How to hide / change MARC fields as displayed in Primo (Primo VE Display Rules, and DEI - List of terms to exclude)

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Editing Primo VE Display Rules

  1. Go to Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Manage display and local fields
  2. Choose + Add Field > Add Display Field
  3. Under Field to edit, choose Subjects from the drop down menu. If you do not see Subjects in the drop down menu, it is because your IZ already has a localized display rule for the Subjects field. If that's the case,  go back to the previous screen and Edit the Subjects display field. 
  4. Under MARC21 Normalization Rules, click on the ellipsis button, then choose Edit.
  5. From here, make the necessary changes to the subject headings, then click Save.

Suggested display rules for WRLC Subject Headings can be found on the following page:

For more information on Normalization Rule Syntax, see the following Primo Knowledge Center page:

DEI - List of Terms to exclude from heading

  1. Go to Configuration > Discovery > Other > DEI - List of terms to exclude
  2. Enter list of terms you wish to exclude in the Content box, then press Save.

Filename : dei list of terms to exclude from subject heading. Content - nutrition.


Although much easier than editing display rules, it is not as precise simply because subjects containing only the word listed will not display, but subjects that contain the word as part of a phrase WILL continue to display. If you want to be thorough, you will have to list the problematic terms AND all possible variations and subfields.
