    The Views wizard allows you to define the following aspects:
    • A different look-and-feel for different user groups. Every view can have its own logo, header, header links, and more.
    • A different set of tabs and search scopes to be displayed for different user groups.
    Each institution can have its own fully customized views, and each view can have a different list of search scopes, as well as the default scope.
    On the Views List page (Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizards > Views Wizard), you can create a new view or modify an existing view.
    Views List Page
    The Views list is filtered by institution.
    As you edit or create a view, the wizard will guide you through the following steps:
    1. General View Attributes
    2. Search Scopes
    3. Tabs
    4. Tiles
    The last step of the Views wizard is to deploy the view.
    If you would like to deploy your settings later, click Deploy All on the Primo Back Office home page. For more information, see Deploy All Configuration Settings.

    General View Attributes

    The General View Attribute page allows you to define attributes that apply to the entire view. In addition, you can define parent and child views, which allow you to easily maintain a group of views that have areas in common. For more information, see View Inheritance.
    To access this page, create a new view or edit an existing view. After you have configured the settings, you can create scopes for the view. For more information, see Managing Scope Values.

    Create a View

    You can create a new view by copying an existing view and editing it to suit your needs.
    To create a view:
    1. In the Create a New View area on the View List page, select a view to duplicate in the Duplicate View From drop-down list.
      For installation-level staff users, select the installation name or a specific institution from the Owner drop-down list. The valid values are Installation (if using the default name) or a specific institution. For single-institution installations, your institution will be selected for you.
    2. Select a view to duplicate in the Duplicate View From drop-down list.
    3. In the Code field, enter the view's code. The code can be modified in the View codes table.
    4. Click Create.
      The new view appears in the Views List. You can now edit the view's details by using the instructions in Edit a View.

    Edit a View

    Editing a newly created view enables you to customize the duplicated view to suit your user group and institution's needs.
    Out-of-the-box views are read-only and cannot be edited. To edit a view, you must first create a view.
    To edit view details:
    1. On the Views List page, click Edit next to the view you want to update.
      The Edit View Attributes page opens.
      ViewAttributesPage.png
      Edit View Attributes Page
    2. In the General View Attributes area, edit the attributes for the view (see General View Attributes Details for a list of fields).
      General View Attributes Details
      Field name Description
      View Name1
      The name of the view.
      Code1
      The Primo view ID code.
      Copied From
      The original view from which this view was copied.
      CSS
      (Classic UI only) The name of the CSS used with the view. This can be Primo's default CSS, iPhone view CSS, or a customized CSS file that you upload. To customize your CSS file, refer to the Primo Technical Guide.
      Default Institution
      Indicates how the default institution is determined if the user is not signed in. The valid values are:
      • By IP – The system will use the institution that is assigned to the IP address from which the user has accessed Primo. If the user is not within an institution’s IP range, the system uses the default institution for the view.
      • By View – The system will use the default institution for the view.
        The default value is By View.
      In a local institution view, it makes sense to base the institution on the view. In a central view that is used by many institutions, it may be better to base the institution on the IP range.
      Default interface language
      The default interface language of the interface.
      Description
      A description of the view.
      Enable Citation Trail
      Enables the Citation and Cited By links in the results for Primo Central records. It allows users (such as researchers and graduate students) to display the lists of cited and cited by records for Primo Central records retrieved in the brief results and to follow the trails of each citation. By default, this functionality is enabled.
      The Results Tile code table allows you to modify the associated labels that display in the Front End.
      Enable My Library Card
      Whether this view enables My Library Card on the e-Shelf.
      Enable the “Personalize Your Results” service
      Enables the Personalize your results area on the results page in the Front End. This area allows users to specify personalized settings that are used to rank results from Primo Central.
      For more information, see Personalized Ranking for Primo Central.
      Inherits
      Whether this view inherits attributes from the parent view or not.
      A view that inherits from a parent view cannot be a parent to another view.
      Institution*
      The institution to which this view belongs.
      Invoke automatic search when tabs are switched
      Whether auto-search is enabled when users switch between tabs on a view.
      This field is checked/enabled by default.
      Is Template
      Whether this view is a parent view or a child view. Select Yes to make this a parent view. The default value is No.
      By default, any view that is created from a template becomes a child view.
      Layout Set
      (Classic UI only) The Layout Set used with the view. The following options are available:
      • Standard – opens facets on the right side.
      • Facets on the Left – opens facets on the left side.
      • Customized layout – allows you to create customized view layouts. Select the Edit button that appears for this option to modify the layouts. For more information on customization, see Custom Layout Editor.
      Mobile CSS
      (Classic UI only) The name of the CSS file that automatically adjusts the display for devices that have smaller screens, such as smartphones. The default value is Mobile CSS, which enables the mobile view functionality.

      2. Enter the following commands to access the static_htmls directory:
        fe_web
        cd static_htmls
      3. Place the file in the static_htmls directory.
      Side bar (Tweak my results) position (New UI only) The position of the Tweak My Results section in the Front End:
      • On the right – Positions the Tweak My Results section on the right side.
      • On the left – Positions the Tweak My Results section on the left side.
      1This is a mandatory field.
    3. Click Save & Continue to save your changes and display the Search Scope List page.
    4. Once you have created or edited your view's header attributes, you can configure the search scopes using instructions in Search Scopes.

    Search Scopes

    You can define and customize the different search scopes for every view on the Search Scope List page. To do this, first define the scope values with the Pipes Configuration wizard. In this section, you can define which of the scope values should be used by the search scopes created for each view.
    Search Scope List Page
    You can add a remote search scope to the system by defining MetaLib QuickSets. These QuickSets are lists of databases configured for specific user groups. The Quicksets must be defined in MetaLib. Refer to the Primo Interoperability Guide for more information on setting up MetaLib.

    Add a Search Scope

    You add an additional search scope to a view in your Primo system. After adding a view, you can edit it to further customize your search scope with more advanced information.
    To add a search scope:
    1. In the Add Search Scope section, enter the search scope name in the Search Scope Name field (see Search Scope List Page).
    2. In the Description field, enter a description of the search scope.
    3. Click Add.
      The new search scope appears in the Search Scope List. You can now edit the search scope details using the instructions in Edit a Search Scope.

    Edit a Search Scope

    Editing the search scope enables you to add and remove search scope values created for the local repository and add a single remote quickset for remote searches.
    A quickset is a group of remote databases that is defined in MetaLib. Refer to the Primo Interoperability Guide for more information on setting up quicksets in MetaLib.
    Generally, a single search scope includes either local search scope values or a quickset, but it is also possible to combine both local and remote scopes in a single scope. The remote search scope values are added to the PNX records during the normalization process.
    To edit search scope details:
    1. On the Search Scopes List page, click Edit next to the search scope that you want to update.
      The Edit Search Scope page opens (see Edit Search Scope Page).
      Edit Search Scope Page
    2. Update the fields shown in the following table to configure the search scope:
      General Search Scope Attributes Details
      Field name Description
      Scope Name
      The name of the view's search scope.
      Search Scope Description
      A description of the search scope.
      Display Text
      The name of the search scope as it is displayed in the Front End.
    3. In the Search Scope Values area, add or remove the search scope values from the local repository. If no search scopes or quicksets are selected, the scope includes the entire local repository. If a quickset is selected, the scope does not include any search scopes in the local repository.
      The values displayed in the Search Scope Values list are defined in the instructions for the Managing Scope Values.
    4. In the Remote Quick Sets area, choose a remote MetaLib QuickSet for your search scope by checking the desired quickset. If this section is left blank, there are no remote quicksets for the search scope.
      If no scope values or remote quicksets are selected, there are no local or remote search scopes defined and the entire local index is searched.
    5. In the Third Node Adaptors area, check a plug-in if you want to replace or enhance the standard Primo search engine. Otherwise, click the No third node adaptor check box to use the standard Primo search engine. For more information on the EBSCO adaptor, see Configuring the EBSCO Plug-In.
      If your institution has registered for the Primo Central service, you can select the following options to search Primo Central collections:
      • Primo Central – Select this check box to allow users to search Primo Central collections from this view and search scope.
        When selected, the Include Results with no full-text check box becomes enabled.
      • Include Results with no full-text – By default, Primo displays only the PC records that contain full text, but users may select the Expand My Results option in the Front End to display other PC records as well. If you want to display all PC records by default, select this check box.
        When selected, the Expand My Results option will not display in the Front End, but users may click the Full Text Online facet to display only the records that contain full text.
      For more information on Primo Central, refer to the Primo Central Configuration Guide.
      To edit another search scope, select the search scope in the Search Scope drop-down list.
    6. Click To Scopes List to continue to the Search Scopes List page.
      To manage search scopes for another view, select the view in the view drop-down list.
    7. On the Search Scopes List page, click Save & Continue.
      The Tabs Configuration page opens.
      Tabs Configuration Page
      You can now create and edit the tab details using the instructions in Tabs.

    Tabs

    You can define one or more tabs for each view. Tabs allow you to divide the data search within each view into different sections, matching the different search scopes that are defined for the view. A view can include a single search scope or several search scopes that appear in the Front End in a search box drop-down list.
    In this section you can create tabs, edit the display name appearing on the tab, and select the search scopes that are to appear in the drop-down list in the Front End search box.
    Using tabs in Primo is similar to using links in Google to locate resources of different types such as images and maps.
    Because a primary advantage of Primo is to provide a unified search interface for all library resources, Primo is initially configured with a single tab. You are encouraged to carefully consider whether to implement a multi-tab configuration after your switch to production.

    Create a Tab

    The default tab can be used if the site has only one tab. Otherwise, new tabs should be created.

    Brief Results Attributes Details
    Field Description
    Functionality to include:

    Interface Language
    The interface language of the tile.
    Opening Text
    The text displayed at the top of the tile.
    Ending Text
    The text displayed at the bottom of the tile.
    Define link from title:
    Link to online resource
    Specify this option to allow users to display the online resource by clicking the title in the Brief Record display.
    If a GetIt! 1 link is not configured to link directly to the online resource, the title cannot be clicked. By default, the online resources are configured, based on availability, to allow direct linking. To update these settings, refer to GetIt! Links.
    Link to full record display
    Specify this option to allow users to display the full record by clicking the title in the results. Select one of the following tabs to display it initially:
    • GetIt Link 1
    • Details
    • Locations
    • Reviews & Tags
    The default is the Details tab.
    Define FRBR (Primo Local) display:
    Preferred Record
    This option displays the preferred record (based on ranking) for the FRBR group. This is the default display type.
    Generic Record
    This option displays a generic record for the FRBR group.
    The generic record serves as a placeholder for the group and does not include the data and functionality that is relevant to a specific record (such as the availability status, tabs, and save to e-shelf). It only indicates that multiple versions of the title have been found. End users can click either the title or the View versions link to display the versions for the FRBR group. In addition, generic records display two rows in the brief results:
    • The first row displays what is configured to display in the first line of the brief results.
    • The second row displays the display/creator and display/contributor PNX fields.
    Order of Tabs:
     
    This section allows you to specify the order of the tabs in the Brief Record display. Click the arrows next to each of the following tabs to move the tab up or down in the list:
    • GetIt! Link 1
    • Locations
    • Details
    • Reviews and Tags
    • Recommendations
    • GetIt! Link 2
    If GetIt! Link 1 is a link to an online resource, it will always display in the first tab, regardless of these settings.

    To add a new sort field, specify a sort field in the Field drop-down list and then click Create.
    The date2 field is a virtual field that allows you sort by date in ascending order. For more information on the sort fields, see the Sort Fields Config mapping table.
    Snippet Display Options
    Primo allows you to display snippets in search results retrieved from PC Index and remote and local Primo collections. If the following criteria are met, the system displays the snippet for an item:

    • abstract field in the PNX record
    • fulltext field in the PNX extensions (for local and remote collections only)
    • toc field in the PNX extensions (for local and remote collections only)
    • The search term is not found in the above fields and the Show snippet if query terms are not found in fields field has been selected.

    For more information, see Snippet Display Preferences.
