    Displaying the Maximum Renewal Date in Primo

    Translatable

    If you are working with Primo VE, see Primo VE for more details.

    Return to menu

    The max_renew_date field (which is enabled on the My Account > Loans Details page out of the box) is defined in the Loans Detailed Display mapping table under the OPAC via Primo subsystem in the Primo Back Office. Because the List of Loans pages display a limited number of columns in the classic UI, many fields including this one will not display. To display the max_renew_date field, it must replace one of the other fields.

    This configuration is not necessary in the new UI since the display of the fields is not limited by the number of display columns on the List of Loans pages.
    In the following example, we will replace the Potential Fine column with the Max Renewal Date column.
    To display the max_renew_date field on the Active List of Loans page:
    1. Edit the Loans List Configuration mapping table (Primo Home > Advanced Configuration > All Mapping Tables).

    2. Customize the following row to replace the Potential Fine column:

    4. Save and deploy your changes.

    5. Edit the Loans List Labels code table (Primo Home > Advanced Configuration > All Code Tables).

    6. Customize the following row to replace the Potential Fine column:

      In addition, you can change the label for this field on the Details of Loan page by modifying the description for the following code:
