Added Usage OBI Analytics for the New Embedded Viewer

The embedded viewer's actions, such as: view, download and share in Primo NDE are now tracked by the OBI Analytics for digital content. This provides users with a better overview of resource interactions in the viewer.

Highlights

  • Continued OBI analytics and tracking of viewer usage

  • More relevant data collected for each resource

Removed 'Share' Option From Alma Viewer for Staff

Share options are now available only on the Primo NDE end-user facing viewer. The backend (Alma) viewer does not have the share option anymore.

Highlights

  • Share is available only for end-users

  • A sleek, better-looking UI

Configurable Embedded Viewer Default State

Users can now configure the default state of the Viewer on open - whether collapsed or open. The configuration can be changed under Configuration > Fulfillment > Discovery Interface Display Logic > Display Logic Rules.

When the feature is turned on, the embedded viewer is collapsed when opening a title and does not pre-load the content. Then, the Digital Content section can be manually opened, or opened by selecting a specific Representation from the Digital Versions section.

Highlights

  • Customizable Viewer behavior

  • Faster loading times for resources

Digital Loans Pages Link Out from Primo NDE

Titles with digital loans (short term and long term) will not be supported in the embedded viewer in Primo NDE. They will link out via the Digital Versions to support the full existing flows previously available. This feature allows users to continue using their loaned resources in the flows they are used to.

Highlights

  • Continued coverage for digital loans, independent of the viewer changes

  • Backwards compatibility with previous workflows
