Search within Summon Admin Console
The list of features available in the Summon Admin Console has grown large and it can be difficult to find the setting you are looking for. It would be helpful to have a search bar in the navigation bar on the left that searches all the pages and can help locate the desired setting.

Avoid adding inappropriate data automatically
I would like the administrator to be able to select whether or not to apply the function of automatic completion of bibliographic information to the titles registered as Library Specific Holdings. Sometimes, this function gives titles inappropriate data.

Permalink popups get in the way.
Permalink popups on each records get in the way and hide the clear button when we bring up the permalink window.
And when we tried to click the clear button, cursors and popups blink and do not look very good. I hope that it will be modified.4 votes -
Changes to the default content type mapping to accommodate music
The current default MARC field mapping for web resources and computer files includes an option for MARC field 008(026). For most content types, this field position indicates that the resource has online content or is accessed electronically.
HOWEVER
Music scores and sound recordings have a different set of values for the 008 field. Their data elements for the 008(26) position indicate that the resource has accompanying matter, such as historical information, biographical content, or a discography.By having the 008(26) as a default MARC mapping for all types, many music resources will get incorrectly identified as web resources or computer…

Include a mapping field for indexed names and titles
Added entries in a MARC 7xx field should have their own Summon Field Name and be displayed in the preview and detail page. This is a basic need for music and sound recordings which often contain several titles by multiple people. Users will then be able to click on the indexed name or title in the display page and search for other resources containing it.

"Refine Your Search" improvement with OR search
It would be useful to be able to narrow down "Refine Your Search" items by multiplying high priority items by OR search. For example, it would be good to be able to narrow down the search to only those contents that fall under either "Library Catalog" OR "Full Text Online". Currently, when all items in "Refine Your Search" are checked, they are narrowed down by AND search.

Limit purchase request by material type
At present, purchase requests cannot be limited by material type, e.g. users can request that we purchase ebooks but not ejournals. I think this could be achieved with Display Logic.
Can this functionality please be added?3 votes -
CDI Display Document Attributes
The "CDI Display Document Attributes" functionality in Primo allows preprints to be labelled. There is an ongoing problem in Summon where aggregators and publishers use the same electronic collections but provide a different level of access. Especially with preprints - which look like broken links because aggregators dont provide them but they are included in results because publishers do.
This functionality could identify preprints so users would have a better idea of why they can't access them.
Can this functionality please be made available to Summon users?

Summon UI Language to Be Transferred to Catalog UI
Could you please make it available to configure language condition to the link from Summon to Catalog?
This request is from a Japanese university.
For example, it is preferable that a record on Summon (UI: English) leads to Catalog page of English version. Currently it is led to the default Japanese Catalog page even though Summon UI language is English.1 vote -

Availability in Location Items section
For a journal, each value in the calculated availability is calculated independently, based on the lowest and highest value of the items, even if they do not come from the same items.
I.E: if we have the following items:
2022,1 to 2022,4 and 2023,1in Summon the availability is displayed with:
from:1 2022 until:4 2023instead of
from:1 2022 until:1 2023We would like change the summary calculation in availability.

Start Collecting E Media reports (IR_M1) in Intota
The COUNTER IRM1 report is necessary for ACRL IPEDS survey's e-media usage reporting. As many academic libraries must comply with this reporting, It would be greatly appreciated if you could begin collecting IRM1 reports.

removing the red “-1” Content Type exclusion indicator
suggest removing the red “-1” Content Type exclusion indicator. We feel it comes across to users like a warning or error – an alert that is negative in nature. The navy “Selected” box at the top of the facet pane is a much friendlier and more useful indicator, and the exclusions are well marked in the Content type list itself, so the red “-1” indicator feels redundant and potentially misleading. If removing it isn't possible or palatable, please allow it to be disabled in the Summon admin module.
