Discovery Interface Display Logic

Configuring Display Logic Rules

To configure display logic rules, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

Display logic rules define when the following fulfillment services should not appear in Primo:

Booking request – Request to reserve an item at a specific time.
DB service – Link to the native interface of a third-party database.
Digitization – Request to have an item or part of an item scanned so that it can be viewed on a computer.
Full text – View the full text for an item online.
General electronic services – Links that can be created by an institution for any purpose.
General hold request – Request to have an item held at a circulation desk when the holdings record is empty, or request an issue for a journal regardless of whether any of its issues have been cataloged. For more information on general hold requests, see Creating a General Hold Request.
Hold request – Request to have an item held at a circulation desk.
Open Access – View open access full text (for example, hide open access if full text exists or hide full text if open access exists).
Purchase request – Request an item to be purchased. For more information, see Purchase Requests.
Representation Delivery Service – View a digital item.
Resource sharing request – Request to retrieve an item from another institution when the patron's institution does not have the item.
Selected full text – Links to full text (full text may not be available to all articles in the Journal).

For more information about requests, see Requests in Alma.
For information on how to customize the request forms, see Customizing Primo Request Forms and Customizing Primo Resource Sharing Forms.

You configure display logic rules on the Discovery Interface Display Logic page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Display Logic Rules).

Discovery Interface Display Logic Page

Display logic rules can be configured at the institution level only. Select the required institution from the Configuring filter on the Fulfillment Configuration page.
All relevant and applicable rules are applied. If a subsequent (lower) rule conflicts with a previous (higher) rule, Alma applies the first rule.

The following actions can be performed on this page:

Add a display logic rule (see Adding Display Logic Rules)
Edit a display logic rule (select Edit from the row actions list)
Duplicate a display logic rule (select Duplicate from the row actions list)
Enable or disable a display logic rule. Each row can be enabled or disabled individually with the Active slider. Or select a group of rules and select Deactivate Selected or Activate Selected from the actions.
Delete a display logic rule (select Remove from the row actions list)

You cannot edit the parameters of an existing display logic rule. You can delete the rule and then add a new rule.

See the Discovery - Display Logic Rules training session.

For examples of working with discovery display logic, see Display Logic Rules Examples.

The following display logic rules are available out-of-the-box. These rules are active, by default:

Hide service Representation Quick Access – hides the Quick Access section in Primo VE
Hide service Representation Quick Access with Obtrusive Copyrights (Alma representations only) = true – hides representations with obtrusive copyrights from the Quick Access section in Primo
Hide service Representation Delivery Service with Usage Type = Auxiliary – hides representations with the usage type of Auxiliary from the Quick Access section in Primo

Adding Display Logic Rules

You can add new display logic rules. Rules apply for all libraries in the institution. By default, new rules are enabled.

To add a new display logic rule:

On the Discovery Interface Display Logic page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Display Logic Rules), select Add Rule. The Add Rule dialog box appears.
From the For user from groups drop-down list, select one or more groups to which to apply the rule. If you do not select a group, the rule applies to all user groups.

In the Hide service drop-down list, select the service(s) that the rule hides.

Depending on your selection, either with or without fields (or both) appear to allow you to provide a logical constraint about when to hide the service. The fields that appear depend on your selection. See the following table.

with – Optionally select the type of service for which this service will not appear: Electronic Collection, Interface, or Service.
with value – Optionally enter one or more specific packages, interfaces, or service names for which this service will not appear.

