    Hi - This can be done by adding Loan Status to the fields in the Loans List. It will show with data such as Normal, Renewed, Recalled, etc.

    I would also like to add that my preferred development for this would be to do away with the Popular Searches SA completely and replace it with a new Search Strings SA. This should be on the same daily ETL as all the other SAs (unlike the monthly aggregation for Popular Searches), and offer all the other functionality of the other SAs such as granularity of date fields down to the search date by day.

    The OpenURL was added in April 2019, and Article Title and Book Title are also available (not sure from when though).

  4. Please allow URLs & portfolio ID to be exported from a portfolio set or portfolio list of an e-collection.

    Hi,
    Could you explain more, as when I do a Repository Search by Electronic Collection and then run the Export URLs job, I get a csv file with the Electronic Collections listed at the top with their 61 ID and URL and then - for instances where they have portfolios - the list of 53 IDs and URLs for the Portfolios.

    Interesting! I hadn't noticed this before, and it's not very good :(
    I agree that Alma changes are undesirable and I would think PCI data changes are unlikely given the scale, so the best option would seem to be to adjust the search index behaviour.
    I found an example in our instance, and you're on the money that the PCI record includes the initial article in Sort, whereas Alma OTB norm rules strip it.
    PCI

  7. Add 245 subfield c to Primo display

    Hi,
    I agree that’s not ideal at all. Adding the 245 c to the Title is one of the first things we configured locally during our Primo BO Implementation. I see from the guide that it is indeed hard coded and I believe the only option for adding MARC fields in VE at the moment is to create a whole new local field, which is obviously only useful in practice for completely new MARC fields not already hard coded, and especially not Title which is such a key one. This seems like a pretty clear cut use case for VE sites to be able to customise display. Out of curiosity, did Ex Libris suggest this Idea Exchange submission, Lori?
    Cheers,

    Hi Lori, I added the 245 subfield c to Display in our Alma normalization rules in the Primo Back Office. If you are not Total Care, you should be able to do this also, otherwise I believe Total Care sites can open a SalesForce case to ask for it to be done.

    Good point, Ann, as it is a bit cumbersome to muck about with accounts. The ability to masquerade easily would be a nice one for staff to have. I wonder how that could be implemented just for staff though, as I wouldn't think it'd be something you'd want to make available for users. A snazzy concept for admins though, so I've added a vote :)

    Sorry if I am not understanding this correctly, but can you not set up test accounts for this sort of display and functionality configuration testing?
    Or briefly change your account to the different user group? Obviously that’s predicated on your role privileges in Alma, but I would assume you would have this level given the nature of the question and the work?

    I agree that the policy set by the institution should be upheld regardless of the method for removing a user account.
    I also find it confusing that the 'Delete User Policy' is completely disregarded when you delete a user account manually directly in the account, but it is taken into account when running the Purge Users job. Why is it not called 'Purge User Policy'?

  10. Set default encoding level for Export RIS in New UI

    I've smoothed out our workflow a little as a workaround by changing 'Encoding' to 'UTF-8' in the Keeping This Item Tile Code Table. The little drop down arrow still appears with just UTF-8 listed, but hopefully users will just go straight to Download. This only works as a bit of a kludge though because we only have the one encoding option enabled, so more configuration options are still sorely needed.

    We'd also had feedback from users that the New UI display for Export RIS is confusing and takes many more clicks than is necessary.
    We would love to see this idea implemented, with more configuration options such as:
    * Allow encoding options to be relabelled, for example to change UTF-8 to EndNote UTF-8
    * Allow encoding options to be reordered, for example to move UTF-8 to the top of the list
    * If all bar one encoding option has been disabled, clicking on RIS should trigger the download. Clicks currently needed: 1st click on RIS, 2nd click on Encoding, 3rd click on UTF-8, and 4th click on Download. Or, if a user figures out that steps can be skipped: 1st click on RIS and 2nd click on Download

    What a great idea! It would make Analytics so much more user friendly to have more guides and Alma specific search index information in-system. Out of curiosity, did Ex Libris suggest the submission of this idea after a SalesForce case?
