Primo VE 2023 Release Notes

Features

Support Customization of Resource Type Mapping (NERS #7790)

May 2023 URM-182813
This enhancement enables you to customize the mapping of system resource types in Primo VE. Previously, Primo VE allowed you to create local resource types only. Precedence is given to MARC field/subfield and DC tag mapping conditions in the following order:

Local resource types – Note that this is existing functionality.
Customized system resource types – With this new option, you can add mapping conditions to system resource types and also reassign mapping conditions from a system resource type to another system resource type. With the next release, you will be given an option to replace a resource type's conditions completely and to change the order of the mapping rules.
Out-of-the box system resource types – For mapping details, see Mapping to the Display, Facets, and Search Sections in the Primo VE Record.

For example, if you want to reassign some of the mapping conditions from the Books resource type to the Other resource type and the Special local resource type, you must perform the following:

Add the conditions that you want to map to the Other resource type.
Create the Special local resource type and include the conditions that you want to map to it.

As a result, Primo VE uses the mapping conditions shown in the Used Conditions column:

Type of Mapping	Resource Type	Mapping Conditions	Used Conditions
Local resource type mappings	Special	Add mapping condition Leader(06-07) = am: MARC field and subfield: LDR Regular expression: ^.(6)am.*	Leader(06-07) = am
Customized system mappings	Other	Add mapping condition Leader(06-07) = ac or ad: MARC field and subfield: LDR Regular expression: ^.(6)ac\|^.(6)ad.* Replace existing rules: not selected	Leader(06-07) = ac or ad Because the Replace existing rules option is not selected, this condition is added to the following out-of-the-box mapping conditions for the Other resource type: ((Leader(06-07) = ab OR as) AND 008(26) = d\|w) OR (Leader(06) = m AND 008(26) <> d\|e\|h\|j)
System (Out-of-the-box mappings)	Books	(Leader(06-07) = ac or ad or am) OR (Leader(06-07)= ai\|as AND 008(21)=m)	(Leader(06-07)= ai\|as AND 008(21)=m)

Type of Mapping

Resource Type

Mapping Conditions

Used Conditions

Local resource type mappings

Special

Add mapping condition Leader(06-07) = am:

MARC field and subfield: LDR
Regular expression: ^.(6)am.*

Leader(06-07) = am

Customized system mappings

Other

Add mapping condition Leader(06-07) = ac or ad:

MARC field and subfield: LDR
Regular expression: ^.(6)ac|^.(6)ad.*
Replace existing rules: not selected

Leader(06-07) = ac or ad

Because the Replace existing rules option is not selected, this condition is added to the following out-of-the-box mapping conditions for the Other resource type:

((Leader(06-07) = ab OR as) AND 008(26) = d|w) OR (Leader(06) = m AND 008(26) <> d|e|h|j)

System (Out-of-the-box mappings)

Books

(Leader(06-07) = ac or ad or am) OR (Leader(06-07)= ai|as AND 008(21)=m)

(Leader(06-07)= ai|as AND 008(21)=m)

Since databases and collections are calculated differently, their mappings cannot be customized.

To support this functionality, the following changes were made to the Local Resource Types page (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Local Resource Types):

The name of the Local Resource Types page has been changed to Resource types configuration (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Resource types configuration).

Resource Types Configuration Page
The name of the Add Local Resource Type option has changed to Add/Edit Resource Type Configuration.
The name of the Edit Local Resource Types page has changed to Resource types configuration and is used for both local and customized system resource types.
On the Resource types configuration page, the fields used to configure the local resource types have moved to the new Custom Local Resource Types tab. For more details, see Configuring Local Resource Types.

Custom Local Resource Types Tab

The System Resource Types tab has been added to the Resource types configuration page. It enables you to customize the mapping conditions of the out-of-the-box system resource types. For more details, see Customizing System Resource Types.

System Resource Types Tab
The maximum number of local resource types that you can configure has increased from 20 to 50.

Improving the User’s Session Timeout Experience (NERS #7809)

May 2023 URM-173864, URM-184008
The following options have added to the User Authentication page (Configuration > Discovery > Authentication > User Authentication) to enable users to extend their sessions in the UI:

Enable extending the session – When selected, users will receive the following warning prompt 60 seconds before timeout, and it will enable them to extend their sessions for another session.

Extend Session Prompt

If users select Yes, Keep Me Signed In, their sessions are extended without interruption.

If users select No, Sign Me Out, they are signed out, their screens are refreshed, and they are redirected to the configured URL for timeouts.

If users do not respond before timeout, they will receive the following popup message, indicating that their session has timed out:

Session Timed Out
Enable extending the session to maximum – When selected, users will receive a warning prompt 60 seconds before timeout (see messages above), and it will enable them to extend their sessions to the maximum period (which is 7 days and is not configurable). During this time period, users' session will continue until they either sign out or close the browser or the maximum session times out. If users do not want to continue their sessions, the following will occur at timeout: users are signed out, their screens are refreshed, and they are redirected to the configured URL for timeouts.
Enable user setting for extending the session – When selected, this parameter adds the Automatically extend my session option to the My Library Card > Personal Details and Settings tab, which enables users to automatically extend their sessions without being prompted to extend their sessions.

Automatically Extend My Session Option

After enabling/disabling the Automatically extend my session option, users must sign out and sign in again to apply the change.

If the session times out while the Automatically extend my session option is disabled, users will receive the following popup message and be prompted to either sign in or dismiss the message:

Personal Settings Reminder

Support Exact Phrase Only Searches in Advanced Searches (NERS #6693)

May 2023 URM-109134, URM-108053
Previously, the Is (Exact) Advanced Search option for Author, Title, and Subject field searches returned results that included the exact phrase, but it could also contain other words. For example, an author search for "Williams, John D." may return records with Williams, John D. or Williams, John, d. 1683 in the Author field.

With this enhancement, the name of the Is (Exact) Advanced Search option has been changed to Contains exact phrase. In addition, users can now specify the new Equals exact phrase Advanced Search option that returns results in which the data in the specified Author, Title, or Subject field contains only the exact phrase. For example, an author search for "Williams, John D." returns records that contain only Williams, John D. in the Author field.

Equals Exact Phrase Operator for Advanced Searches

The new search option also supports special characters. For example, an exact search for “Erpicum, Sébastien” also returns results with Erpicum, Sebastien, and vice versa. In addition, an exact Title search for “Pet” also returns records with the title The Pet.

Configuration Options

The following table lists the configuration options associated with this functionality.

Option	Description
View Configuration (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views)	On the Advanced Search tab, the following changes were made: At the bottom of the page, added section Search Operators, which lists all supported operators. From this section, you can now enable/disable operators and customize their display order on the Advanced Search page. For more details, see Configuring Discovery Views for Primo VE. Added the Equals exact phrase operator to the new Search Operators section. Out of the box, this operator is disabled by default for existing views and enabled by default for new views. Added the Use "Equals exact phrase" for hypertext linking (for Title, Author and Subject only) option for the new Equals exact phrase operator. When selected, the new search operator is used instead of the configuration in the Hypertext Linking Definitions mapping table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Hypertext Linking Definitions) for display fields using the Title, Author and Subject search index in the Details section of each record's full display. For more details, see Changing the Supported Search Profile Slots for Search Operators. The normalization rules were updated for all 6XX subject display fields (and 880-6XX fields) to support the better format of $Q (search query used when selecting a display field link) when using the new Equals exact phrase operator. These changes will become fully available with the completion of the Repository Semi-annual indexing expected to be run in July. For testing in your sandbox environment, you can manually save relevant records for automatic re-indexing.
Hypertext Linking Definitions mapping table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Hypertext Linking Definitions)	This table provides the institution-level settings for the hypertext linking definitions, which are used for the links in the Details section of each record's full display. To support the new search operator, the following changes have been made: The name of the exact operator has changed to contains exact phrase, and its functionality continues to work as it did previously. If both the Equals exact phrase and Contains exact phrase search operators are disabled in View Configuration, the default search operator contains exact phrase is used from this mapping table unless its definition has been customized. For more information, see Configuring Hypertext Link Definitions for Primo VE.
Search Tile Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The following codes were added to support the display functionality for this enhancement: search-advanced.precisionOperator.option.equalsPhrase – Equals exact phrase search-advanced.precisionOperator.option.equalsPhraseTitle – This search type is available only for Title, Author and Subject fields search-advanced.precisionOperator.option.startswithTitle – This search type is available only for Title field search-advanced.precisionOperator.option.equalsPhraseTooltip – This search type is available only for Title, Author and Subject fields The following code was modified to rename the is (exact) option: search-advanced.precisionOperator.option.exact – Contains exact phrase
Aria Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The following codes were added to support accessibility for this enhancement: nui.aria.search.contains – Contains nui.aria.search.containsExact – Contains exact phrase nui.aria.search.startswithAria – This search type is available only for Title field nui.aria.search.equalsPhraseAria – This search type is available only for Title, Author and Subject fields

