Recommended WRLC Primo Display Norm Rules

The following are various Primo VE display normalization rules that are used by some of the institutions in the WRLC. It is not a requirement to have these configured in a WRLC Institution Zone, but they can be helpful, depending on your institution's policies. 

For instructions on how to configure new display rules for Primo VE, see the following Wiki page:
