    This is not relevant any longer in our view. I removed my vote, but can't close the idea.

    Same, but for all elements in the full title display
    https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/44695381-ability-to-collapse-elements-in-full-title-display

    It would be ok for me transfer the votes from here to the other idea and close/delete this one. I'm not able to edit the first post here.

    If this can be achieved by adding a condition to CARLI's js code, please post here?

    Related, should become possible with the December 2022 release:

    SF: 6452071
    Unable to change the order of the top-level facets through CSS. This has been fixed.

    Also, this order should be persistent accross multiple interface languages.

    Ours is set to alphabetical now, which means it's different in the diffetent languages.

    Hi

    > even though items from another location [...] are present for use and borrowing

    We have the same problem with books in our open stacks: they can not be requested online for pickup in the owning library.

    We haven't found a way to communicate this to the patrons, because there are two different situations:

    A)
    The book is on shelf in the open stacks; no online request for pickup in the owning library is possible.

    B)
    The books is on loan. In this case it _is_ possible to place a request (reservation) for pickup in the owning library.

    It would be great if there was a way to add an information for the patrons that display only if the item is in place on the shelf (in our older system, this was a pop up message).

    Not a version control system, but with the November 2022 release you can add notes to tables = you can use this as a changelog.

    I follow Orbis Cascade Alliance's "Primo VE Toolkit" – thank you so much for making it public! – and found this by Tamara Marnell:

    https://www.orbiscascade.org/programs/systems/pcsg/primo-ve-toolkit/same-tab-menu-links

    The full code by Jeremy McWilliams from Lewis & Clark College is available via
    https://github.com/alliance-pcsg/ve-central-package/blob/8fddeb8bc6624958572638a6c0b0d9cb3a4100ac/01ALLIANCE_NETWORK-CENTRAL_PACKAGE/js/custom.js#L1320

    In Tamara's words:

    "However, this functionality could be provided in a much better way by Ex Libris, because they have control over components we don't. This code uses intervals to repeatedly check whether the menu links exist until they do, then changes their target properties. It's very inefficient because we don't have a better way to do it through customization packages, but Ex Libris developers would."

    I completely agree – please fix this, Ex Libris. All main menu links should open within the browser tab, unless the user decides otherwise.

    Also, the active browser tab should be visually distinguished from the inactive ones.

    > That's external. It makes sense for it to be a new tab so that the user doesn't have to
    > navigate back to their search results.

    I don't agree. This should be the users' decision: if they want to open a link in a new tab, they can do so.

    (See also the two references in my first comment).

    Not "only" external links in the main menu should stay in the same tab, but also the help page.

    Hi Nili, can I ask where we stand with this?

    'Under review' since March 2021.

    (We'd like to use the normalization rule on 856 for something else than just suppressing the field, this is how I landed here.)

    > In Primo Back Office it is possible ...

    A parity issue, then.

    Info via Stacey van Groll:

    The Primo (but not the Primo VE!) release notes for August 2022 have been changed after the release to add the following information:

    "In an upcoming release, we plan to add an option to set the default for the new personal settings."

    ---

    I'm quite sure the change will come for Primo and Primo VE.

    But I completely agree: a simple "copy" button in Alma (like in Aleph) is missing.

    I'm also really missing the proxy function that we used extensively in Alma; this did not make it through the NERS voting though.

    Hi

    There is a Cloud App for this which should work.

    Careful: the "to" patron comes before the "from" patron.
