To add, remove, or change the order of electronic resources, please submit a ticket to the LTS Alma Support Center.

Overview

With the Online Services Order page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Online Services Order), you can configure the order of the services that appear in the services results list in Primo View It. By default, all services are displayed alphabetically on the services result list. If a service is added to the top or bottom group on this page, that group is displayed on the services results list in the order that you specify, with the remainder of entries retaining their default sort order. The Display CZ Collections first, Prefer source service, and Prefer ID based Linking services radio buttons also override both the default alphabetic sort order as well as the list of services listed in the Top services section. The top service defined can be used by Primo’s direct linking option, from the search result record.

See the Ex Libris documentation for additional details.

Note:

Electronic collections sort by Public Name (Override), if present. If an electronic collection has been added to one of the tables below, subsequently adding or editing the Public Name (Override) field will break the configuration for that resource. The electronic collection will need to be re-added to the appropriate table using the new Public Name, and the line using the old Public Name should be removed. In addition, using the same Public Name (Override) for multiple electronic collections is not advised, as it may cause the configuration to fail.


Harvard's current configuration is below:

Additional preferences

The values for Prefer source service and Prefer ID based Linking services were switched to No in February 2022 to correct problems with some CDI records.
