A recent Primo VE update enhanced advanced search visibility by automatically collapsing the search box after a search. There are no configurable options in Alma to control the advanced search collapse/expand functionality, but CSS can be used to force the advanced search form to alway expand.
Add the following code to the css/custom1.css file in your view customization package. Upload the modified customization package to Alma, and reload the advanced search in a browser.
#advancedSearchTabs{
min-height: 700px;
overflow: auto;
}
@media (min-width: 600px) {
#advancedSearchTabs {
min-height: 400px;
}
}
.string-block .animate-scale .middle {
display: none
}
.collapsed-area .layout-wrap .layout-align-space-between-center .layout-row {
display: none;
}
prm-advanced-search * > button.collapsed-button * > md-icon {
display: none;
}