Resource Type Filter Bar

May 2023 URM-162492
You can enable a new resource type filter ribbon that appears under the basic search box to allow users to filter their results by resource type. For each search profile slot, only enabled resources (maximum of 10) appear for basic searches, and their appearance is not dependent on whether the search results contain items matching that resource type. The first six resource types appear in the ribbon, while the remaining four items are selectable from the More drop-down list.

Resource Type Ribbon

Due to variances in queries and indexing, results from selecting Facet resource types may differ from selecting the same type with the new Resource Type Filter Bar.
This filter bar cannot be enabled when either the basic search pre-filter for resource types or indexes is enabled on the Advanced Search tab (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views).
For information regarding the customization of resource type icons, see Customizing SVG Icons.

Advanced Media Type Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	There is no change to this table, but it configures the display label for Primo VE resource types.

My Library Card - Filter Fines by Type

May 2023 URM-170250
The new Fine Type filter in My Library Card allows users to filter fines based on the following fine types: Active, All, Closed, In Dispute, and Transferred. The filter does not include all possible fine types, only those that are relevant to the user's current fines and fees. Previously, the Fines and Fees page displayed only the active fines and did not allow users to display fines and fees of other types.

Fines Filtered by All Types of Fines/Fees

The Fines Type filter takes the name of the selected fine type and defaults to Active Fines. If there are only active fines, the Fines Type filter does not appear.

Additional Enhancements

June 2023 URM-188998
Additional Configuration Options for Customizing Resource Types – Previously, you could add or override conditions for system resource types on the System Resource Types tab (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Resource types configuration). With this enhancement, you can specify whether the custom definition for a system resource type completely replaces the out-of-the-box configuration of the system resource type (not just specific conditions). For more details, see Customizing System Resource Types.

Replace all Conditions for System Resource Type

In addition, you can now drag and drop configuration definitions on the Resource Types Configuration page (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Resource types configuration) to give priority to definitions that have the same mapping conditions.

Prioritize Resource Type Definitions
June 2023 URM-189575
Ongoing Accessibility Improvements (June) – As part of our continuous effort to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 Level AA, we have fixed several issues regarding missing or incorrect alternative text for various elements in the UI.

May 2023 URM-186799 PRM-47317 SF: 06733268
Page Number Realignment in Journal and DB Search Results – For mobile devices, the page number for Journal and Database search results now displays next to the record count instead of below it.
May 2023 URM-178233 SF: 06396746, 06427160, 06458573, 06486037, 06577004
Filter by Availability for Newspaper Search – This enhancement enables you to configure whether Newspaper Search can return articles that are not available to the institution. To support this functionality, the Newspapers Search Filter By Availability field has been added to the General tab on the View Configuration page (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views). For more details, see Configuring Discovery Views for Primo VE.

