Question
Why do records in Primo loaded through a Discovery Import Profile display an “InkingParameters” link?
Answer
The “InkingParameters” link indicates that Primo was unable to create a valid link to the record.
In most cases, the record URL is stored in the dc:identifier tag, but it is not correctly configured in the Linking Parameters section of the Discovery Import Profile.
To resolve the issue:
-
Go to Configuration Menu > Discovery > Loading External Data Sources > Discovery Import Profiles.
-
Edit the relevant Discovery Import Profile.
-
Open the Delivery tab.
-
Scroll to the Linking Parameters section.
-
Edit LinkingParameter1.
-
Set the matching string to ^(?:http(s)?:\/\/).* or configure the following:
-
Use source tag: Always
-
Normalization source tag: No normalization
-
Save the changes.
-
From the profile actions menu (three dots), select Reload.
Note: A tag refers to any element enclosed in angle brackets (<>) in the XML file.
