Recommendation
We recommend that campuses make the 930 field searchable in Primo to facilitate the finding and aggregation of CDL collections.
Campuses that have historically used the 973 field for local collections information should also consider making that field searchable, if helpful for staff. These campuses may consider mapping the 973 field with the 930 field, if that meets the needs of their staff. If campuses choose to make the 973 field a separate searchable field, the display label should indicate “Local Package Name.”
Campuses can choose to include the 930 field search in their Advanced search, if desired. In this case, we recommend campuses choose the display label “Package Name” in order to avoid user confusion.

In discussions with RMFG and AEFG groups, Discovery has learned that this use of the 930 field may be more limited and less robust in Primo VE than it was in traditional LMS systems previously used by campuses. Due to the structure of Alma/Primo, using the 930 field for this work probably yields non-comprehensive results. Activation of Dedup may also reduce effectiveness of using the 930 field for this work.
Regardless of its limitationsWithe these limitations in mind, searchability of the 930 field is still valuable for library staff and should be facilitated as an interim solution to facilitate this staff work.

Note that above sample norm rule only indexes the 930 subfield a. This may need to be altered once CDL/SCP documents the subfields it will be using in the 930. Once you have finished creating your normalization rules click Save (in the upper right corner of the Define a Local Field form) to complete the local field configuration.
To add a new local index to you your local PrimoVE interface go to Configuration>Discovery>Display Configuration>Configure Views and select the Advanced Search Configuration tab. In the List of Indexes area click on Add Index:
...
This will open the a form. Select you your new index from the top drop-down menu (you should see your new display label, in this case “Package Name”) and choose which search slots the index should be applied.
...
Once you have completed your configuration you will need to open a Salesforce ticket with ExLibris to re-index (this required for all new 9xx indexes). The We recommend the re-index should probably be run prior to adding the new index to the discovery layer.
