Hi All,
most of the ***** sites look quite dull, mostly OOTB look with few enhancements. How about running a competition "The best Primo UI design"?

System generated email: include the domain name in the body of message
Currently system generated emails from Primo do not indicate which server they originated from. We have two servers, production and staging, and we think this is a common setup. In order to know which server the email came from one has to view the message headers. It would be helpful if the emails automatically included the domain name in the body of the message.

Different RTA status messages for items on loan and missing items
Today the message "All items checked out from ..." is shown both for items on loan and items with process status "Missing" in Aleph. We would like to have different messages reflecting the real process status of he item.

Fix the RIS file export
Many Primo Alma customers have had to add additional display fields in Primo to enable correct export of Multiple authors and Publishers to a RIS file for Refworks or other Bibilographic tools.
Please can this be fixed for everyone? I am attaching our Refworks mapping file as an example.

Permalinks that go to View It / Get It tabs
Enable Primo to be configured to create Permalinks that go to View It / Get It tabs to give the user quicker access to a resource.
In order to still be permanent, system administrators should be able to configure an order of preference for the permalinks between view it, get it and details to guarantee the link goes somewhere as long as the resource remains in Primo.

Relais third-node adapter
There should be a way to search consortium library ILSes using Metalib or a z39.50 third-node adapter. We are currently building a metalib quickset to federate search across the consortium. We hate relais' discovery service so we would like to keep users in primo. Currently, the relais link in the new UI is for known items. We would like to create a consortium based union catalog. Even better would be if this could get accomplished by daily automated harvesting within PCI (leaving d2d's web API to check availability and process the loan). If you think this would require additional resources,…

Don't require login to view full search results
According to the usability experts, Nielsen Norman Group, a website shouldn't demand user information such as a login until it has demonstrated it's relevance to the user's needs, and earned the users preference over other tools that perform the same task. (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/commitment-levels/?utm_source=Alertbox&utm_campaign=d19e05030d-Hierarchy_of_Trust_Testing_Features_03_07_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_7f29a2b335-d19e05030d-40195745)
We're competing with a user preference for Google. From a user experience standpoint, it makes no sense to require that users log in before seeing content that is unique to vendors such as ProQuest in their search results. Please negotiate with vendors until this requirement is eliminated.
40 votesHi ,
We would like, as well, that all the resources will be available as part of the search results and that there will not be any need to login before he perform a specific action on the document itself.
However, it doesn’t depend on us, but on the content provider.
Although most of the content in Primo central, includes the majority of the PQ content is available for search without any restriction, there are few content providers (mainly the A&I ones) , that still demand not to show their content in the search results without the user login and we will verify he have the privileges to get the content.
We keep discussing this with the content vendors and request like that help us to prove our point, but in order to support it have to be agreed by the content provider. -
Enable configuration of Permalinks to open a tab that gives access to an item
Permalinks currently open into the detail tab in Primo.
Our users have expressed a preference for the permalink to open into a screen which would give them access to the item i.e. either the getit or view it tab.

Modify message and add hyperlink in "Request" tab in search result
"Title Request Limit" is not be used in our library but misleading message "Patron has exceeded requests limit" is shown in result list "Request" tab of Primo after user logged in. As a result, we would like to modify the message and hyperlink that will be more user friendly. Hyperlink is not supported to add. We would like to change the message to 'Click "Holdings" to check "Request Options"' as well as "Holdings" is a hyperlink. Tab will be switch to "Holdings" tab after user click the link.

Option to extend Held Shelf Expiry Date
We would like the option, within My Account for the user to be able extend the Held Shelf expiry date of their requests. They would click on a button and, if no-one had already requested their item the system would automatically extend the Held shelf expiry date (it could do this by an agreed period - for example 2 days and if, required an email could be sent to Library Requests staff to alert them)

Would like FRBR member boosting to be cone at institution level so multi tenant can select default record type(e over print etc...)
Currently in a multi tenant environment some variables are only at the installation level and can't be changed. My example is the FRBR for print always shows, where we would prefer the electronic:
As total care can we do this making the Ebook or electronic version be the first on the brief display rather than the print?

add a check box feature in the "Refine my Results" lists on the left column in each facet
The value of the faceted search is that it leads the searcher quickly and efficiently to the desired result. The checkbox facet type lets users select multiple values.
We would like to add a check box feature in the "Refine my Results" lists on the left column in each facet, as is already being done in the "More options" links therein. The reason for this request is that in our opinion, the user will notice from the beginning this option exists in the facet, and it will facilitate his search. Some users don't click "More options", and thus they will…18 votesHello All,

PCI Collection List in a .csv or similiar format
It would be great to have the PCI Collection List in .csv or similar format. It's time consuming to convert it to a format that is usable. It would be great to be able to easily deduplicate with the PCI Activations export and compare from version to version so we can easily see what collections have been added to the PCI without having to spend hours eyeballing or converting the document.

Expand FRBR group of records within the search results
I suggest the ability to expand a FRBR group of records within the search results, rather than the "view multiple versions" link showing a new page of records, from which you have to go back to the original results, isn't a good user experience. This would work nicely with infinite scrolling in the new Primo UI.
It should be possible to set a threshold for the number of records in a FRBR group this should happen for, e.g. six because most of our FRBR groups are for up to six editions of a title, whereas others are for tens of…
