Features
Patron Default Sort
February 2025 URM-227918
Previously, the default sort for advanced and simple searches was Relevance. With this enhancement, users' default sort is based on their last selected type. For signed-in users, this setting is retained between sessions.
This functionality does not apply to other types of Primo searches (such as Browse Search and Journal Search).
Support Genre Field in Multilingual Configuration for Bib Sources
February 2025
Previously, we separated the Genre values (MARC field 655; UNIMARC field 608) from the Subject and added a separate configuration for Genre from Authority sources only. With this enhancement, we now support Genre from Bib sources as well.
Changes to this configuration require you to recalculate the records.
For more details, see Multi-Lingual Configuration in Primo VE.
Linked Open Data - Additional Authority Types using VIAF
February 2025 URM-221503
Patrons will now get enhanced linkage between bibliographic records and Person entities for vocabularies other than the Library of Congress (LC), using auto-complete from the search box, Person Info Cards on the Full Display page, and Person pages. The following vocabularies are supported using Virtual International Authority File (VIAF): GND, BARE, NLI, LCNAMES, NTA, TWNAF, EMBNE, IDREF, CANTIC, FRBNF, FAST, CZENAS, and NUKAT. For additional information, see Searching Linked Open Data - Person Entity.
This functionality requires no configuration in Primo VE but requires re-indexing.
For related configuration information in Alma, see Linked Data Enrichment Configuration.
Research Assistant - Refined Search
February 2025 - Primo Research Assistant
Users can now refine their searches by resource type (Books, Journal articles, and Peer-reviewed) and date (Last 12 months, Last 5 years, Last 10 years, or a Custom date) by selecting the Refinement icon next to the Search Box to open the refinement options. The default settings are all types and dates.
The drop-down menu items are configurable with the Research Assistant Search Screen Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels). In addition, the display text for the following fields was updated, but your customizations will be retained: landing.research.question1, landing.research.question3, landing.skiplink, searchbox.placeholder.askresearchquestion, and searchbox.placeholder.askresearchquestionnext.
In addition, users can include these refinements automatically by adding a phrase that includes the resource type and date range after the question in the search box:
In the following example, the question is refined with the resource type (Journal article) and one of the pre-defined date ranges (Last 5 years). These refinements are automatically populated in the search box to use these refinements for follow-up questions:
Research Assistant - How to Cite Link
February 2025 - Primo Research Assistant (Updated January 21, 2025)
Customers can now add a link to a page to provide information regarding Research Assistant—for example, a How to Cite AI-generated Content link.
You can configure the link's display text and the link to the page containing the information in the Research Assistant Search Screen Labels code table (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels) with the following codes, respectively:
Code | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
action.customlink | How to cite AI-generated content | |
action.customlinkuri | NOT_DEFINED |
Requires a full URL to prevent a broken link. Example: https://www.google.fr |
Primo Research Assistant - Reposition Overview and Sources
February 2025 URM-232813
In the Response, the Source section has moved above the Overview section, enabling users to find materials quickly.
Relevance Sort for Authority Search
February 2025 URM-232927
Previously, results in Authority Search were sorted alphabetically in ascending order by term heading. With this enhancement, users can choose Relevance (new) or Title (sorted alphabetically by title).
To support this functionality, the Sort section was added to the Authority Search configuration on the Links Menu tab of the View Configuration page (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views). For more information, see Configuring Discovery Views for Primo VE.
Hide Configuration Links for Code and Mapping Tables in the Alma Configuration Menu at Network Zone Level
February 2025 - Collaborative Networks (Added January 22, 2025)URM-231809
Six months after the General Availability (GA) of the new Consortia Central Configuration Dashboard in Alma, all Code and Mapping table configurations have been removed from the 'old' Alma and Primo VE configuration menus of the Network Zone. While operating at the Network zone institution, Network Zone administrators now access those configurations directly through the Central Configuration Dashboard.
The removed configurations from the Alma and Primo VE (Discovery) configuration menus at Network Zone Level are only:
-
Code Tables
-
Mapping Tables
For more information on related configurations, see Sections and Configurations Options.
Additional Enhancements
-
April 2025 (Updated April 1, 2025) URM-227912

Email Security Vulnerability – Previously, the Email export action was vulnerable to phishing attacks. When the new customer parameter enable_email_client is set to true (Configuration > Discovery > Other > Discovery Customer Settings), Primo VE will use the device's default email client (such as Outlook, Gmail, and so forth). If there is no default email client, a blank window will open, and nothing will be executed.When enabled, the Export to Email action is limited to single records only, but records can still be exported in bulk with the Export to Excel action and the Export All option.
- April 2025 URM-241097
New Secondary Resource Type from CDI – Currently, this is unavailable and is designated for a future enhancement. The following changes were made to support different resource types based on their type (regular/warning) and appearance order from CDI:Code Table New Code/Description Facet Resource Type Labels facets.facet.facet_rtype.online_first / Online First Articles Results Tile Labels - attribute.online_first / Online First Article
- attribute.online_first_tooltip / An "Online first" article is a very recent publication that has been accepted by the publisher but is not yet assigned to a specific journal issue. It typically does not have volume, issue, or page numbers and is available only at the primary publisher website, not yet in aggregator databases.

2025 Updates
April 2, 2025
- Improved identification of book reviews for CDI records, previously classified as articles. This fix includes the following:
-
Additional criteria were added to identify book reviews based on information in the title or abstract field. Some examples of such criteria are:
-
CDI resource type is article, and the Title contains the phrase book review.
-
CDI resource type is article, and the Title contains an ISBN followed by at least one digit.
-
CDI resource type is article, and the abstract starts with the phrase Book reviewed in this article.
-
-
For merged records, the rule for selecting the resource type for logical records was changed for cases where participants from different providers had different resource types. Previously, the resource type found in most of the participants determined the resource type. This is no longer the case for book reviews by giving preference to the resource type instead of simply identifying it as an article.

The genre mapping for the score resource type was changed from unknown to document to prevent problems with OpenURL linking. - CDI-30075 SF: 05333261
Book editor data was incorrectly formatted in citations. Book editors are now listed in a dedicated field to ensure that editor names are correctly presented in citations. - New date formats (including MM and DD) are now supported with the cdate range filter.
- New logic was added to ensure that a single secondary resource type, either "retraction note" or "retracted publication," is selected when both types are present.
- CDI-28678 SF: 07155386
Internal CDI fields that Primo does not reference were removed from the PNX. - CDI-28472 SF: 06929716
