Central Package Review

As campuses migrate to Primo VE, central package styles and features that worked in Primo and may work in Primo VE. A review of the central package customization should be conducted to ensure that Primo VE functions correctly.

Norm Rules Support Structure 

With the change to Primo VE, normalization rules are no longer available. The new functionality will be controlled by drools in Alma. Campuses may need help writing rules or using network-related rules at their institutions. Develop and communicate a new rules request workflow in conjunction with the norm rules task force. 

Training Sessions and Online Documentation

Continue to provide ongoing training and support for discovery users via Open Forum session throughout the year. Update wiki documentation to be inline with new standards and best practices.

UI/UX Evaluation

Gabriel Gardner and Heather Cribbs are working on a comparison between Primo and Primo VE UI/UX metrics. Preliminary findings will be discussed and presented throughout the year.

Relevancy Ranking

Examine relevance ranking in Primo VE and develop best practices or recommendations for improving result ranking.

Managing Primo VE Updates

Communicate relevant updates to the larger discovery community when applicable. 

Slack vs. Teams

Examine the possibility of using Teams (or some other tool) to store communication and files for discovery related information. Currently Slack does not save conversations or files past a few months.
