  5. Ability to merge deduped records in Primo VE

    In Primo VE, you can currently choose to display a preferred dedup record (in the full and brief display), either from Alma-P, Alma-E or Alma-D (or none, and the first record to show up in the result list will display).

    We would like to add the option to merge all local records. This is the default behaviour in Primo classic.

  6. Allow custom error pages if View Code does not exist

    Currently any unkown View Code in the URL (e.G: vid=PRIMA) leads to empty page and rotating diamonds.

    In the background Angular is unable to fetch the configuration URL /primo_library/libweb/webservices/rest/v1/configuration/PRIMA which is answered by an HTTP 406 error from the server.

    To the enduser its completely unclear where the problem is located, did she/he make a mistake or is there a problem on the server.

    I would suggest to provide at least generic error page (View Code not found) and respond by HTTP 404 or 406 to the client. This is also important for search engine crawlers if there are any…

  7. Automatically reopen all the closed tabs after Primo timeout when sign in again

    Some of our patrons like to use Primo with many open tabs, each tab can contain one item they are interested in and want to read/check out. The problem is that if they spend longer time than the timeout limit (one hour for our instance), Primo will automatically log out and close all the tabs. And the patron cannot re-claim/re-open closed tabs after sign in again. It has been a recurring complaint and we think extending the timeout limit is not a good solution. Our expectation for Primo is that when patrons sign in again, the lost/closed tabs from the…

  9. Display on the Location list: textual descriptions of the physical arrangement of a holding unit

    Since the updates in January 2021, the Location list has become capable of displaying the Field 866, 852, etc.
    There are cases in which the issues of a single journal title are located separately according to publication years. Here we present a case example to explain the situation:
    Group 1: The issues published in the last several years; they are shelved in the “New Arrival.”
    Group 2: The issues published several years before the Group 1; they are shelved in the “Back Numbers.”
    Group 3: The issues published more than 20 years ago; they are shelved in the “Remote Storage.”

  10. Allow Local Fields as filters for NZ Search Scopes

    When setting up a custom scope we found the "Local fields" option was not available in the dropdown list if we choose scope population "Entire Network".
    The "Local fields" option is available in the dropdown list if we choose scope population"My Institution".

    We think the "Local fields" option should be available for scope population "Entire Network" as well because we can set up up to 10 local search fields in the NZ and they would be used in the scope definition.

    This would allow consortia to exclude specific resources from the NZ scopes based on values in the NZ local…

  14. Ability to collapse all sections in the get it section by default

    User Story: Many of our librarians use Primo to search for our records. They would prefer to be able to see the barcode information on all items in the get it section. As soon as they open the record. Rather than having to click each one, show the extra information.
    Solution: we are requesting the ability to have all items collapsed by default in a specific view. So that library staff can see the item information, once they open the record.

  15. Add "Locate" link to Primo Analytics

    We would like to find out how often users are clicking on the Locate item within the Primo VE record to view the map where the item is located; this is the label nui.locations.locate in the ViewIt table. Ex Libris support has confirmed that this link currently cannot be tracked in Primo Analytics because there is not a beacon call associated with the link. We would like to request that the Locate link be added to Primo Analytics tracking.

  17. Allow Primo/Primo VE View customization packages to accept .db files and .DS_Store

    The view customization packages for Primo and Primo VE do not allow .db files. When someone opens a folder with images, Windows automatically creates a hidden Thumbs.db file. MacOS creates similar .DS_Store files.

    This file can be difficult to remove even with rights to view and delete the file, since Windows will sometimes indicate the file is in use and cannot be deleted.

    Rather than jumping through hoops to recreate the customization package structure and carefully place images only in the desired folders never to be opened again, I would propose that Primo and Primo VE accept customization packages that…

  19. Pin to the result last viewed in Primo after closing the item record

    The current Primo design returns the user to a random earlier page, not necessarily to the same record, after clicking on a search result to open up the item record. So currently, after viewing result no. 24, and closing it, it could return you to result 11 in the Primo search results page.