May 2023 URM-188781
Support Translation of Navigation Links in Virtual Browse – The following codes have been added to the GetIT! Tab1 Labels code table to translate the mouse over labels for the Previous and Next icons in the Virtual Browse section of the record's full display:

Code	Description
brief.results.tabs.browseshelf.previous	Previous
brief.results.tabs.browseshelf.next	Next

The follow example shows the mouse over label for the Previous icon:

Mouse Over Label for Previous Icon

May 2023 URM-169203 SF: 06293589, 06360357, 06584375
Improve the Usability of Resource Recommender Administrative or Management Pages – The following enhancements have been added to Resource Recommender configuration to improve usability and performance:
- On the Resource Configuration page for each type of resource, pagination is now used to limit the number of recommendations to 20, 50, or 100 per page so that it is not necessary to load all recommendations before performing any action on the page (such as changing the language or searching for a specific recommendation).
  
  Pagination in Resource Recommender
  
  The paging functionality includes the following elements:
  1. Number of recommendations – Displays the numbers of the currently listed recommendations and the total number of recommendations.
  2. Pagination bar – This bar displays only when there are more than 20 recommendations, and it enables users to navigate between pages of recommendations.
  3. Results per page – This slider bar displays only when there are more than 20 recommendations, and it enables users to set whether a page displays a maximum of 20, 50, or 100 recommendations. This setting is saved between sessions for each recommendation type.
- Imports that include more than 500 recommendations will now run in the background. When complete, an email is sent to the user. In addition, you can check the progress of the new Resource Recommender Import job on Alma's Monitor Jobs page in the Running or History tabs (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Monitor Jobs).
May 2023 URM-100132
Retrieve Analytics Report – This enhancement allows you to use an API to return a Primo VE Analytics report in XML. For more details, see Analytics in the Ex Libris Developer Network.

April 2023 URM-187236
Support Series Search with ISSN – The normalization rules were updated to enable Series search by ISSN (using subfield x):
- 440 a,n,p,v,x
- 490 a,v,x
For existing records, a re-index is required to support the new mappings. Customers can either wait for the semi-annual indexing in August, re-save a set of records with this data to trigger indexing, or open a Support ticket to request re-indexing.
April 2023 PRM-46209
Change Behavior of Signed in Measurement for Analytics – Previously, the Signed In measurement in the Device Usage subject area in Analytics counted the number of times an action was taken from a signed-in user in a specific device type. With this enhancement, this measurement now counts the number of signed-in users from all sessions that were opened for a specific device type.

February 2023 URM-174757
Separate Form Description for Booking Requests – With this enhancement, you can now display different descriptions for the Requests and Booking Requests forms.

Separate Form Description for Booking Requests

The following code has been added to the Request Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels) to provide a separate description for booking requests:

Code	Description
almaBookingRequest.formDescription	Form Description

As with the other forms, you can include HTML formatting in the Description as long as you prefix the label with {include_HTML}. For more details, see Adding a Description to a Form.

February 2023 URM-168980
Align Local Website Resource Type with CDI – To align with CDI, local resources of type Web Site now appear as type Web Resource, which CDI uses to categorize this type of content. The following changes were made to the code tables to support this functionality:

Code Table	Description
Advanced Media Type Labels (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The code search-advanced.mediaType.option.web_resources (Web Resources) is now used instead of the code search-advanced.mediaType.option.websites (Websites).
Basic Search Pre-Filters Labels (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The code search-simple.mediaType.option.web_resources (Web Resources) is now used instead of the code search-simple.mediaType.option.websites (Web Sites).
Facet Resource Type Labels (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The code facets.facet.facet_rtype.web_resources (Web Resources) is now used instead of the code facets.facet.facet_rtype.website (Web Sites).
Icon Codes Labels (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels)	The code mediatype.web_resource (Web Resources) is now used instead of the code mediatype.website (Website).

For additional information regarding resource types, see Mapping to the Display, Facets, and Search Sections in the Primo VE Record.

