More granular configuration of citation export options
In Config > Leganto > UI > List menu we can configure which options display for users eg whether to give them the option to Export.
But "Export" has a lot of sub-options and we don't want to confuse lecturers/students with most of them. We'd like somewhere we can configure which of these we want/don't want to offer (eg so we could promote the "to Word" and "to Endnote" options but hide the "to PDF" and "to Excel" options).

Create a way to match old lists to newer version of lists.
Recently we have had a curriculum review which has meant not all courses are rolled over. Sometimes we are creating new courses. Then as lecturers finally start working on their lists. They tell the library that this is the newer course of an old course. It would be go to have a way of marking old lists and their newer version. Even if they have been created without rollover.

popular reading lists
We currently have old lists showing on our popular reading list section. We would like to be able to remove these from the list. Either by changing the configuration of how the list is created or being able to pick which lists are in the popular list.

Hide locations from Resource Locate
Hide locations from Resource Locate
We would like an option to filter out specific locations for the resource locate functionality in Leganto.
For legal reasons we can't purge lost/discarded items, they have to remain in Alma where they are collected in locations that are suppressed from discovery so they don't show up in Primo. Unfortunately that doesn't exclude them from being used as positive results for resource locating even though they are not actually available.
We also have several collections that are not accessible to people but (some of them) show up in Primo. Those are also items we wouldn't…

Allow resource_locate_multiple_matches and resource_locate_multiple_matches_priority to take effect when locating single citation in Alma
When resource locate is run on a single citation, Alma will only locate it if a single match is found; if there are no matches or multiple matches then the resource locate will fail and the citation's status will change to declined.
The resource locate multiple match priority settings, which we use to prioritise electronic inventory, currently only apply when running resource locate in bulk using the Process and Enrich citations in Bulk job or when citations are added in Leganto by instructors. It does not apply when running resource locate on a single citation in Alma i.e. as happens…

Include more search features in Leganto such as Subject Search, Sort by Newest, and more filter options that is available in Primo.
Leganto Search box is limited in comparison to Primo which means we need to do more complex searches in Primo and then import/export selected items, which is quite tedious with large and non-specific results. Please allow individual libraries to provide the option to add more Primo features such as filters, sort, and advanced Subject Search.
5 votesWe plan to add the following options for the new UI:
Advanced search:
1. Select from Contains, Contains exact phrase, Starts with
2. Search by DOI
3. Type and Availability filters on the Advanced search page
4. Filter by publication date: Specific year, Last 2 years, Last 5 years, etc.
Search results:
5. Select multiple filters for type or availability with OR operator between. Example, Book or Book chapter

Leganto: Have a Reference displayed for the resource in the style required eg APA7th
There was a comment from an academic saying when their readings were in the Learning Management System they had the correct APA referencing style demonstrated, with the link to the reading – so students could see the correct format. And the academic was disappointed that the Leganto list didn’t demonstrate the referencing in the correct style. So we would propose that under the title of the resource in the Leganto list, the reference for the resource would be listed in APA6 (or probably APA7 now) format. Ideally it would be like Endnote – where we input the data in the…

Add a Session Timeout URL config in Legnato
Add an option in Leganto configuration where we can specify a "Session Timeout URL" so it is not just dependent on Alma settings. This variable is available in Primo. Since this is a student facing interface, it would be good to be able to configure this feature.

Leganto labels to support HTML tags
Currently only the text of labels in Leganto can be customised and HTML tags are not supported. This limits the usefulness for customisation, particularly for including hyperlinks in the labels.
For example, we have just updated the list.notavailable and list.primo.notavailable labels to include a link to a form which students can fill in to request that a list be created for their course, however we have had to add text advising the student to copy and paste the link as we are not able to add a hyperlink using HTML. The usability is therefore not as efficient for students.

Accessibility for Digital Items on Course Reserves
Currently we are only able to add one file to a single citation. We would like to provide all the alternative electronic formats for scanned articles and book chapters to make sure that our electronic resources are more accessible. We have been testing with the Blackboard Ally program, which produces alternative electronic files of the following types: OCRedPDF, Tagged PDF, Audio, HTML, Electronic Braille, ePub and Beeline Reader. Another option for the future could be Leganto automatically making those file types available once you attach a scanned document. The file transforming tool we are currently using is at https://ally.ac/covid19/ .

Automatically set Open Access citations to complete
I'd like to propose a new functionality enabling citations that are open access to be set to "complete" (semi-)automatically.
Having to go through all open citations and checking each for possible open access is a cumbersome and time consuming effort we (the library) would like to simplify.
An "[ ] Open Access" checkbox within the Add Item menu, the citation and for Cite It! would enable instructors to do so themselves with little additional work on their side.

Improve the Notification Type table in Alma
The Notification type table can be displayed in different languages in Alma. However, after translating it, we realized it was not possible to upload a file with all the translations. We had to add each label manually.
Another issue we encountered is that we were not able to distribute the table from our "Alma Network" instance to all the institutions in the consortium, which we do for examples with the label tables.
Both these issue make it impossible for us to implement the translations for each institution as it would require too much work.

Multiple processing departments for instructor digitization requests
Today, Leganto configuration includes a hardcoded processing department for instructor digitization requests.
