    This is a parity issue in development, as not an issue for Primo via Back Office.

    Thanks for picking this up so quickly, Rael!
    I've been in contact with the original host site for APO (Swinburne), and they've indicated support on their end, and that there were discussions last year with Informit to provide content for discovery.
    So, I have my fingers crossed that this one is a smooth road.

    Note: Ex Libris developed local extensions as their solution to this problem, but they are not mandatory, so individuals may still freely add local fields to shared CZ records.

    It is worth noting as well that Publishing Information is also not available to staff even with the 'Read only' type of Administrator role, despite the data itself being 'read only'.

    Hi Mary - I've written a CKC on how to identify troublesome collections like this: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Community_Knowledge/How_to_-_Find_Central_Discovery_Index_(CDI)_records_for_specific_collections_in_Primo
    You can then move the collection into expanded search by ticking the box to 'Do not show as Full Text on CDI...', and remove it completely by checking Not Active in CDI Search Activation Status. It's good to report these also to Ex Libris though in a case.

    This behaviour should be available to change in your institution by the 'Find GetIt services based on standard identifiers only' setting added in the March 2020 Release. Prior to this release, a title / author match is done when there is no standard identifier, but with that release, a site can choose to swap to only matching by standard identifier.

    Perhaps try using Gabriele Hofler's Primo PNX bookmarklet instead? It has XML output and makes it much easier to activate PNX view with one click, rather than having to add text to the URL.

    We'd want the option to do this by Fulfillment Unit though, rather than only an off or on setting at the institution level, as things like loans for 2 hours that circulate quickly and that users actively wait for need a time stamp.

    Commenting to note that such functionality should be for the Primo UI in general, regardless of deployment model ie for both Primo on Back Office and Primo VE via Alma, with the expectation that development is for functional parity for all customers.

    I'm not seeing 'the' highlighted in my Primo, Lacey.
    Can you provide a link to your environment?

    There is some small coverage of this in the Events subject area like Courtesy and Overdue notices, but I agree that it's sorely lacking. Letter information is often a key part of workflows, such as for Purchase Requests query as part of the KPIs for Acquisitions and it's a big gap not to include this within all relevant SAs (rather than more in the separate Events).

    Yes. Thank you. This was not a problem from our original implementation in 2016 and only started maybe in 2019. Presumably because Ex Libris is not continuing to manage effectively new versions of Chrome to maintain the field setting. For browser based software, this is essential, and should not be forced on the customer to try to find workarounds or disable browser functions.

    I've submitted this for Primo NERS 2020.
    Title: Add a proximity search operator
    Request ID: 6682
    Description: A proximity operator allows a researcher to specify that their search terms are present in records within a specified number of words from each other.
    Summon already incorporates this feature, performed by enclosing search terms in quotation marks and using tilde and the number distance, for example "yeast bread"~10 finds material where "yeast" and "bread" appear within 10 words of each other.
    See https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Summon/Product_Documentation/Searching_in_The_Summon_Service/Search_Features/Summon%3A_Boolean%2C_Phrase%2C_Wildcard_and_Proximity_Searching#proximity
    Primo’s search algorithm incorporates an out-of-the-box assignment of higher ranking to records where search terms are closer together, but a proximity search operator gives a researcher explicitly more control over precise targeting of their search, which would also help to build greater understanding and confidence that the results will meet their needs and aren’t just from a mysterious “black box”.
    With CDI coming soon to Primo, along with the massive increase in records, this trust building will be even more important to support researchers with tools to help sift through billions of results.
    This tool should primarily support PNX and equivalent record metadata (both Primo via Back Office and Primo VE deployment models), but ideally would also incorporate standard existing extensions to remote data where available, including table of contents, abstracts, and full text.
    See Idea Exchange submission: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/19308214-proximity-search-operator-for-fulltext-search-in-p

    I would love to see this in Primo, for full text and for record metadata, which are both available in Summon.
    Our site was on Summon when I was studying myself and I constantly used this functionality for my research and assignments, as a key strategy to improve ranking of results for several keywords.
    It is a vital tool for topic searches for beginner and more advanced researchers alike, to help sift through the hundreds of millions of results, by improved targeting of results and moving them into prominent position.
