    PNX Record Sections

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. Only the Display, Facets, and Search sections are configurable in Primo VE. For more details, see Mapping to the Display, Facets, and Search Sections in the Primo VE Record.

    The following table lists the sections in the PNX record.

    display
    Data displayed in the brief and full displays in the user interface (UI).

    search
    Metadata and full-text data that are indexed for searching purposes.
    sort
    Sort fields used as the basis for sorting the results set.
    Each of the above sections contains various fields. Multiple and repeatable fields of the source record can be concatenated to one field in the PNX record (such as the Display section) or stored in separate fields within the PNX record (such as the Search and Facets sections).
    In some cases, the system will take only one of the following fields:
    • All fields of the Control section.
    • All fields of the Sort section.
    • All fields of the Dedup and FRBR sections.
    • Delivery section – the Delivery category field.
    • All fields of the Ranking section.
