    Suppressing Alma Records from Primo VE

    Return to menu

    You can suppress Alma records from discovery in the following ways:

    • Suppress all records at a physical location – Select the Suppress from Discovery checkbox for a location. For more information, see Editing a Physical Location.

    • Suppress an individual record – In the MD Editor, select the Suppress from Discovery option for the holdings or bibliographic record. For more information, see Navigating the MD Editor Page. Note that suppression takes effect even without saving the record.

    • Suppress discovery of a record under the following conditions (see Configuring Other Settings):

      • When suppressBibWithDeletedHol is set to true in the Customer Parameters mapping table (Configuration Menu > Resources > General > Other Settings), the bib record is suppressed if an operator chooses to delete the last holdings record after deleting its last item. Note that bibliographic records that never had holdings are not suppressed from publishing by this parameter.

      • When suppressBibWithSuppressedHol is set to true in the Customer Parameters mapping table (Configuration Menu > Resources > General > Other Settings), the bib record is suppressed if an operator suppresses all of its holdings records. 

    • Exclude resources with specific process types. See Excluding Resources with Specific Process Types from Publishing.

    • Suppress a set of bibliographic records. See Manual Jobs.

    Suppressing a record in the NZ (Network Zone) does not automatically suppress a record that is linked to it in the IZ (Institution Zone). If you want local records to be suppressed from discovery, you must suppress them in the IZ.