Add Rule Fields
Hide Service	with	with value
Booking, Digitization, General Hold Request, Hold Request	N/A	N/A
DB Service	Electronic Collection	Select one or more electronic collection name(s).
Full Text, Selected Full Text, General Digitization Request	Interface	Select one or more interface or electronic collection name(s). Both Community Zone and local interfaces are available.
Full Text, Selected Full Text, General Digitization Request	Electronic Collection
General Electronic Service	Service	Select a general electronic service.
Open Access Note that this service appears when the enable_open_access_services_from_unpaywall_api customer parameter is set to true. See Open Access for more information.	N/A	N/A
Purchase Request	Availability by the campus	Select true to hide the service if the resource cannot be requested for availability on the campus. Otherwise, select false.
	Availability by the institution	Select true to hide the service if the resource cannot be requested for availability on the institution. Otherwise, select false.
	Ownership by the campus	Select true to hide the service if the resource cannot be requested for ownership by the campus. Otherwise, select false.
	Ownership by the institution	Select true to hide the service if the resource cannot be requested for ownership by the institution. Otherwise, select false.
Representation Delivery Service, Representation Quick Access	Access Rights	Select true to hide the service if the resource has access rights configured. Otherwise, select false.
	Public Note	Hide a representation in Primo, depending on the value of the Public Note field of the representation. The following are examples of regular expressions with which you can configure the Display Logic Rules to hide representations when the expressions are in the Public Note field. A flag can be used to determine if the expression is case sensitive or not: /Restricted Access/ - Matches a public note containing the phrase Restricted Access, case sensitive. /Restricted Access/i - Matches a public note containing the phrase Restricted Access, case insensitive. /^(?!Open Access$)- Matches a public note that does not equal Open Access, case sensitive. /^((?!Open Access).)*$/i - Matches a public note that does not contain the phrase Open Access, case insensitive.
	Usage Type	Select master to hide the service for representations with the usage type of master and select derivative to hide the service for representations with the usage type of derivative.
	Representation Type	Select remote to hide the service for remote representations and select non-remote to hide the service for remote representations.
	Viewer	Select a viewer to hide the service if the resource is configured to be displayed by that viewer.
	Obtrusive Copyrights (Representation Quick Access only)	Hide the service if the resource is configured with obtrusive copyrights enabled.
Resource Sharing Request	Availability by the campus	Select true to hide the service if the resource is available on campus. Otherwise, select false.
	Availability by the institution	Select true to hide the service if the resource is available at the institution. Otherwise, select false.
	Ownership by the campus	Select true to hide the service if the resource is owned by the campus. Otherwise, select false.
	Ownership by the institution	Select true to hide the service if the resource is owned by the institution. Otherwise, select false.
	Resource Sharing System	Select a resource sharing system.

To hide the service if another service exists, in the If exists service multiple select drop-down list, select the other service(s).
Depending on your selection, either with or without fields (or both) appear to allow you to provide a logical constraint about the existence of the other service. See the table above for information about the fields.

For resource sharing requests, if a resource has holdings without items, it is not considered self-owned. To hide resources that have holdings without items, hide the Resource Sharing Request service if the General Hold Request service exists.
Select one of the following:
- Add – Add the rule but leave the dialog box open so that you can add additional rules.
- Add and Close – Add the rule and close the dialog box.
If you define more than one rule, on the Discovery Interface Display Logic page, use the Move Up and Move Down arrows to set the order of the rules. Alma applies the enabled rules in the configured order.

Display Logic Rule Examples

The following rule hides the display of EBSCOhost Consumer Health Complete if the service page includes or displays any full text from EBSCOhost.

EBSCOhost is identified as the interface in this example.

Example Display Logic Rule

The following rule specifies that if full text is available from Factiva, hide the display of full text from all other packages and interfaces (which is indicated by the blank options associated with the hide service parameter).

Configuring Service Labels in the Discovery Interface

To configure labels, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

This section applies only to Primo. For information regarding Primo VE and Alma-Summon environments, see the following pages:

The Discovery Interface Labels Code Table page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Labels) contains predefined labels that appear in Primo. You cannot add or remove these labels, but you can edit the label’s text to meet your requirements. For more information about code tables, see Code Tables.

Discovery Interface Labels Code Table (Partial Listing)

Labels can be configured at the institution level only. Select the required institution from the Configuring filter on the Fulfillment Configuration page.
The Enabled column is not functional on this page and will be removed in an upcoming release.
For user-created license terms that appear in Primo, see Viewing User-Created License Terms that Appear in Primo.
In addition to configuring labels, you can hide certain services, such as Request a different issue and Don't see what you need? Request anyway by configuring a display logic rule to hide a General Hold Request service. See Adding Display Logic Rules above.

In addition, you can add HTML code to these fields to change the display of labels. For example, if you modify the following field as indicated, the output appears as displayed in the figure below.

c.uresolver.request.request_type = Request Type: <font color=red>ALL FIELDS REQUIRED!</font>

Configuring Related Records for Electronic Services

This section applies only to Primo. For information on how to configure related records in Primo VE and Alma-Summon environments, see Configuring Related Record Services for Primo VE

Related records indicate to the OpenURL link resolver that, when a user receives a certain record in the search results, another record should also be returned as related. The MARC linking entries (MARC fields 76X-78X) are used to link bibliographic records and to differentiate their relationships to users. For electronic services, the configuration of related records are useful for the following reasons:

Articles sought by users may be available only in related versions of the journal.
Metadata in the OpenURL can be for one publication, but in fact, a related journal by another name is what the end user sought.
Vendors may list previous or newer versions in their holdings causing inconsistencies in the Community Zone. For example, the journal Civil Engineering Systems is now named Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems.