February 2023 URM-145102
Increase Maximum Number of Conditions for Local Resource Types – This enhancement enables you to define a maximum of five conditions per local resource type instead of four conditions. For more details, see Configuring Local Resource Types for Primo VE.
February 2023 PRM-45656
Remove Google Bot Statistics from Analytics – Previously, if Google bots attempted to render Primo VE’s full record pages, these attempts were recorded in Primo VE Analytics. With this fix, we added a filter to the UI layer to filter beacon calls that are recognized as Google bots, preventing these actions from being recorded in Primo VE Analytics.
February 2023 URM-172802
Collection Discovery Optimization – With this enhancement, users can now view a Collection’s items sooner while its thumbnails are loading separately. This is similar to the experience currently seen in the brief results.
February 2023 URM-181601
UX Improvements - Reduce Slide-In Animation while scrolling the Brief Results - NERS #7700 – Previously, users experienced slight alignment issues while scrolling through items that had not fully loaded in the brief results. This has been fixed.

January 2023 (Added March 1, 2023) URM-168434
Deboost Records Retrieved with TOC Titles – The MARC field 505$t is now included in the title index to allow customers to deboost TOC titles from the records' main titles.

This functionality is immediately supported for new and modified records. For unchanged records, this functionality is not supported until the records are indexed after the next semi-annual indexing, which is planned for August. If you need this functionality sooner, either open a Support ticket for assistance or create a set of records that include the MARC field 505$t and then re-index that set with the Recalculate Local Resource Types job.

January 2023 (Added January 17, 2023) URM-157208
CNMARC Mapping Improvements – The following changes have been made to improve CNMARC mapping for display, facets, and search.

For existing records, a re-index is required to support the new mappings. Customers can either wait for the upcoming semi-annual indexing in February, re-save a set of records with this data to trigger indexing, or open a Support ticket to request re-indexing.

CDI-Related Updates

2023 Updates

In the CDI July 2023 release, we are including the following new resource types:

Questionnaire – A set of printed or written questions with a choice of answers, devised for the purposes of a survey or statistical study. It will be used for records from the Henrietta Szold collection.
Magazine – A popular interest periodical that usually contains articles on a variety of topics, which are written by various authors in a non-scholarly style.
Magazine article – A self-contained nonfiction prose composition on a fairly narrow topic or subject, which are written by one or more authors and published under a separate title in a magazine.

Prior to July 2023, magazines were returned by CDI as journals, and magazine articles were returned by CDI as articles. The new more granular resource types will be used instead from July 2023 onwards.

Codes for the new resource types will be added in the Primo and Primo VE July releases.

CDI-25516 SF: 05317773, 05434138, 06346738, 06498378, 06578315
When a record from a collection on the cdi-special-template-dbids list was merged with one or more records that were not on the cdi-special-template-dbids list, linking issues occurred. To resolve this issue, CDI now:
1. Prefers the source associated with the collection on cdi-special-template-dbids.
2. Returns the control/sourceid from special template DBID provider and from the same participant.
3. Returns the sys_external_docid as the control/sourcerecordid
4. Returns the sys_external_product_id as the control/addsrcrecordid.
This update takes precedence over the client provider preference.
CDI-25919 SF: 06537957
Backlinks for CDI records appeared in the Links section. This has been fixed by adding the $$Hfree_for_read parameter to all backlinks in CDI Open Access records to prevent Primo from applying a proxy prefix.
CDI-24658 SF: 006476151, 06519583, 06601029
Publication date for newspaper article records in Newspaper Search showed only the year and did not include the month and day. The PNX has been updated to return the Display/create date for newspaper articles in the YYYY-MM-DD date format.
CDI-23206 SF: 06344202
Book reviews appeared before the physical books in the search results. This has been fixed by boosting the ranking of the target book/eBook records.
CDI-26099 SF: 06649243

March 1, 2023

CDI-25248 CDI-25669 Sometimes metadata for an article from different sources had different dates. This leads to confusion when all dates are searchable but only one is displayed. Because this issue is usually caused by individual participants in a merged record, we have changed how the merged date is determined and used for article type records. We will now prefer the date provided by a majority of data sources and use this single date for facets, display, and rights calculation. In cases where a single date does not hold the majority, we will use the latest date.
CDI-24231 Some sources, specifically catalogs, sometimes provide incorrect language values for monographs. We have identified the majority of those sources and now exclude their language values from CDI so that they will not be used for facets and display. Further improvements are planned for the future.
CDI-24832 CDI-23421 SF: 05323780, 06434636 (Updated May 10, 2023)
Many users search for known items by copying and pasting entire citations from a webpage or a list into a Primo search box. While our search engines already support a majority of these searches, we still had cases where extra information in these searches confused the search engine and prevented items from being found. We now use an Open Source AI tool called Grobid to parse the search query so that our search engine can find and return the cited items in search results. Our test results show that this has solved all reported cases where these searches previously failed.

