[Wactclc-alma] ideas for PRIMO

[Daniel Moore]

Hey John,

Some of these are pretty quick, others might take some more time. But I did
want to mention that, somehow, the circles and screenshots aren't lining up
for me.

   1. Those options underneath the search box are called the pre-filters,
   and they are configured in the Discovery Module -> Configure Views ->
   Advanced Search Configuration. The checkbox "enable for basic search" is
   what activates them on the basic search screen.
   2. Ordering of search slots (nee scopes) appears in Discovery -
   Configure Views - Search Profile slots. Reorder as you see fit.
   3. These lines are called "public notes" and are configured at the
   Electronic Collections level. See:
   https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/040Resource_Management/050Inventory/020Managing_Electronic_Resources
and
   search for "public note."
   4. This I'm not so sure... Do you mean in the facets pane?
   5. (Just saw that you found this.)
   6. This is a trickier one. There's text that you can edit on the new
   search page, but that requires the Primo Customization Package. It's not
   overly difficult once you get going, but the main drawback is that this
   content will only appear on the new search page. There are other solutions
   - you can use the Resource Recommender to target specific queries and
   display a helpbox encouraging users to go directly to the database. Other
   schools have built small Angular customizations that add text on other
   screens, example:
   https://natlib-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/jsearch?vid=NLNZ&lang=en_US&sortby=rank.
   There's varying degrees of complexity for each of these solutions so it
   ultimately depends on how much time you have to devote to this problem
   versus what end result you'd like the user to see.
   7. This I'm also not so sure on. Maybe a video tutorial?