In the following example, View It displays the available services for the discovered record and the host record:

Related Records as Shown in View It

A close relation indicates that the two records should be considered identically useful in the search results. If the record requested in the OpenURL has close relations (MARC 773 and 774) with another record, electronic services for the related record are included in View It, with no indication that these services are for the related record. To the user, it seems as if these services are for the record sent in the OpenURL. Since the relation type is very close, it can be considered equivalent; and as far as the user is concerned, no distinction needs to be made. Other types of relations are considered remote and are listed under the Services for Related Titles section in View It.

To configure close relations to appear in the same section as the related titles in View It, see the Display closely related record services option in Enabling the Display of Related Records in Primo.

Modifying the Display Labels for Related Electronic Services

The DISCOVERY_INTERFACE_LABELS code table page enables you to modify the following labels in View It:

Title – The following code defines the label that displays above the list of related records in View It:
c.uresolver.ServicesForRelatedTitles
Relationship – The label that appears for each related entry in View It and Get It. To modify a label, see the relevant relationship in the table below.

Related Records as Shown in View It

See the illustrations below for examples of entries in the Discovery Interface Labels table (DISCOVERY_INTERFACE_LABELS).

Discovery Interface Labels Table - Services for Related Titles

Discovery Interface Labels Table - Additional Form

The following table presents the correlation between the MARC fields defined in the bibliographic record and the out-of-the-box labels that appear for each type of relation in View It. For information on modifying labels, see Configuring Service Labels in the Discovery Interface.

The labels and information that appear in the Primo's Details section is determined by the normalization rules that are defined in Primo.

Configuring Direct Linking

To configure direct linking, you must have one of the following roles:

Fulfillment Administrator
General System Administrator

Direct linking configuration enables Alma to skip the Services page and menu and link immediately to an electronic service (such as full text) when coming from an OpenURL-enabled source. If the OpenURL context object contains multiple electronic services, the OpenURL link resolver displays the first electronic service in the list (if the Enable direct linking and Enable direct linking when multiple services are available options are enabled). You can configure the order of the services in the Online Services Order page (see Configuring Online Services Order).

You configure direct linking on the Direct Linking Configuration page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Direct Linking). On this page you can enable direct linking and specify situations in which direct linking is overridden.

Direct Linking Configuration Page

You can only configure direct linking at the institution level. Select the required institution from the Configuring filter on the Fulfillment Configuration page.

To configure direct linking:

On the Direct Linking Configuration page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Direct Linking), select Yes from the Enable direct linking parameter to enable direct linking.

Selecting No indicates that the electronic service is not accessed directly from the search results in Primo, and users must select the service from a list provided by your link resolver (SFX or Alma).

Selecting Yes enables direct linking and the other configuration parameters.

Configure the other parameters which allow you to control direct linking based on the record. Refer to the table below for an explanation of your options.

Direct Linking Configuration Options
Parameter	Description
Enable direct linking when multiple services are available	Enable direct linking even when more than one electronic service is available for the record.
Disable direct linking when Open Access service is available	Select this option to disable direct linking when an Open Access Service is available. See Open Access for more information.
Disable direct link when additional information is available: Authentication note Public Note	Disable direct linking even when additional information is available for the record. Authentication note Disable direct linking when a record's services contain an authentication note. Public note Disable direct linking when a record's services contain a public note.
Disable direct linking for electronic collections	Select this option to disable direct linking when the first service (result) in the View It service list is a match between the search in the discovery system and the electronic collection's bib record. The electronic collection’s level URL will appear first in the View It service list in two cases: It is the only service available in the View It service list (single result in the View It). The electronic collection service result is configured to appear first in the View It service results list via the Online Services Order and Display Logic Rules configurations. See Configuring Online Services Order and Configuring Display Logic Rules for more information.
Disable direct linking for journals	When Yes is selected for Enable direct linking and Disable direct linking for journals is selected, direct linking is disabled under the following conditions: When the Electronic material type for a portfolio is set to Journal. Electronic Material Type Set to Journal Any other electronic material type setting will not be considered and treated like a journal. When Alma determines from the OpenURL that there is no indication of article-level attributes like the following: Page(s) indication (rft.spage, rft.epage, rft.pages) Doi (rft_id" source1="(info:doi/.)\|(doi:.)) Pmid (rft_id" source1="(info:pmid/.)\|(pmid:.) For example: …&rft_id=pmid:28274348&…) Oaid (rft_id" source1="(info:oai/.)\|(oai:arXiv:.)) The setting for the Linking level parameter in the Electronic Service Editor is ignored, even when it is set to Journal. Related to disabling direct linking to journals, the following OpenURL attributes are supported: Force_direct=true – This overrides any Alma configuration regarding direct linking and forces using direct linking. Force_direct=false – This overrides any Alma configuration regarding direct linking and does not force using direct linking. sfx.directlink=force – This is treated like Force_direct=true. “disable_directlink=true&sfx.directlink=off” – This is treated like Force_direct=false. If both an enable direct linking and a disable direct linking attribute are stated in an OpenURL, the attribute related to disabling direct linking takes priority.
Disable direct linking for digital resources	Permits institutions to enable direct linking for electronic resources, while disabling only for digital resources.

Configuring General Electronic Services

To configure general electronic services, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

This section applies only to Primo. For information on how to configure general electronic services in Primo VE, see Configuring General Electronic Services for Primo VE

In addition to services found in your own collection (such as full text, requests, and so forth), Alma enables you to define general HTTP services (such as searches in ProQuest dissertations and Amazon.com, Ask a Librarian, and so forth) to present to patrons in Primo. To have these services appear in Leganto, see Enabling General Electronic Services in Leganto.

Electronic Service Example (Primo View It)

In order to create a general electronic service, you must be familiar with the syntax of the service’s URL, which includes any parameters that are required to query or access specific information from the service. The service’s URL along with OpenURL context object attributes returned from Alma’s link resolver are used to define the URL template, which Alma uses to create the service link that appears in View It and/or Get It.

In addition, you can configure the following display settings for general electronic services:

Specify service order – see Configuring General Electronic Services Order
Define display logic rules – see Configuring Display Logic Rules

You can also share your general electronic services in the Community Zone, and use general electronic services defined by other institutions. See Sharing General Electronic Services in the Community Zone.

To configure general electronic services:

Open the General Electronic Services Configuration page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > General Electronic Services). In addition to the columns that are visible on the General Electronic Services list, the Item Level column may be added to the view in the view configuration.

General Electronic Services List
Select Add Service. The Add Service dialog box opens.

Add Service Dialog Box

Enter the following service information:

Service Code – The internal code for the service.
Service Name – The internal name used for the service.
Service Description – The description of the service.
Public Name – The label for the link that displays in View It and/or Get It.
Public Note – The note or description of the service that displays below the link in View It and/or Get It.
Is this a Document Delivery/ILL Service – (Applies only to Alma-Summon and Primo VE environments.) Choose one of the following options: Yes indicates that this service provides access to the resource and will appear in the specified display location. No indicates that the links to the general electronic service will display in the Links section.
Display Location – Specify the areas in Primo in which the link displays. The following options are valid: None, Getit & How To Getit, Viewit & How To Getit, Getit, viewit & How To Getit, and How To Getit only.

The display of general electronic services is based on the service's availability rules that are defined with the Service Availability Rules tab, which appears while editing a general electronic service. For more details, see step 5. See Configuring Display Logic Rules if you want to hide the general electronic service based on additional criteria (such as the existence of another type of service or the type of user).
URL Template – The URL where the patron is redirected when the external service link is selected.

The URL substitutes OpenURL fields that are enclosed in brackets ( "{" and "}") with the relevant values. For example, the referring URL’s ISBN is substituted into a URL containing: ...&isbn={rft.isbn}&...

For example, the URL for an Amazon search for a specific ISBN:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords={rft.isbn}

When connecting to a resource sharing broker, ensure that this field contains an attribute corresponding to the broker in use. For example, when using the OCLC broker:

http://xxx.worldcat.org/oclc/{rft.oclcnum}

ILLiad - Books/Book Items (based on your institution’s base URL). For example:

http://libill.XXX.edu/illiad/illiad.dll?Action=10&Form=30&rft.genre={rft.genre}&rft.title={rft.btitle}&rft.stitle={rft.stitle}&rft.atitle={rft.atitle}&rft.date={rft.pubdate}&rft.month={rft.month}&rft.volume={rft.volume}&rft.issue={rft.issue}&rft.number={rft.number}&rft.epage={rft.epage}&rft.spage={rft.spage}&rft.edition={rft.edition}&rft.isbn={rft.isbn}&rft.eisbn={rft.eisbn}&rft.au={rft.aulast},{rft.aufirst}&rft.auinit={rft.auinit}&rft.pub={rft.pub}&rft.publisher={rft.publisher}&rft.place={rft.place}&rft.doi={rft.doi}&rfe_dat={rft.oclcnum}&rfr_id={rfr_id}

The following values can be specified in the URL Template parameter between the curly brackets used for normalizing the ISBN, ISSN, eISBN, or eISSN:
- rft.normalized_isbn
  
  This normalization removes the text after digits and the hyphen (-) and converts ISBN 10 to ISBN 13
- rft.normalized_issn
  
  This normalization removes the text after digits and changes text to lower case.
- rft.normalized_Eisbn
  
  This normalization removes the text after digits and the hyphen (-) and converts ISBN 10 to ISBN 13.
- rft.normalized_Eissn
  
  This normalization removes the text after digits and changes text to lower case.
For more information regarding OpenURL, refer to the following:
- Commonly Used OpenURL Attributes for the URL Template
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenURL
- Specific vendor web sites for OpenURL details

Item Level - Select yes to show the link next to each item that matches the input rules. Select no to show the link at the holding level. This field is only active when the Display Location field is Getit or None.

To prevent potential performance issues, the Item level General Electronic Services cannot be used for the If Exists portion of Display Logic Rules.

When the General Electronic Service is added as an item level service, the URL template may be configured to make use of the following Holdings and item level information:

Holdings/Item Element	Name of Place Holder
Current Library (Code)	Library
Current Location (Code)	Location
Current Call Number	Call_Number
Barcode	Barcode
Material Type (Code)	Material_Type
Current Item Policy (Code)	Item_Policy
MMS ID	BIB MMS_ID
Process Type (Code)	Process_Type
Item description	Description

In addition, it is possible to add fields from the Holdings record to the URL template. The placeholder syntax is HOL_{field}_{indicators}_{subfields}. The use of indicators is optional. For example:

HOL_506_ab - Alma will extract subfields a and subfield b from 506 field. Each subfield will be delimited from the next one with a space. The indicators are not taken into account.
HOL_506_12_df - Alma will extract subfields d and subfield f from 506 field only when indicators 1 and 2 exists. Each subfield will be delimited from the next one with a space.
HOL_506_1#_g - In this scenario, Alma will extract subfields g from 506 field only when the first indicator value is 1 with no dependency on the second indicator.

A sample URL template may be : <baseURL>?LIB={library}&BARCODE={barcode}&FIELD1={HOL_506_ab}.

Select Add and Close. The new service appears on the General Electronic Service page with the following row actions: Remove and Edit.
Edit the new row to configure additional service details.

The Service Details page appears.

Service Details Page (Service Details Tab)
To display this service to signed-in users only, select No in the Enable without login field.
To display this service based on the availability of the physical resource in the institutional repository, select one of the following options for Disable Service:

When a guest user or a user without a configured campus performs any of the campus-level disabling activities, Alma disables/hides the service based on a self-ownership check done at the institution level.
- Never – The service is never disabled.
- When resource is owned by the campus – The service is disabled when physical items for the resource are owned by the campus.
- When resource is owned by the campus and available – The service is disabled when physical items for the resource are owned by the campus and are available (that is, they are not involved in a process).
- When resource is owned by the institution – The service is disabled when there are physical items for the resource that are owned by the institution.
- When resource is owned by the institution and available – The service is disabled when there are physical items for the resource that are owned by the institution, are in place, and are in an open location. Note that if a physical location is set to Unavailable (see Adding a Physical Location) and this option is selected, the service is enabled. You may want to use this option when items in a certain location (such as a reading room) cannot be requested. Setting this location to Unavailable will enable the display of the service.
Select the Service Availability Rules tab.

The Service Availability Rules tab displays the rules that the system uses to determine whether a service should appear for the user. Each service has a default rule that is applied when none of the other rules apply. By default, the system does not display the service (IsDisplay=False). You can edit the default rule and add rules as needed.

Service Availability Rules Tab
Add rules regarding the OpenURL context object attributes (which may be returned by Alma’s link resolver during the user’s search) to ensure that Alma has the necessary information to display the service.
- The available attributes are standard OpenURL attributes. For more information, see Commonly Used OpenURL Attributes for the URL Template.
- The following item level attributes may be used when item level services are configured:
  - material_type
  - item_policy - values are populated from the institution's Item Policy table. See Configuring Item Policies.
  - process_type
  - base_status - values are Item not in place and Item in place.
- Adding parameters within a rule will cause the parameters to have an AND relationship with each other, meaning that all values must be true before the rule is considered true. For OR conditions, where only one of values must be true, parameters should be entered separately in a new rule.
- If multiple rules evaluate to true, the output parameter will be applied based on the first rule that is true.
1. To add a new rule, select Add Rule. The Edit Rule page opens.
  
  Edit Rule Page
2. In the Edit Rule section, enter the rule name (required) and description (optional).
3. In the Input Parameters section, select Add Parameter. The Add Parameter dialog box opens.
  
  Edit Rule Page
4. Enter the following fields:
  - Name – The name of the attribute in the OpenURL context object. For more information about these attributes, see Commonly Used OpenURL Attributes for the URL Template.
  - Operator – The comparison operator to use with this context object attribute.
  - Value – An accepted value for this parameter. To match multiple values, create a separate rule for each value. Note that not all operators require a value.
5. Select Add Parameter. The parameter is added to the input parameter list.
6. In the Output Parameters section, set IsDisplay to true.
7. Select Save. The Service Availability Rules page displays the new rule.

Sharing General Electronic Services in the Community Zone

To share and copy shared General Electronic Services, you must have one of the following roles:

Fulfillment Administrator
General System Administrator

Institutions spend many hours creating general electronic services. In order for these institutions to save time and effort, librarians can contribute their general electronic services to the Community Zone and copy and use the general electronic services that other institutions contributed to the Community Zone. Once the general electronic service has been copied to the institution, the institution can make changes to it in order to customize it for its needs.

When a general electronic service is contributed, all its related rules are contributed as well.

Contributed general electronic service appear in the Community tab on the General Electronic Services page (Alma Configuration > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > General Electronic Services). Copied general electronic services appear in the Institution tab.

The general electronic services set by the network institution also appear in the Institution tab. To distribute the general electronic service to consortia members, the Distribute Fulfillment Network Configuration job is used (see Configuring Fulfillment Information in the Network Zone). This is since these general electronic services are managed by the network institution and therefore, cannot be edited or contributed by the member institution.

To contribute general electronic services to the Community Zone:

From the row actions, select Contribute for a general electronic service on the Institution tab of the General Electronic Services page (Alma Configuration > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > General Electronic Services).

A confirmation message appears.
You can optionally change the Service Code and Service Name.
It is recommended that you change the Description to include detailed information for institutions that will copy the GES.
You can optionally enter or change the name and email address for the Contact person.
Select Confirm. The service appears in the Community tab and can be copied by any institution.

In case the general electronic service has been already contributed by the institution to the CZ, you may also edit and re-contribute an edited general electronic service. The latest general electronic service overwrites the previous general electronic service. This action has no effect on local copies of the general electronic services used by other institutions.

To view contributed general electronic services and/or copy a contributed services:

Open the Community tab on the General Electronic Services page (Alma Configuration > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > General Electronic Services).
To view more information about the general electronic services, from the row actions, select View. The profile details appear.
Select Copy in the row actions list of the general electronic service. The general electronic service is copied to your institution and the new general electronic service is opened for editing. The general electronic service is copied and Its status is Inactive by default.
Edit the general electronic service details to match your requirements.
When you are done, select Save.
Select the Institution tab to view the general electronic service that you copied.

To remove (unshare) a general electronic service you contributed from the Community Zone:

Select Delete in the row actions list of the general electronic service and select Confirm in the confirmation dialog box.

The general electronic service is no longer available to other institutions. However, it is not deleted; you can continue using it in the Institution tab. Also, if another institution already copied this general electronic service, the deletion of your general electronic service has no effect on their local copy.

Configuring Viewer Services

To configure viewer services, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

You can configure the digital file viewers that may appear after selecting to view a digital file (after selecting View It on the search results page; see Using the OpenURL Link Resolver Electronic Services Page). For more information, see the Developer's Network documentation at https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/integrations/digital/almadigital/access. Also see the parameter delivery_service_allowed_origins in Configuring Other Settings.

Viewer Services

There are three viewers available in Alma out-of-the-box: the Internet Archive Book reader, the Alma Viewer, and the Universal Viewer. The Alma Viewer is Alma’s default viewer. It uses the browser’s HTML5 players and so is capable of displaying any format that is natively supported by the different browsers (such as various video, audio, and image formats). For other formats it provides a download option.

The Universal Viewer is based on IIIF – the International Image Interoperability Framework, and it provides advanced capabilities for viewing high-resolution images for the tiff, jpeg, and jpeg2000 formats, such as rotate and zoom-in/zoom-out actions.

The Internet Archive Book reader is also based on IIIF and provides capabilities for viewing images. It allows you to perform text searches in digital files when a full text file is uploaded to Alma.

You can enable, disable, edit, add and remove digital viewers on the Viewer Services page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Viewer Services).

Drag the services and rearrange their order to change the order in which they appear on the View It tab.

To add a digital viewer, select Add Service.

Configuring the Order of Online Services

To configure the order of online services, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

With the Online Services Order page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Online Services Order), you can configure the order of the services that appear in the services results list in View It. By default, all services are displayed alphabetically on the services result list. If a service is added to the top or bottom group on this page, that group is displayed on the services results list in the order that you specify, with the remainder of entries retaining their default sort order. The Display CZ Collections first, Prefer source service, and Prefer ID based Linking services radio buttons also override both the default alphabetic sort order as well as the list of services listed in the Top services section. The top service defined can be used by Primo’s direct linking option, from the search result record.

Online Services Order Page

You can only configure the online services order at the institution level. Select the required institution from the Configuring filter on the Fulfillment Configuration page.

To configure the display order of services:

On the Online Services Order page, select either Add To Top to assign high priority to a service or Add to Last Services to assign low priority to a service. Services that are left unassigned will appear in the middle of the list. The Add Service dialog box opens.

Add Service Dialog Box (Add to Top Option Selected)
In the Service type field, select one of the following service types:
- Full Text
- Selected Full Text
The Service type, DB Service is obsolete and should not be selected.
In the Service name field, select the name for the selected service type. The Service value field appears.
In the Service value field, browse and select a service value.
Depending on the type of priority you are assigning to the service, select Add to top or Add to last services to save the service to the selected priority list.
Select the arrows in the Move Up and Move Down columns to order the services in the Top Services and Services to be placed last lists.
In the Display CZ collections first field, select one of the following options:
- Yes – The online resources are sorted alphabetically in each level (top, unspecified, and last). In addition, Community Zone resources are alphabetized and listed first in each level.
- No – The online resources are sorted alphabetically in each level (top, unspecified, and last) only. Priority is not given to Community Zone resources.
You can also set this priority with the uresolver_display_cz_records_first parameter in the Customer Parameters mapping table. For more information, see Configuring Other Settings.
If you set Prefer source service to Yes, you improve the sorting relevance of online resources offered by the Alma Services Page for OpenURLs coming from Primo Central. This option places the highest priority on services that match the source of the OpenURL. For example, if a user searching Primo Central discovers an article from Gale and the Alma Link Resolver can offer services from Gale and EBSCO, Alma will place the service from Gale at the top of the results, followed by the remaining electronic services as defined in the sort settings for this page. This is the recommended option.
In the Prefer ID based Linking Services field, select one of the following options:
- Yes – If a collection with a preferred ID is defined, it always appears first regardless of other sort criteria. If more than one preferred collection is defined, the display preference for those collections is then based on the sort configuration as defined in the Online Services Order page. Currently, there are two vendors with a preferred ID, ProQuest and Gale.
- No – No priority is given to vendors with a preferred ID.

You can also set this priority with the uresolver_use_source_to_target_ordering parameter in the Customer Parameters mapping table. For more information, see Configuring Other Settings.

If a service was hidden using the display logic rules, it will not appear, regardless of the value selected for this option.

Configuring the Order of General Electronic Services

Configuring the Order of Locations in Primo Search Results

To configure the order of Primo search results, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

Alma determines the location display priority primarily by availability. Holdings with the greatest number of available items are displayed first (this cannot be configured). In addition, Alma enables you to give preference to locations that match the IP address of the patron’s IP address. These locations include the AVA $$P field. For more information, see the following topic: Discovery in Collaborative Networks

Based on one or more of the following criteria, holdings locations are displayed in order on the first page in Primo Get It:

According to the holdings’ locations and their proximity to the patron, according to the library IP address. The locations in the libraries closest to the patron appear at the top of the holdings list. If this criteria is used, it takes priority over the holdings' availability.
According to the holdings’ availability, in the order (by default):
1. In temporary locations
2. In permanent locations
3. In remote locations

You select this order on the Locations Ordering Profile page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Locations Ordering Profile).

Locations Ordering Profile Page

You can configure this ordering at the institution level only. Select the required institution from the Configuring filter on the Fulfillment Configuration page.

To configure a locations ordering profile:

In the Use Alphabetical Sorting Only field, select Yes to sort the holdings alphabetically by the external location name in Primo Get It. The order of the locations is passed to Primo in the AVA $$p subfield during RTA. The alphabetical sorting logic is hard-coded.

When this option is set to Yes, all other ordering options on this page are disabled.
In the Use "IP best location” sorting field, select Yes to configure the display of holdings by location. IP addresses must be defined for the libraries. No indicates that holdings are displayed by availability and that for the display of holdings locations, IP addresses do not need to be defined.

IP addresses can be configured:
- On the library level (see Managing IP Definitions for a Library)
- On the campus level (see Editing a Campus)
In the Prefer remote storage field, select Yes to increase the priority of remote storage items when viewing results in Primo Get It, publishing to Primo, or the Primo RTA.

Use Primo VE Metadata Fields for Delivery

For Primo VE customers only, you can configure the metadata fields that appear in Alma viewers with the same page that you use to configure the metadata fields for Primo VE. This allows you to display the same descriptive information in Alma viewers as you do in Primo VE. To enable this feature, select the Use Primo Metadata Fields for Delivery check box. For information on how to configure metadata for Primo VE, see Configuring the Details Service for Primo VE.

Descriptive Information in the Alma Viewer

When this check box is selected, the method used to configure metadata for Primo VE replaces the Alma method, and the following options are disabled:

The Delimiter for Grouping Repeated Delivery Metadata field on this page is disabled.
The Delivery Profiles Metadata page (Configuration > Fulfillment > Delivery Profiles Metadata) is hidden. For more information on this method, see Configuring Delivery Profiles Metadata.

Using Standard Identifiers

With the Find GetIt services based on standard identifiers only parameter (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Other Settings), the Primo/Primo VE Get It feature (that you select to request/discover local Alma physical holdings) uses the following strong standard identifiers:

ISSN
E-ISSN
ISBN
E-ISBN
LCCN
CODEN
OCLC Unique Number
Other System Number

Using strong identifiers generally provides better results.

By default, this option is not selected; and the original logic for matching on title or title + author is used. This weaker matching criteria may provide less desirable Get It results.

Note that when you select Get It from your Primo/Primo VE search results and the Find GetIt services based on standard identifiers only parameter is selected, holdings that were received from an OpenURL (in your Primo/Primo VE search results) are ignored when Alma processes the Get It request if those holdings do not include or match on any of the strong standard identifiers shown above.

Filtering the Library List for Availability in Primo

The Primo View Mapped into Alma Libraries page allows you to filter the list of libraries that initially appear in Primo Get It when presenting availability information about an inventory item. If libraries are configured, these libraries initially appear for the item; the patron can see all of the libraries after removing the filter. If no libraries are configured, all libraries appear by default.

This functionality is not applicable to Alma-Summon environments.

Mapping a Primo View to Libraries

To add libraries to the list of initial libraries in Get It:

Open the Primo View Mapped into Alma Libraries page (Primo: Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Primo View to Libraries; Primo VE: Configuration Menu > Discovery > GetIt Configuration > Primo View to Libraries).
Add a library to the list:
1. Select Add Row to open the dialog box.
2. Specify the following fields:
  - View – Specify the Primo view code.
  - Library Code – Specify an Alma library code. To find library names and codes, see Adding/Editing Institution Libraries.

Customizing Primo Request Forms

To configure the displayed fields on the Primo request forms, you must have one of the following roles:

General System Administrator
Fulfillment Administrator

This section applies only to Primo. For information on how to configure request forms for Primo VE and Alma-Summon environments, refer to the following sections:

You can hide non-mandatory fields on Primo request forms: hold request, booking request, and digitization request. All fields, except the General Use Label field, are visible by default.

For the digitization request form, you can customize the default value for the Partial field using the uresolver_partial_digitization_default_value parameter on the Other Settings page (see Configuring Other Settings) and then hide it using this feature. This is useful, for example, to restrict patron digitization requests to partial digitization requests.

The General Use Label field is hidden by default. This field is a general field for providing information to the patrons. To configure this text, see Configuring Service Labels in the Discovery Interface.

The Calculate Queue button is available on the Hold Request Form and the Booking Request Form to allow a Primo patron to view his or her request's place in the queue before submitting the request. The button is hidden by default but can be made visible by setting the Display to Public value to true for the calculateQueueButton.

The Item Availability option is available on the Resource Sharing Form. When the field is selected, a real time background check is performed when a patron opens a request form on the Primo Get It tab, or using the blank request form to determine whether any rota partner has a requestable copy of the resource. The check works with other alma partners or brokers and functions with the same rules as the regular locate process. An indication is displayed as to which partners have the item available. A warning is displayed to the patron if a copy appears to be unavailable. If one of the partners does not have a locate profile, an error message is displayed, Availability information can't be retrieved.