CDI-23358 SF: 05305916
Removed the black panther > leopard mapping in CDI's controlled vocabulary - search query expansion list.
CDI-426 SF: 05309434, 06319292, 06320336
The Topic Overview pane for Wikipedia records did not display the Source. This has been fixed.
CDI-23731 SF: 06544417, 05323856
The Topic Overview pane proxied open access records when the Do not proxy open access records setting was enabled. This has been fixed by adding an open access indicator to Topic Overview records to ensure that proxies can be disabled for open access records when this setting is enabled.

CDI-24203 SF: 05323983, 05332163, 05332458, 06205711, 06298619
The PNX mapping for resource types 'text resource' and 'report' was changed from genre 'book' to genre 'unknown' to ensure compatibility with the Alma link resolver.
CDI-21705 SF: 05324810
The Harvard Business Review (ISSN:0017-8012) was classified as a magazine in CDI, resulting in low relevancy rankings. It is now classified as Journal/Journal Article during the static rank score computation to improve its relevancy rankings; the record's display will not change.

October 5, 2022

CDI-24386 SF: 06396689, 06464126
Because article titles were missing from the Addata field in the PNX, GES services were having linking issues. This has been fixed.
CDI-22880 SF: 05305867, 06039704
In some cases, a related topic was presented instead of an exact match topic from Britannica. This has been fixed.

September 7, 2022

CDI-20976 SF: 05322339, 05322369 (Added November 4, 2022)
An issue with non-verbatim match penalty for English spelling variations has been fixed. The following document has been updated to clarify CDI's handling of synonyms and spelling variations: Search and Ranking in CDI.
For Journal resource types, addata/Jtitle is created from the record PublicationTitle field. If the record lacks a PublicationTitle, addata/Jtitle is created from the record Title field.
CDI-24259 SF: 05298841
CDI search results returned Subject facet values that contained only special characters (such as an asterisk or at sign). This has been fixed.

July 6, 2022

In some cases when CDI assigns Title based rights coverage, a URI based direct link was returned for a Link in Record collections that was not active for the institution. The linking logic was updated to prefer OpenURL in this scenario.
CDI-23694 SF: 06326253
The Is Part Of relationship for Book Chapters displayed an incorrect full date of YYYY-MM-DD instead of only full year of YYYY. This has been fixed.
CDI-24054 SF: 06250266
CDI was not retrieving the correct number of results in Advanced Search when an OR operator was used between search fields or inside a search field. This has been fixed.
CDI-23965 SF: 06366996
Removed the word סקס from the extension list of the Hebrew name זקס.

June 1, 2022

CDI-23711 CDI failed to populate the PNX addata/title section for 'text_resource' and 'report' resource types that lacked a Publication Title. This has been fixed by mapping the Title field to the addata/title section when ‘text_resource’ and ‘report’ type records do not have a Publication Title.
CDI-20344 SF: 05332919
Full Text availability was incorrectly assigned to the first document in each CDI instance due to an error in the document enumeration code. This has been fixed so that the documents are returned in the Full Text filter only for institutions that have activated the content.
CDI-23709 SF: 06321534
The terms Full Paper, Note, and Research were added to CDI's subject terms exclusion list. This change will take place at the completion of the first search update after the June release. A holistic revision of CDI Subject Headings is under consideration, but it is not planned at this time.

