Most labels in Primo VE that display on the Brief Results areas, Full Display page, different Services sections, and My Library Card pages are customizable by your institution. There are many common labels that other I-Share libraries have changed. Examples of those labels can be found on this page.
Ex Libris documentation page: Configuring Display Labels for Primo VE
Alma role needed: Discovery Admin
The default for Primo VE is that changing a label in the Alma labels table will change that label in ALL of your instance's Primo VE views. You can change a label for a specific Primo VE View.
To define a view-specific label:
Examples
01CARLI_MLS:CARLI_MLS.nui.facets.title (for a view-specific label of "Tweak your results")
01CARLI_DPU:CARLI_DPU_TEST.almaRequest.notNeedAfter (for a view-specific label of "Not needed after")
Label: Default is "Ex Libris Discovery" Code: main.title Table: Header/Footer Tiles Labels |
This is the NEW label for the browser tab. An update to Primo VE in November 2021 changed this label from the old code: nui.brief.title to the new code: main.title. Any changes made to the old label will no longer display in browser tabs and you must change the main.title label.
Label: Request in the Get It section Code: nui.request.request Table: Get it service labels |
Label: "Request" link for Local Hold Requests in the Get It section Code: AlmaRequest Table: Request options Labels |
Label: "I-Share" link for I-Share/AFN requests in the "Get It" section and the "How to get it" section Code: AlmaResourceSharing Table: Request options Labels |
Label: GET IT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS Code: nui.brief.results.tabs.getit_other Table: GetIT! Tab1 Labels |
Default: | CARLI Recommended Customization: | |
Label: Green "Available in institution" text beneath Other Institutions holdings in Get It From Other Institutions section Code: fulldisplay.otherMembers.availabilty.available_in_institution Table: Getit Tile Labels |
Label: No available services for this item. Code: brief.results.tabs.Get_it_from_other_locations_no_services Table: GetIT! Tab1 Labels |
Label:Not needed after Code:almaRequest.notNeedAfter Table:Request Labels Label:Pickup date |
You may also remove the Not Needed After/Pick Up Date section of the form completely. Information to remove the section can be found on the Remove the "Not Needed After" Section from the Local Request Form page.
Label: Tweak Your Results Code: nui.facets.title Table: Results Tile Labels |
Label: Expand My Results Code: expandresults Table: Results Tile Labels |
Label: Facets within the Tweak your results sidebar, including "Location" and "Institution" Example codes: facets.facet.facet_location_code (for "Location" facet) or facets.facet.facet_institution (for "Institution" facet) Table: Facet Labels |
Label: Not Available Code: delivery.code.unavailable Table: Calculated Availability Text Labels |
Since many labels have similar codes, you can use your web browser's developer tools to determine what the label code of any Primo VE label is. This makes it easier to find in the Alma Labels table and helps you know exactly what label you are changing
In this example, we are using the web browser to find the label for the "Sign in to get complete results and to request items" banner text.
