Description

Some databases and electronic collections are missing from Database Search results in Primo VE.

Resolution

Two conditions must be met for a databases or electronic collection to appear in Primo VE Database Search results.  

• Condition 1: The database or collection must be associated with a descriptive (bibliographic) record that is not suppressed. 
• Condition 2: There must be a collection-level URL configured for linking to the database or collection.

1. Do an Electronic Collection repository search for the database or collection:
   
2. Right click, select Edit Collection, and look for an MMS ID in the upper left corner of the page  
   • If an MMS ID is present, the collection is associated with a descriptive (bibliographic record)
   • If the existing bib record is suppressed, use the MD Editor to unsuppress the record
     
   • If an MMS ID is not present, go to the Additional tab and add a bib record to the Additional descriptive information field
3. Go ot the Additional tab of the Electronic Collection Editor, and confirm that a valid collection-level URL is in the Level URL field.  If needed, add a valid URL to the Level URL (override) field
4. Click Save when done

Note:  If the modified collections do not appear in Primo VE's Database Search after 24 hours, indexing may be required.  Please open a case in the Support Portal and include a link to this article in the case.
