Option to exclude facets when searching the library
When adding a reference from the library search, you can filter based on "Type" and "Available here" facets in Leganto. This is great, but it would also be helpful if you could exclude facets as well, like you can in Primo. For instance, if you don't want Open Access records you should be able to exclude them. The "Type" facets are usually mutually exclusive (so isn't as relevant to exclude), but this is not true for the "Available here" facets. References can for instance be both "Open access" and "Peer reviewed" at the same time.
Our specific use case is…

More file type options for Reading List bulk export
At the moment it's possible to bulk export Reading Lists by running the job called 'Reading List Bulk Update' and selecting 'Export to PDF'.
Would be beneficial if we can export to other types such as .lgn or .ris. As those files would serve better as 'baclups' and can also be imported back into Leganto

Create a configuration option that allows due back date to default to be empty instead of course end date
We don't remove things from physical reserves at the end of the term automatically. We wish to be able to have reading lists default to an empty due back date. Currently we have to create a set and run a bulk update job to clear the due back date because it defaults to the end of the term.
We propose a new configuration option somewhere that allows institutions to choose whether due back date defaults to the end of term, or whether it defaults to an empty value.

Broken link/problem files resolution inside NUI
I see there is consultation arising from NERS results about the broken link report emails (to library, an alert that a report has been made and to users, a resolution notice).
It made me think there is an opportunity in the new UI to streamline the link/file fixing process.
- When a library team member is signed in to Leganto could broken links/problem file reports be indicated in the notifications area to identify affected lists - not just the assigned librarian, but any library team member with course reserves roles?
- Could an affected citation have a indicator appear to identify which…

My Collection > Increase limit
The current limit of items you can have in your Leganto Collection is 1000.
Would be good if we can increase it (or have it configurable) as we have academics wishing to export all their reading list/citations into their Collection from their previous institutions, and sometimes they exceed the limit

Set Task List "Unassigned - List with new Note to zero
We are starting to manage our 'Unassigned - List with new note' task which had not previously been dealt with in our workflow. The notes all say "Comment: List was published List status: Ready For Processing" even though the lists are completed. The list is quite large even though the lists have been completed.
Apparently there is no way to automatically clear this task and set it to zero. The Ex Libris support team agree that this would be a useful enhancement and suggest this enhancement suggestion.
I guess there may be other tasks that could be managed in this…

Upload one file per page range allowed
Some material types like book chapter or book extracts, allow to have two page ranges.
However, it is only possible to upload one file.The page range data from the citation is used in our copyright platform integration, and PDF files are created based on this data, that is, one per page range. Having to merge the files before uploading them is unnecessary extra work so we would like to be able to upload several files per citation (1 per page range).

Suggest Replacement feature - display availability and request options for instructor
There should be an easy way for an instructor to place a hold request (for physical – if allowed by the institution) or access full-text (for ebooks) on the suggested replacement for a citation. Currently, when there is a replacement suggestion, the instructor can only see the title metadata and approve or decline the suggestion. There’s no easy way for the instructor to get access to the suggested item. This is important when the instructor hasn’t yet seen the new edition and needs to review the content before finalising their reading list.

Suggest Replacement feature - Handling citations with specific tags during course dates
If the citation has a specific tag (7 Day, Reserve, etc. as defined by the institution), the course has started and the suggestion was approved:
1. Mark the citation as ready for processing (or status of the choice of the institution)
2. Add a citation task-list alert in Alma that the suggestion was approved
This would allow staff to identify citations that needed action due to the new edition (e.g. copies need to be moved to high demand locations)2 votes -
Suggest Replacement feature - keep book extract or chapter information
When using the Suggest Replacement feature for book extract or chapter citations, the data in the chapter and/or page range fields should be kept (rather than automatically deleted) if the suggestion is approved. When the suggestion is approved either from Leganto or Alma there should be an alert (like a pop-up box) to notify the user they may need to check the chapter/page range details on the suggested replacement.
Alternatively, the user could be presented with an option to decide whether the chapter/extract information is kept or overwritten.

Add information on reading list creation to Alma Analytics
We would like to have more information about how a reading list was created in order to trouble-shoot issues. Could you please add fields to Analytics on whether the list was created via rollover, via the Duplicate option or by New List button, and whether in Leganto or Alma.

Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo
When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

Display Public Access Model message in Leganto
At UNSW, we use portfolio’s Public Access Model to indicate if an eBook has unlimited or restricted access. The same message also shows in Primo so users are aware of the conditions before accessing eBooks.
We believe the information will also benefit our Leganto users, but unfortunately, the message doesn’t display in Leganto, so we would like to propose the idea of displaying the Public Access Model message in Leganto.
We raised a case with Ex Libris, but they said it is not part of their current development work plan.

Shareable link function in the Leganto file viewer
In the Leganto PDF viewer there is no option to create a shareable link to the citation.
Problem: The educator or another student wants to share a link direct to the viewer (e.g. Hi students, add your comments on this file), they can only get the URL from the browser address bar. This URL does not support SAML authentication. They do not understand the implications of doing this, and will not go back to the other tab to get a shareable link - indeed they may have closed the other tab.
- User may end up at the Leganto authentication page…

Configure default status for Library Physical Digitization requests
When working with citations, we would like the ability to configure the default status when a Library Physical Digitization request has been submitted.
Parameters available via the Course Reserves Automatic Statuses mapping table allow default statuses to be assigned for resource sharing requests and purchasing requests. Could an additional parameter be added for Library Physical Digitization requests?

Customize and/or hide out-of-the-box publishing statuses
The publishing statuses are many and confusing.
An institution rarely uses more than two. We would like to be able to:
- hide the irrelevant statuses, to avoid them being selected by librarian and instructors
- customize the names of the statuses to make them clearer.Use case: one of our institutions decided on a specific status for all faculties/departments, with the exception of one department that wants lists to be more restricted. The publishing status for this specific department could be customized with the department name.

Editor button integration: show requirement to choose bibliography style
When selecting a citation using the editor button, the Add button does not work until a bibliography style is selected from the drop-down menu. For the new user, this can be confusing. It needs a visual indicator of some kind, such as prompt text in the box or an error message. Ideally, there would be default as there is for the link text, and it would be "sticky" -- remembering the user's last selection.

Separate Alma "attach existing file" from Leganto "upload file" for automatic citation statuses
We have set citationuploadedfile to "ReadyForProcessing" so that when an educator uploads a file we know we have to pay attention to copyright audit and process the citation promptly.
When library staff use the "Attach Existing File" function in Alma it sets the citations to "Ready for Processing" seemingly using the same parameter.
We would expect that an Alma user attaching a file is very different to an educator uploading a file and we should be able to define the automatic citations separately.
Note: an Alma user uploading a file when editing a citation does not trigger this…

Automatic hold request when adding physical item
We need requests to be placed on items that have been added to a reading list in Leganto. Otherwise students see that the item is available in the stacks and may go pick it up before our staff can OR be confused at the location since course reserves are always behind our front desk.
There's also no alert in Alma stating that the item has been added to a reading list and to double check.
In our current workflow, we do not employ the manually-set "move request" on items we pull from the stacks because it's extra clicks. This should…

Auto publish option for instructor rollover
The new autopublishon_create functionality works when an instructor creates a new list from scratch in Leganto, but when they rollover it doesn't take effect.
This is counter-intuitive for us, since instructor rollover is precisely the situation where the library has previously seen the list so doesn't need to review it again.
Can instructor rollover be included in the scope of the autopublishon_create functionality?
Or even better, instead of a binary true/false setting, it could take a list of different situations so libraries can choose when they want auto-publish to take effect: eg new lists, instructor rollover,…
