ShowPnx Extension/Plugin (Chrome / FireFox)
The PNX (Primo Normalized XML) record is the record data from Alma that has been piped and transformed for display in Primo. An easy way to view the PNX record is to add &showPnx=true to the end of the URL when looking at a full record view in Primo. Viewing the PNX can be useful in troubleshooting problems with record or field display. With this plugin you can view the PNX record with a click of the button.
To install the FireFox plugin: Go here: https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/resources/primo/code_contributions/pnxbookmarklet.txt and a JavaScript function will display. Press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on Mac) and click and drag the entire function onto your bookmarks toolbar. Right click the saved bookmark and select Properties and rename the bookmark as ShowPnx.
