This features requires you to apply database categories, which can contain up to three category levels, to the bibliographic records of your local databases.

To assign categories to your local database records:

Ex Libris 8 0 – A Library Database Management System

  1. In Alma, choose a local bibliographic field (for example, select any 6XX or 9XX field for MARC21) in which to store the database categories in your local bibliographic records, and then enter that field in the db_categories_field parameter on the Alma Customer Parameters page (Configuration Menu > Resources > General > Other Settings).

    Administrators will need one of the following roles to update the above parameter:

    • Catalog Administrator

    • Repository Administrator

    • General System Administrator

  2. For each local database, use the Metadata Editor (Resources > Cataloging > Open Metadata Editor) to add the chosen MARC field with the following subfields to assign up to three category levels: $$a (level 1), $$b (level 2), and $$c (level 3). For example:

    699 ##$aEducation $bMedical $cFitness

    699 ##$aEducation $bHealth

    As shown in the example above, a database can belong to more than one category/subcategory.

  3. Wait for the Creates DB Categories File job (Admin > Monitor Jobs > Scheduled tab) under the Discovery filter to update the record's categories for discovery in Primo. This job is scheduled to run daily.

  4. Edit your normalization rules set in Primo, update the new facets/dbcategory rule to map the category information from the source records to Primo, and then deploy your changes to the Front End (Primo Home > Advanced Configuration > Full Normalization Rule Configuration). Note that you must include the subfield delimiter (U+2500).
    For example:

    Update Facets/dbcategory Normalization Rule from Alma MARC Template
  5. In the Institution Wizard (Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizard > Institution Wizard), enter the same value that you used for the API base URL in the new DB Category field under the Delivery Base URLs section.

    You can clear this field if you want to disable categories in the view.

  6. Run a regular pipe and then re-index to see the database categories on the Database Search page in the new Primo UI.
