Go VE

What is Go VE?

Go VE is a self-switch process to move from Primo to Primo VE, driven and managed by the institution. This process runs on Alma production environment which has the advantage of working on the Alma real and full data and configuration without impacting the Alma or Primo production.

It contains the following four steps:

  1. Enablement – An Automated process that provides the necessary components for an institution to start working with Primo VE. This process creates views and copy their customizations from Primo, copy the Primo translations to Primo VE and enable local and CDI searches.

    Once enablement is completed you will have a Primo VE view with your customizations, the ability to search in Primo VE local and CDI data, and you will have access to the discovery configuration menu to modify setups and add features.

  2. Authentication – sets the library authentication systems for Primo VE users.

  3. Configuration – enhances and adjusts Primo VE by using the extensive tools and features that Primo VE offers. This step is the main part of the project to configure Primo VE functionality: local fields, external data sources, adding scopes, and so forth.

  4. Go Live – switches Primo VE to production when you are ready. After switching to Primo VE, menus and code tables relevant to discovery are removed from Fulfillment configuration in Alma. The relevant code tables are then configurable on the All Code Tables page (Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Labels).
