Radio buttons on the Resource Sharing item request form on Primo VE
On the Resource Sharing item request form on Primo VE the 'Citation type' radio buttons can't be altered.
Our library would like for the 'Article' radio button to be first, before the 'Book' option, and for it to be pre-selected as the default.
Also, with the 'Format' radio buttons at the bottom of the form we would like to hide both the 'Physical' and 'Photocopy' buttons, but keep the 'Digital' one visible and selected. This is so that our users are aware that their request will be supplied to them digitally.

General Electronic Service - Additional Display location
In Primo VE you can set up a General Electronic Service (GES) to display in Primo VE under
Getit & How to Getit
Viewit and How to Getit
Getit, Viewit & How to Getit
How to Getit only
NoneFor when you only want a GES to display on an ebook or electronic resource, the display option doesn't give this option, but you can for physical items.
Idea is for there to be more options under display locations to make a far easier and straightwards option to select specific displays, specifically Viewit ONLY

Configure journals A-Z so titles from key suppliers can be ranked higher than lesser known suppliers/OA titles
We would like to apply some configuration to the Journals A-Z in Primo?
We have noticed that when browsing our A-Z the first few titles that appear under each letter do not tend to reflect our health and social care focused collection. We would like to have options to omit or give more weight to certain collections/titles in the A-Z so more prominent titles appear at the top rather than titles that are unlikely to have any significant use for our patrons.
One example would be under the letter L. We would hope a title such as The Lancet would…

Add ability to customize what appears in MyInst_and_Cl (Search everything) scope.
We recently went live with Esploro's Research Repository and have been adding assets for faculty and staff publications, including theses and books that already exist as separate records in Alma. We recently noticed that these records from Esploro are automatically included in our MyInstandCl (Search everything) scope in Primo VE, resulting in duplication of theses and book records. Attached is a screenshot of a duplicate record in Primo VE. Note that the second is listed as an ebook when it is not an ebook (a salesforce case exists for this issue).
Esploro records are separate from Alma records,…

Direct linking for digital objects to become customizable
At Leiden University we would like the direct linking to be customizable. If a record is related to both an electronic and a digital service, the electronic service is now preferred. We would like to be able to choose the digital service to be chosen.

Ability to limit by type of material the view of digitization request in Primo
In our institution we would like to have the ability to apply a new parameter in the display logic rules of PRIMO based on material type. For instance to show the digitization form link only for specifics types such journals or reports, but not for books.
I hope this idea seems interesting for the Primo community.Many thanks

Primo VE: Approve/Reject user created tags before adding to display
We want to enable user created tags in Primo VE, however, we need the ability to screen tags BEFORE they get displayed. Currently, tags are on display as soon as they are added.
Ideally, users would "Suggest a Tag" which is initially in a 'hidden' status. At the Manage Tags screen, there would be a checkbox or toggle switch to Approve or Reject each tag.

[My Account] Display Requested media field in Requests View
It would be useful if Requested media field could be configured as a field to display in Requests View(My Account). Currently, the My Account page in Primo only displays limited information for ILL requests so that a user cannot see the full bibliographical details of ILL requests. The My Account page should provide more information to users. Lynne Porat also shared a similar idea in 2017. I appreciate your help in advance.

Make Primo content discoverable via Microsoft Bing search engine
With an increasing emphasis on measuring and maximising the impact of research outputs, an incentive for researchers depositing content in an institutional repository is that this can boost readership, citation counts and potential impact of the research - but this is dependent on the discoverability of this content.
Studies have shown that an increasing proportion of academic search and discovery activity occurs outside the discovery services provided by the library, with researchers using discipline-specific indexes such as Scopus, academic search engines such as Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic, and general web search engines like Google and Bing.

Clearer messaging around simultaneous user restriction in Alma Digital
We would like a configurable message that lets the user know they have been denied access to an item in Alma Digital because of the simultaneous user restriction. Currently, we are only able to configure a generic access denied message.

Show ALL data recorded in faceted fields
When a search is done on a faceted field, not all the possible results in any given facet are shown. There is no logical resulting display of faceted values. For example, if one searches for the keyword "Novels" in our sandbox, and then goes to the Creator Demographic Group facet (data from MARC 386 field), you get a choice of some terms like Algerians (53), Americans (1464), Austrians (353) and so on. But Canadians and Germans are not shown in this list, even though there are many records that have 386 Canadians or Germans. If you do a keyword search…

Display Peer Reviewed and Open Access icons when coming to Primo via OpenURL
Our clients can benefit from having the Peer Reviewed and Open Access icons display in Primo when clicking through from a Database or Google Scholar. We would like to meet our clients where they are searching for articles and these two indications are important to them.
Example title: Biological invasions, ecological resilience and adaptive governance
There are Peer reviewed or Open access indications when linking back from Google Scholar: https://sun.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/openurl?institution=27US_INST&vid=27US_INST:27US_V1&volume=183&date=2016&aulast=Chaffin&issn=0301-4797&spage=399&id=doi:10.1016%2Fj.jenvman.2016.04.040&auinit=BC&title=Journal%20of%20environmental%20management&atitle=Biological%20invasions,%20ecological%20resilience%20and%20adaptive%20governance&sid=google