May 4, 2022

CDI-23255 SF: 06206239
Unless the client/user allows full text matching, matches in References and TableOfContents no longer return in search results when simple and advanced searches include any field. This change takes effect when the first search update of the CDI May release completes, which normally occurs two days after a release's deployment.
CDI-23464 SF: 05309104
Some contributor fields were not highlighted correctly in the full display. This has been fixed.

April 13, 2022

CDI-23604 SF: 06301387
In the top section of the full record, the Book Reviews link indicated an incorrect number of related reviews. This has been fixed so that the number in the link matches the actual number of reviews.
CDI-20716 SF: 05310194, 05333381
The journal title facet previously included publication titles for all resource types. This has been corrected so that the journal title facet values are limited to the following CDI resource types:
- Article
- Journal
- Newspaper
- Newspaper article
CDI-23223 SF: 05324574
The Alma Link Resolver matched with genre=document instead of with genre=transcript and returned a broken link. The CDI content type transcript was mapped to Text resource journal article instead of Text resource document to conform to the format expected by the Alma and SFX link resolvers.
CDI-22758 SF: 05321247, 05325545, 05325610, 05328033, 05333161, 06021204, 06207527, 06210234, 06231544, 06262995, 06276628
Primo Classic/VE - deep pagination caused CDI timeout. The limit for CDI's search results has been extended to 2,000 items to match the limits imposed by Primo and Primo VE local indexes. Support for deeper pagination is being investigated, but it is not planned at this time.

March 2, 2022

CDI-23175 SF: 05309042
In the list of synonyms for CDI, the term medical history was added as a synonym for the term health history.
CDI-20571 SF: 05301624, 05301659, 05308283, 05317174
The following terms were added to the compound words list:
- cross sectional
- cyber attack
- cyber attacks
- nano particles
- post traumatic
CDI-23357 SF: 06026832
When searching for the title Juridical Review, the results were auto-corrected to Judicial Review. This was fixed.
CDI-23347 SF: 06057153
Empty HTML tags in the record's metadata caused blended searches to return limited results. This was fixed.
CDI-22933 SF: 05308685
The following words were added to the Hebrew synonyms list for CDI:
- כשלונה=כישלונה
- הרהורים=הירהורים
- עפרון=עיפרון
- ספרייה=ספריה

February 2, 2022

CDI-20977 SF: 05331227
Subject facet values with double quotes returned no results. This was fixed.
CDI-21147 SF: 05306454, 05320735, 05320735 (Updated May 10, 2023)
CDI uses a fuzzy match mechanism (also known as OR QUERY mechanism) that targets long queries, accepting results where many terms show up in title field, although not all terms appear in results. This mechanism was not activated when the search included ISSNs or patterns that look like ISSNs. For example, in a search such as the following, the 1193-1199 looked like an ISSN and did not activate the fuzzy matching mechanism:
Added value of double inversion recovery magnetic resonance sequence in detection of cortical and white matter brain lesions in multiple sclerosis. The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 45(4), pp.1193-1199.
This has been fixed, and queries with ISSNs now also use the fuzzy matching mechanism.
CDI-22863 SF: 05309069
When performing a title search (via an advanced search), multiple title fields were searched in addition to the primary title (such as subtitle, alternative title, journal title, book title, and so forth). With this fix, a significant boost is given to the primary title over the other title fields.

2021 Updates

CDI-2030 (Updated May 8, 2023)
The DOI, ISBN (and other identifiers) were not highlighted in the full display for CDI records. This was fixed.

December 1, 2021

SF: 05327188, 05326630, 05320976, 05314635, 05302831, 05299989
The Spanish language facet failed to filter Spanish language records due to an incorrect language code mapping. This was fixed.
When exporting CDI records from Primo/VE to RIS or to a reference management system (such as EndNote), they appeared with type Generic. This has been fixed to map the correct type.

November 3, 2021

CDI support for the Exclude eBooks in CDI Results feature for Primo/VE.

October 21, 2021

The CDI Activation Analysis Tool can be used to check a specified CDI record in your results list to see which collection activation in Alma or SFX caused the record to appear in the results and to determine why its full text is flagged for availability or not. For additional information regarding the tool and its usage, see CDI Activation Analysis.
