How can we improve Alma?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. Hotlink URIs in Vendor Interface Details

    In the Vendor Interface Details screen there are several fields in both the Administration Information and Access Information tabs for URIs. However, URIs entered into these fields are static. It would be useful if they were hyperlinked to go directly to the admin site, for example, for manually downloading counter stats, or doing other admin account maintenance.

  2. Add a support category for vendor contact information.

    Add a technical support option category for contact information (email addresses and phone numbers) in vendor records. Often vendors have different contact information for orders/claims/returns versus support, and right now there is no way in Alma to label a phone number or email address as a technical support line. This leads to confusion on the part of the library's own support staff, and we often end up Googling any contact information listed in Alma. This is a straightforward and necessary enhancement.

  3. Allow the existing configuration of the user form to apply also on the "Vendors > Contact People tab > Add Contact" page

    This idea was opened by Ex Libris to see how the community supports it.

    There is an existing configuration for the user form which was added in August 2022: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2022/Alma_2022_Release_Notes#Configure_the_User_Form

    Please have this configuration apply also when creating a new vendor "Contact" (Vendors > Contact People tab > Add Contact).

    For example, if an institution selected that some fields should not appear in the user creation form, these field should also not appear in the vendor contact creation form.
