***I created this document to keep track of the problems I've reported in Basecamp as well as the problems other campus have reported (related to Primo).  Sharing in case others would like to add to this.****

SUNY Wide 

Empty $$T field impacting subject browse
Issue: For some subject browse results, we are not seeing as many results as we would expect.  This was replicated by Buffalo
 Status June 30:  Submitted a question to Basecamp.

Print item is not appearing in results 
Issue:  We have seen examples where the title is in Alma and the Networkzone, but not showing all Primo VE.  Reported to ExL.  They are looking into it.
Example record is Spheromaks : a practical application of magnetohydrodynamic dynamos and plasma self-organization
Basecamp thread

Creation date formatted incorrectly in some records
Example record is: D.H. Lawrence:  the critical hertitage

Contributor Display in Primo 
*reported by Nancy B.
Primo VE not displaying of all subfields for the 7XX fields

Primo display of print vs electronic availability for article content
*reported by Nancy B.  Also noticed at Binghamton. 
When searching for an article in Primo, if we hold a journal in both print and online with different date coverage, it looks as if the print holdings display as "available" even though the article/issue is out of the date range of our print holdings.

Local issues

SuDoc browse in current Primo
Issue:  not working as expected. Ex Lib was contacted that they said it has to do with how we publish (published) records in  Aleph.  In order for the records to show in the "Current Primo" we need to republish them by resetting some things in Primo and Aleph to get them in the current index. 

Rosetta Integration into Primo
Waiting to see how Rosetta will be integrated into Rosetta   

Special Collections / Reference materials shown as being loanable
Issue:  some items that are not loanable are showing as loanable in Primo VE. 
Status:  From DS:  "Loanable" we may need to see about changing that to "Available" - when you "login" you see circulation for that item based on your type.  Since you are not logged in it doesn't know your type so defaults to Loanable.
example:  The astonishing 12 inch people 
"c.uresolver.getit2.item_list.circulating | Loanable | When the item is loanable (according to policy), the Policy under the item list will be Loanable."

Mapping Material Types
May need to update:  audio cassette, sound recordings, media, microfilm
