For Alma-Summon environments, see Configuring Display Items.
Primo VE enables you to configure the information that appears in the following areas under the Get It section on the record's full display page.

Brief item display — This area opens instantly and can contain up to four display lines. Out of the box, Primo VE displays the item's status, terms of use, and the item's description on separate display lines if available for the item. You can configure up to four display lines. Each line can contain up to three fields, which are separated by your choice of delimiter.

Out of the box, Primo VE displays the additional call number, public notes, material type, location (which includes the library, location, and call number fields), and the barcode on separate display lines if available for the item. You can configure up to 12 display lines. Each line can contain up to three fields, which are separated by a space.
