Created: January 7, 2021

How to Change the Number of Holdings Displayed in the GetIt Section of an Item Record

In the Get It section of a record's full display, Primo VE displays a maximum of 10 holdings. Although there are 27 holdings in this example, only 10 appear under the GetIt Locations section:
