Adding metadata to articles via the search interface in ALMA
When using the Link Resolver on an uploaded article it needs comprehensive amounts of metadata attached in order to locate the resource.
If an article is uploaded without metadata the librarian needs to search Primo and manually add the needed metadata to the item.
In order to optimize the workflow we would like to be able to use Locate Resource in Alma to find the metadata and automagically add it to the item. As we are using Primo VE this should be possible.

Change reading list jobs to work on sets of reading list IDs instead of reading list Codes
Currently the reading list jobs in Alma/Leganto rely on users creating a set of reading lists. Unfortunately the creation of the set is based only on the reading list code, which:
- makes it inconsistent with all other set creation activities which support IDs
- adds unnecessary complication when loading the file of data to create the set, in that you then have to worry about handling special characters and unique codes.
It would basically be the same as requiring users to upload a set of titles to create a title/physical item set.
We've had to create several reading list sets in…

Configuration of a 'pop up' when creating a new list using a black tamplate.
When you create a new list using a blank template and want to add some sections you are able to add the first section however when you want to add a second section a pop-up appears which tells you to add items to the first section and this pops up in front of the add section button, also there doesn't seem to be a way of closing the pop up unless you click to add an item.
It would be good if there was an 'X' in the pop up so we can continue to add sections or an option…

Hide or customise the top and bottom sections of the quick start wizard.
We want instructors to focus in the middle section to create lists. The top section is too broad, instructors have to scroll down to get to the main functionality. The bottom section is irrelevant especially the gif, we can't even change it

Use Analytics to surface information on user activity in My Collection
We would like to use Analytics to see user activity in My Collection, for example how many times a title has been added to My Collection (but not necessarily added to a reading list).
14 votesWe will not offer this; My Collection is private to the user. If the primary concern is about copyright, note that files uploaded to citations which have the Copyright Auditing Required checkbox enabled are only accessible through the list and within the dates specified in the copyright record. Files cannot be accessed from My Collection when the citation has an associated copyright record.

Instructor / list owner to receive notification when list and/or all list citations marked complete
It would be useful for the instructor to know when all citations have been dealt with by library staff so that they can then choose to publish their list (rather than making the list available to students despite some items not being obtainable).

Display resource availability for electronic portfolios directly without having to click "View more notes" link
Availability of Citation electronice resource (e.g. "Available from year|volume|issue...") is not displayed directly on Leganto Citation Details page. User has to click "View more notes" link to un-hide availability. This is inconsistent with the behavior in Primo (Primo displays availablility directly), and take extra clicks for users to find out the information. Please display resource availability directly without having to click "View more notes" link to find it out. Thanks.

As a course instructor, I would like the electronic resource availability to be displayed directly on Citation Details page, so that I don't have to do extra clicks…1 vote -
Edit Pane to remain on Screen when editing & saving an item.
When you edit an item in a reading list and click save the list advisor panel replaces the edit panel, it would be better for the edit panel to remain on screen after you've clicked on save as further edits may be needed to the same item?

make tags of mandatory or optional reading as compulsory so that librarians know exactly which material to buy without having to clarify
if these tags were compulsory Liaison librarian wouldn't then have to clarify with instructors whether or not to buy material.

Reading List Status Changes based on Citations Statuses and Assignees
It would be great if the manual process of Changing a Reading List Status could be automated by Alma dependant on factors like Assignee being set to someone, rather than being for the Reading List. This could trigger the List Status to change from Waiting for Processing to Being Processed.
Another Reading List Status automation we would suggest is that when every Citation in a Reading List is marked Citation Status Complete, this could trigger the Reading List Status to be updated Complete.
Both of these Reading List Status changes are things that need to be performed manually at present…

Drag citations from list into My Collection
Could functionality be added so that citations which appear in lists can be copied to My Collection by drag and drop (rather than via options > copy to collection).
This seems logical, as you can do the reverse action to copy a citation from My Collection to a list via drag and drop.

Find List Search needs to have a specific Reading List Search Bar
Currently the Find List search in Leganto is searching for Course Titles and Course codes and instructors. Rather than searching at the Reading List level. As we keep most of our information at Reading List level, It would be helpful if this was renamed Find Course and Make another Search to Find Reading Lists information. Which could search Reading List title, Reading List code, and Reading List Instructors.

Notes added in Alma to default to 'Library' type (rather than 'Instructor')
Notes added in Alma are likely to be for internal use only for Library staff. It would therefore be useful for the note type to default to 'Library' rather than 'Instructor'.

List creators to be better distinguished with different colours sections in reading list
List creators would like to be able to better distinguish different reading list sections by having the option to assign them a specific colour. This would be especially useful for long lists administered by a number of different academics. For example: an academic could say to his/her students, "my readings are in the orange section". It would improve the list navigation experience for students.

'Add new title to section' button - float in long sections
Some lists have long sections. It would be very helpful not to have to scroll up through long sections to get to the 'Add new title to section' button. Would it be possible to make this button 'float' so that it is visible wherever you are in a list section. This would improve the list navigation experience for instructors and creators.
