Answer

To create links that perform advanced searches within Primo VE, use the mapping table Hypertext Linking Definitions. See this article.

To create a link that leads to an external URL do the following:

The clickable link is stored as an HTML element.

"<a href={{URL Address}} target=_blank> {{Target Display Name}} </a>"

Add a clickable link in Primo VE using Normalization Rules.

Go to Configuration Menu > Discovery > Display Configuration > Manage display and local fields
Add or Edit a display field
Edit the MARC21 normalization rule for display.

In this example, the hypertext link is created from the information stored in the MARC 505 field and displayed in the contents display field:

rule "Primo VE – Contents 505"

when

MARC."505" has any "u, y"

then

set TEMP"1" to MARC."505" subfields "u"

set TEMP"2" to MARC."505" subfields "y"

add suffix (TEMP"2","</a>")

add prefix (TEMP"1","<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"")

add suffix (TEMP"1","\">")

concatenate with delimiter (TEMP"1",TEMP"2","")

set pnx."display"."contents" to TEMP"1"

end
