    This seems like a defect rather than an enhancement, as Primo VE is marketed as indexing for changes within 15 minutes.

    No disrespect intended as this is so beautifully detailed and clear as to this issue, but I am concerned that this would be in Idea Exchange. The premise of this platform is for enhancements, not for defects which Ex Libris has decided not to prioritise fixing.

    Please be aware that hiding GES or service by Display Logic Rules still shows the details in the OpenURL Context Object, and only hides the details from UI.

    I suggest to move this submission to the Primo Idea Exchange, as submitted to Alma Idea Exchange but solely for Primo functionality.

    I agree this is very clunky for VE.
    In Primo with BO, you can see all the information easily by frame source and adding &displayCTO=true, which I added as a bookmarklet to be triggered in one click.
    In Primo VE, first you have to trigger Display CTO, which very annoyingly refreshes the display from the full record overlay to a full page, losing your place in the search results. Then the CTO display is still missing the Target URL. So then you have to find the Incoming URL, copy this, paste it into a doc, add &debug=true&svc_dat=CTO to the URL, copy the URL, paste it back into the browser.

    I agree that the current development is misleading and unclear. It is completely obvious that there is a user expectation immediately established that the presence of such a visual element indicates a user-generated change, regardless of by form, text, whatever.
    And that this visual element being not present indicates no such change.
    It feels like lazy development that this feature was not made complete to match this user expectation and the desirable outcome to have Alma clearly indicate all user-generated changes without having to constantly click to see this instead.

    I know it doesn't match exactly your idea as a premise, but perhaps just disable the field if it is causing so many problems for you?
    If it adds no value, there is no point having it, so that is a factor you'd have to consider if it's useful to you at all for some use case.
    We decided several years ago to remove it when it was a display field only which was meaningless and only caused staff confusion as to what they should do if it had passed.
    We haven't regretted it for a moment.

    The 'Search inside' functionality should perform an advanced search by keyword + the ISSN of the record.
    This should therefore not show articles from completely different titles, in not matching to ISSN.
    I checked one at a VE site by "Search inside" keyword of teaching, and the outcome Advanced search was: Any field contains teaching AND ISSN contains 0022331X

    Could you perhaps provide an example where you have articles returned which are for other titles?

    I agree that there should be personalisation options in this area to allow patrons to set their own defaults, and for consistency this should be in the Personal Details and Settings area.
    This should be for all Primo customers, not just those using Primo VE.

    I also wanted to note that there are technically 'locks' available but they are not clear to a patron as only shown by the URL and not as a UI feature.
    These URL based locks ensure that features such as Saved Searches correctly record the search state saved by the patron to their Favourites and for any records sent by weekly email for Saved Search Alerts.

    Expand toggle
    • Initial search – no indication in the URL
    • Once expand toggle is enabled, the following is added to the URL: &pcAvailability=true
    • If the expand toggle is then disabled, the following is change in the URL: &pcAvailability=false

    Fulltext toggle
    • Initial search – no indication in the URL
    • Once fulltext toggle is enabled, the following is added to the URL: &searchInFulltext=true
    • If the fulltext toggle is then disabled, the following is change in the URL: &searchInFulltext=false

    It is definitely clunkier than simply allowing users to set defaults, but technically you could suggest that a patron bookmark a URL directly into Primo after using the toggles as above to set the URL element, or to use their Saved Searches for this to navigate from there, and you can provide saved URLs also with this.
    Not ideal, but at least it is some answer to give to upset patrons to workaround this UI issue.

    In February 2023 Ex Libris advised more sources of Peer-Reviewed information:

    "In CDI, records are marked as Peer Reviewed if they are published in a journal that is marked as Refereed/Peer-Reviewed in Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (Ulrichsweb).
    In addition to the journal-level indication from Ulrich's, CDI also provides a Peer Reviewed indication from few other providers’ source records: ERIC, Onepetro, Erau digitalcommons and Almandumah."

    Hi - Best to submit ideas to the forum where the issue is expressed ie a suggestion for Primo functionality to the Primo Idea Exchange.
    Note: Ex Libris moved the submission from Alma to Primo after I added this comment.

    But regardless I don't hold much hope as Ex Libris has consistently denied indexing for item level information due to impact on performance and the high load of indexing it would require for constant changes.
    Even for barcode which was delivered this year, it could only be fulfilled by API call, not indexing: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/38113540-barcode-search-in-primo

    If implemented, please fulfill as an addition, not a change.
    We find creation date valuable, but would appreciate also to have updated date.
    There should be no need to sacrifice one for another.

    I've tested this and they all work to change to display the service or not depending on the setting and resource.
    Who told you they don't work and that it would be an enhancement to correct an in-system non-functioning feature?

    An excellent idea. This is one of the reasons we don't use this feature. It is needed not just for VE though, but for all Primo customers.

    I live in fear of accidentally clicking a default radio button for this reason! Or for one of my fellow admins at our site to do this.
    I've never gotten around to doing a case myself, but I wonder if anyone has and been advised by Ex Libris that this is actually an enhancement request as opposed to a defect?
    It certainly seems to me to be a defect that you cannot unselect a default, and wonder what justification there would be for deliberately designing this into a product.

    I wish I had more votes spare for this. I support it both for giving Admins autonomy to manage this area, including by cutting down on time wasted with Salesforce cases, plus also it is ridiculous that the admin customer sees only the view full of codes that often do not match the actual outcome of change, and the vendor gets the lovely clearly well-designed UI. This is completely opposite to what it should be, though ideally both admin and vendor gets both.

    I reported this factor for Contextual Relationships in June 2019.
    It was advised: "the book chapters are not displayed in a specific order, because we don't have the necessary data for that, when the chapters are found in the related item call."

    I concur with Andy's comments that the existing feature to hide terms applies to both local and CDI records, which I confirmed in my Sandbox testing.
    We do not use this in Production partly per Andy's comment also that the feature is only for display.
