    Question

    I modified a local or display field in Alma, but I cannot see the changes in Primo. Why?

    Answer

    If you created or modified a normalization rule for a local or display field in Alma, you must select Apply Rules on the Manage Display and Local Fields page to update the records. 

    After applying the rules, the changes should be visible in Primo. If they do not appear immediately, refresh the Primo page.
