Deep Links – New UI
For deep links in the new Primo UI (which is also used for Primo VE), we no longer use the syntax that was used for the classic UI. Instead, we simply use the URL that appears for a specific page in the browser. The easiest way to create a deep link in the new UI, is to perform the action that you want to use as the basis for the deep link (such as basic or advanced search) and then copy the URL that appears for that action in the browser. You can then adjust the URL as needed.
Examples
Primo:
| Action | URL |
|---|---|
| Basic Search | https://<hostname>/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,history&tab=<tab_code>&search_scope=<scope_name>&vid=<view_code> |
| Full Display | https://<hostname>/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=<doc_id>&context=L&vid=<view_code>&search_scope=<scope_name>&tab=<tab_code>&lang=en_US |
| Advanced Search | https://<hostname>/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,history,AND&query=creator,contains,David,AND&tab=<tab_code>&search_scope=<scope_name>&sortby=rank&vid=<view_code>&lang=en_US&mode=advanced |
| My Library Card | https://<hostname>/primo-explore/account?vid=<view_code> |
| Login | https://<hostname>/primo-explore/login?vid=<view_code> |
Primo VE:
| Action | URL |
|---|---|
| Basic Search | https://<hostname>/discovery/search?query=any,contains,life&tab=<slot_code>&search_scope=<search_profile_code>&vid=<institution_code:view_code> |
| Full Display | https://<hostname>/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=<doc_id>&context=L&vid=<institution_code:view_code>&lang=en&search_scope=<search_profile_code>&tab=<search_slot_code> |

| Search with wildcard with conditions | You can perform a broad search with a wildcard with one or more conditions, for example: https://<hostname>/discovery/search?query=any,contains,”*”&tab=<slot_code>&search_scope=<search_profile_code>&vid=<institution_code:view_code>&facet=rtype,include,books Note:
