How to remove "open access" and  "peer reviewed journals" facets from Primo and Primo VE

Resolution

If you don't want that in your Primo FE the "open access" and "peer reviewed journals" facets are displayed, you have to follow these steps:

1. If you use Primo BO (that's to say the classical Primo) 

 Go to Primo BO: 

  1. Open the Top Level Facet Labels code table
  2. For the each facet value that you want to disable, change the contents of the Description field to NOT_DEFINED.

In particular for the codes:

 

default.facets.facet.tlevel.open_access

default.facets.facet.tlevel.peer_reviewed

 

  1. Save and deploy the code and mapping tables;
  2. After the deploy the Open access and peer reviewed journals facets aren't displayed but if you move the mouse you can still see the checkbox;
  3. Download your new Ui package from the Primo Utilities - UI customization Package Manager

 

  1. Once you have unzipped the package, add to the custom1.css the following lines:

 

/* Hide facet Open access */

[data-facet-value="tlevel-open_access"] {

display:none !important;}

/* Hide facet Peer Reviewed */

[data-facet-value="tlevel-peer_reviewed"] {

display:none !important;}

 

  1. Save changes, recreate the .zip file of the UI package and upload it again on Primo BO and deploy the view

 

2) If you use Primo VE:

  1. You have to edit the Top Level Facet Labels code table (Configuration Menu > Discovery > Display Configuration > Label).
  2. For the each facet value that you want to disable, change the contents of the Description field to NOT_DEFINED.

In particular for the codes:

 

default.facets.facet.tlevel.open_access

default.facets.facet.tlevel.peer_reviewed

 

  1. Save the changes
  2. On the Views List page (Configuration Menu > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views
  3. Download the Ui package from Manage Customization package;
  4. Once you have unzipped the package, add to the custom1.css the following lines:

 

/* Hide facet Open access */

[data-facet-value="tlevel-open_access"] {

display:none !important;}

/* Hide facet Peer Reviewed */

[data-facet-value="tlevel-peer_reviewed"] {

display:none !important;}

 

  1. Save changes, recreate the .zip file of the UI package and upload it again
  2. Save the view
