    Primo February 2017 Known Issues

    The following table lists the known issues for the new UI in the Primo February 2017 release.
    Category Issue
    Authentication - New SAML certificate mechanism
    When the AUTH_BASE_URL is configured, the system does not include the AUTH_BASE_URL in the metadata file. For information on how to update the metadata file manually, see Managing Certificates for SAML Authentication. This workaround will not be needed in the May 2017 release of Primo.
    New UI - Up front actions
    When using actions other than what is provided by default as the up front actions (e-shelf, E-mail, and Citation) in the new UI, the actions do not work. Until the fix is available in the May 2017 release of Primo, it is recommended that you use the default settings for the up front actions.
    Services page in the new UI
    When using a social login (such as Google or FaceBook) to sign in to the new UI, some sections did not appear on the Services page. This will be fixed in the in the March 2017 release of Alma.
    New UI fails to open when any of the tiles is not configured
    If any of the views tiles is not configured, the new UI will either not open or a specific tab will freeze. To resolve this issue:
    • Edit your view.
    • For each page on the Tile Configuration (Home Page, Full Display, and Brief Display) edit and save every tile.
    • Deploy the view.
    If the problem persists, please contact support.
