Show exact number of results when browsing instead of 20+
When browsing subjects in Primo, if a result has more than 20 results attached to a single subject entry, that subject displays "20+ records" instead of a specific number, which is what Primo shows for any total less than 20. This happens because Primo uses the Alma browse functionality, but this is not as informative to users as it should be. Instead, users have to click the heading before they can see the exact count of associated records.

Physical items sort routine by date - enable I J K descending, but A B C descending
Hi
We're running into a problem with the Physical items sort routine - Sort according to date.For journals, we want to sort the latest item on top, this works correctly with
Sort according to chronology I/U/K (year/month/day) - DescendingBUT
The same sort routine is also used for multi volume monographs.
We found out that if we only fill out conditions for Chronology I J K, but those fields are empty, the barcode gets used for sorting.
Which leads to wrong sorts.So we had to add
Enumeration A, B, C as a condition.This leads to…

Switching number of titles per page should not jump to top of page
Hi
At the moment, the switch for to more titles per page is only possible at the bottom of a page
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/43465527-display-pagination-navigation-on-top-of-resultpageBut when I do this, I get moved back to the top of the page. This is bad UX. My position on the page should not change.

citation linker - highlight required fields
I'm suggesting an out of the box configuration option to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I have adjusted the text, to let our users know that an identifier is required but the text can easily be missed. We recently migrated to Alma/Primo VE and when we had 360/Summon, we were able to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I am investigating CSS customization options.

Default Sortting option for the historic loans
When opening the historic loans tab , the "Sort by" dropdown default value is empty and the results are not sorted.
So historic loans details are shown at random.
Only when the user selects the desired "Sort by" value as "Returned date - newest", the results will sort.Please make the default option "Returned date - newest" for the historic loans.
Then users can immediately check the book with the latest return date.Thanks in advanced.

Index local in Advanced search
We have a local index with a closed list of values and we would like to present only this list of values to users doing an advanced search.
An example with the local index "Original language" based on the 905 field. This field contains three possible values: Yes, No, Bilingual.
We would like for an advanced search, when the user chooses the Original Language index, to present the closed list that shows three possible values: Yes No Bilingual

Show unnormalized facet Academic Department in PRIMO VE
We want the PRIMO VE shows the Facet as an unnormalized text as we see in ALMA.
It only displays the initial letter of each word in uppercase and removes hyphens and other punctuation marks.
For example in ALMA we see a Academic department "FCS- Nutrició" and in the Primo VE now we see as "Fcs Nutrició"

Allow A-Z facet to have both title and alternative title
Use case: Users will look for databases and journals by the name they know, which often doesn't match the official title in the 245 field. We would like the ability to add more than one entry to the atoz facet so that users can find items by both the title and alternative title.
Example:
245 Education Database - under E
246 Proquest Education Database - under PThis would improve the user experience and findability for our subscription resources.

Suppress ellipsis in journals holdings summary
When journals holdings are displayed in Primo VE, if the holding record has the field 866 (configured in Discovery> Holdings Display Configuration), is shown three points (ellipsis) that lead the user to think that we are still receiving issues but really the journal is not open. this.
Example: https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886043803706 https://www.screencast.com/t/sIu1QtKv0However, when the holdings record does not have this 866 field, it does not display the three dots.
Example https://polibuscador.upv.es/permalink/34UPV_INST/m0gkge/alma996886281903706 https://www.screencast.com/t/NUcSikfAKWe believe that these three points should disappear since with the link "See more" the user can see the additional information corresponding to field 866) and not show ...…

View full record in results view
The current behaviour to move from search results to exploring a record is to open a pop up to view the full record.
This takes the user away from the results set they are working with.
There is feedback that some users dislike pop ups.
We have also observed that many users open full records in a new tab in order to have records of interest open in tabs to go explore in detail later whilst continuing to work with the search results.
To match user behaviour in exploring search results I'd like to suggest an option to open the…5 votesHello All,

Ability to search non-english (especially Scandinavian) characters in local data and CDI data in a consistent way
A growing number of Central Discovery Index (CDI) sources contain the original non-english characters for specific languages, e.g. Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish) letters such as æ,ä, ø, ö and å. Searching the original Scandinavian letters works for both local and CDI data. However, searching non-English letters are cumbersome for foreign users. There are different ways to anglicize these characters. The traditional Scandinavian way is to use a "folded variant": "ä" -> "ae", "ö" -> "oe", etc. However, this only works for local data (institution zone). CDI use the method of simply removing the dots: "ä" -> "a", "ö" -> "o",…

Transformation routine to convert number range to list
Have a transformation routine that will convert a range of numbers to a list. For example
input: 3-8
output: 3,4,5,6,7,8This would be very helpful in the search section, as users often search for a series and volume number, but if the series number is in a range they won't find it. E.g., this search will fail
Series entry:
The big series, v.24-35user search:
big series 31With the new transformation, the search section of the pnx would have
The big series, v.24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35
and the search would work.13 votesHello All,

Poder configurar la ordenación de los items/holdings en Primo VE

Por otra parte, hay casos en los que muchos items dependen de un mismo holding. En este caso nos gustaría que se pudieran ordenar por disponibilidad, es decir, que se mostraran en primer lugar los items disponibles. En el ejemplo 2 del documento…22 votesHello All,

Add permalinks to Resource Sharing Form
When a user submits a RS request for an item in Primo, it would be helpful to have a permalink as part of that form. There is a "Source" field, but that isn't helpful in tracking down the original record the user was on. If the metadata in the request doesn't parse into the form correctly (which it sometimes doesn't for less common material types) and the user failed to add more detail, it would be helpful to have the permalink.
