Organize/Sort ALMA UI menus and sub-menus in alphabetic order
Organize/Sort ALMA UI menus and sub-menus in alphabetic order. Sorting the new UI in a more intuitive manner would make navigating back and forth through modules and functions more time efficient.

Mantener sesión abierta
Buenos días,
¿Existe alguna de configurar Alma par que mantenga la sesión abierta y que no tengas que loguear de nuevo?
Si no existe esa posibilidad ¿la pueden implementar o se encuentra en proceso?

Bulk adding of instructors to Leganto Reading Lists via Alma back-office
Library staff currently have to input Reading List owners on a one-by-one basis.
It would be good if Library staff could add Reading List owners to Leganto reading lists in bulk.

Add Description to Standard Openings Hours in Calendar Management
During implementation standard opening hours were entered with the days of the week in the description column. When users edit or add standard opening hours, the description column is not available. It would help if we could enter the day in the description column.

Remain on the same page when Current Location is changed
At the moment, when 'Current Location' is changed, this action results in the user being taken to the home page afterwards. This is inconvenient, especially when working in a patron record, as it means several steps to get back to the screen where you were before. It would be much better if the interface remained on the same screen after a location change.

Enable Alma to communicate IP changes to vendors
When the university adds or removes an IP range, the library has to contact many e-resource vendors, often one by on,e to ensure that access via IP remains accurate. Add a functionality in Alma to allow libraries to contact all vendors at once with updated IP information, so we don't have to use a separate service like RedLink or IP Registry.

Run a Job-display task parameters in step 2
After selecting a job to run at the Run a Job page, the next screen should be the job's task parameters instead of the prompt to choose a set. This change would move the set selection to step 3. This is useful when you don't remember what particular function the job performs. If you see the task parameters at step two, you can verify what the job will do and you can back out if you've made the wrong job selection. Sometimes I need a refresher on what a particular job will do before I've even created my set and…

Alma display no longer dims when busy
Eliminate the dimming of the display when Alma is busy and just use the rotating wheel icon by itself. I have vision problems AND a seizure disorder and the constant dimming and un-dimming of the screen as I work makes it very hard to focus, causes headaches and other problems.

Ability to collect and analyze data on number of and frequency of letters sent from Alma
It would be awesome if there were an option in Analytics to collect and analyze data on the number of and frequency of emails sent from Alma. This will be especially helpful for those institutions that are editing letters and would like to start with the most frequent, patron-facing letters first.

Please fix these concerning mistranslations
Dear support
While creating the non-english versions of the powerpoint presentations for SLSP training, I ran into some concerning mistranslations. It almost looks like you used Google Translations to translate the English Terms in Alma to other languages.
For example, the English homonym "pass" was erroneously translated to "succeed" instead of "go by". This happened while translating to Italian and German (see attachement). I can only imagine how annoying that will be for librarians all over Switzerland when we go live with Alma this coming December.
I can imagine it's a known issue to the libraries you have been using…

Advanced Search in new interface lacks functionality
The new Alma interface's Advanced Search feature appears to lack fundamental functionality. I am not the systems person and, therefore, perhaps this can be done and I am not aware of how to do this. However, it seems one must now click on the Advanced Search every time one needs the Advanced Search (which is often). The old interface allowed one to choose Advanced Search and then it would remain on the screen so that one could use the same chosen Advanced Search option continually, adding and subtracting additional fields as needed. Also, the tiny icon for Advanced Search is…

RSS of knowledge center articles should include changelog
Hi
We can watch pages like
https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/050Administration/030User_Management/060Managing_User_Roles via RSS feed.When something on the page is changed, I get a notification, which I am glad for.
However, there is no way of seeing what has changed.
(Sometime there's a note 'New for March', but not always).
Please add a changelog / version history / diff function to your documentation pages. This could be a separate page, so the main page doesn't get cluttered.
Thank you.

In Advanced search make a change on condition 'country of origin' "equals" and then a drop down list with countries
If you add the condition 'language' while making an Advanced Search you get "equals' and a dropdown list with languages. This is not the case if you search on 'country of origin'. We would like to have "equals" and a dropdown list with countries added to the conditions.

Coordinate the alphabetization of the Letters tables
Coordinate the alphabetization of the Letter Activity table and the Letter Emails table in configuration, and the letters description table in the OLH. Each table seems to use a different alphabetization scheme (if any at all) which makes it extremely difficult to coordinate configurations or to locate specific letters to customize or review.

Create a system that IDs (and removes?) former staff who are still linked to reports and actions in ALMA.
We have had several people leave our library but we didn't realized that they were still listed as recipients on reports and scheduled actions. ExLibris say there is currently no way to identify what process staff members are connected to except to open and edit every report and look for their name. A simpler way of IDing or reporting/removing ex-staff would be very helpful (long term).
