Recommendations

Refer to Recommendations page for list of Primo VE configuration recommendations that provide directions and links to documentation on how to implement the recommendations.

Reasoning

The recommendations are for the purposes of test load harmonization. Further evaluation will be done during test load to provide other suggestions that do not necessarily need to be harmonized.

Background

Primo VE instances for all ten campuses during test load were delivered with out-of-the-box Primo VE defaults. Discovery FG evaluated the components of search scopes, basic and advanced search, facets, brief results display, and item full record display. The recommendations are intended to make the Primo VE user experience more intuitive and self-explanatory by adjusting the naming of certain facets and improving descriptions of contents, results, and services related to discovery and delivery.

Dependencies

Questions to consider

  • Are these recommendations ideal for harmonization to maximize positive user experience?
