions to have autopopulated database recommendation choices (that can be turned on or off at will) from Alma local holdings.
This is similar to how Summon's database recommender works with 360core knowledgebase.
This creates better efficiency compared to creating seperate lists for the database recommender because if the URL changes or the resource gets cancelled, one would have to update one place…
