    Primo PNX Records

    This area is not relevant to Primo VE environments since the source records are not normalized into PNX records for Primo VE.

    Using the Primo PNX subject area, you can create reports that help to answer the following types of business questions:
    • How many PNX records do I have from every data source, and how many records are added over time?
    • How many dedup and FRBR groups are there?

    PNX data is gathered on a weekly basis, which allows reports to display this information weekly, monthly, or yearly.

    The Primo PNX Records subject area contains many fields used to create reports associated with PNX records. Refer to the following sections for more information on each field.
