Link prioritization in Leganto
Some aggregators, e.g. EBSCO, don't make preprints available as quickly as publishers, e.g. Wiley. But because the preprints do fall in our coverage range, the aggregator links appear and look like broken links. In discovery, we can use Link Prioritization to place the publisher links above the aggregator links. Direct linking, then, doesn't point to "broken" links.
Can Leganto set up Link Prioritization too? So that we can place the functional links (publisher) above broken links (aggregator).11 votes -
Additional copyright rule parameters
Currently we can create a copyright rule with a parameter "Publisher" so we could automatically block or approve copyright clearance requests based on the publisher.
The copyright licensing body in New Zealand provides a list of titles excluded from the licensing scheme. Some of these are defined by publisher, but others are defined by title specifically, by ISBN, or by author. It would be useful for us to create rules based on title, ISBN, or author to block our other copyright rules from automatically clearing copyright in these cases.

Increase the number of page range fields for Book Extract citation type
Colleagues whose day job involves working with Leganto have expressed interest in being able to add more page range fields for the Book Extract citation type.
At the moment there are only two page range fields that can be made use of, which use these types:
• Start Page
• Start Page2
• End Page
• End Page2We would like to be able to add at least 4 page ranges, so have these field types available also:
• Start Page3
• End Page3
• Start Page4
• End Page4Thank you for your consideration!

Enable default Course Year to be configured in Alma similar to Start and End date default
In Alma configuration you can set a default course start and end date that is allocated when a new course is created.
Course Year does not have a configurable default and so must be entered every time.
It would be really helpful if there was a configurable default Course Year.7 votes -
Header
In a course reading list within Leganto, it should be possible to 1) make the header persistent or 2) always hide once you start scrolling. In 3 different browsers - Chrome, Edge, and FireFox - when we scroll, the header sometimes shrinks and stays that way (which is good) and other times, it pops back up. This is a UI issue and should be an easy fix and/or configuration, but it is rather annoying for users when the header keeps minimizing and then un-minimizing, over and over again.

Set default citation statuses in RIS import
When we add an item manually, a resource locate is run and a default citation status is added based on our configuration. But when we import items in a batch (eg via RIS import), these actions don't take place.
This means that items all import as "Being Prepared" instead of being automatically marked as "Complete" (if we have full-text online available) or being flagged for our attention (in other cases). We don't have a workflow to deal with this - due to low staffing we have to rely on automation - so we can't promote this batch import functionality to…

Publish_default_mode needs to developed to allow different processes dependent on set criteria
Situation - Currently we are trying to make the majority of our reading lists open access. However, due to departmental and copyright issues. We cant make all lists open access. Therefore, we currently have Publishdefaultmode set to All Students Full. Which means staff manually run sets on a daily basis to find readings lists that have been published and are not from two specific academic departments and run a bulk reading list job to change them to All Students Full, Anyone Restricted.
Solution. We would prefer that the Publishdefaultmode is enhanced to publish lists with different…5 votes -
Search/filtering of list selection dialog in Primo "Send to Leganto" action
When adding a citation from Primo using the Leganto action object, users are presented with a drop down list of all reading lists they are an owner or collaborator on. This list is sorted from oldest to newest and it's difficult to find the proper list if many are displayed.
Our faculty liaisons and course reserves staff frequently use this tool and may be collaborators on scores or even hundreds of lists that may have similar names. Faculty too, may have multiple lists of the same name if they teach the same course from term to term.

Add MARC field 240 as a new field in Leganto
We have several records representing e-books, which are published as e-books (much) later than when the same content was published as a printed book. The printed book may be published in 2007, the same e-book in 2019, and even if both dates are recorded in the 008-field of the record, this information is not displayed in Leganto. Only the actual publishing year (in our example 2019) is visible to the user. It makes it look like a newer edition, which it is not.
Ex: https://bibsys-k.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/citation/14473946130002204?institute=47BIBSYS_UBO&auth=SAMLOur case was closed last time (#05336252) but we are now moving to RDA standards,…

Using "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists/Courses do not appear in this report.
We created a Leganto report with the subject area "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists do not appear in this report.
We assume that this is because there has not been any student interaction with these lists but there is nothing about this in knowledge center documentation.
We have been having to run separate analytics reports to get all the data we need it.
It would be nice to be able to use the Leganto Student Usage criteria to gather statistics on ALL the reading lists, courses and citations, regardless if they’ve been used or not.15 votes -
Add "Uploaded file" as availability option in questions
Currently we can have a question appear based on whether a citation is held in print, electronically, or in the digital collection. It would be useful to also have the option of having the question appear based on whether the user has uploaded a file to the item.
Example use case: we configure a question "EU" and it appears when the item has Electronic holdings and the user has also Uploaded the file. This lets us confirm whether they really need both methods, and make sure that copyright clearance is dealt with, which we haven't been able to make work…

Reset X when searching for items in list should reset results to all citations
When using "Search for item in this Reading List", if a term returns a subset of citations, clearing the search term using the X ("Reset") icon in the search box does not return the user to the full list. It only clears the term out of the search box, leaving the limited results. The user has no intuitive path back to the full list, so they often click the back button at the top of the window and exit the list entirely.
Conversely, if the search term returns no results, clicking the X icon does return the user to the…

Automatically update reading list code in Alma
When a list is 'rolled over', the new 'course' created in Alma has the correct code from the LMS e.g. Canvas. The correct code also appears in the 'reading list' in Leganto. However, in Alma the reading list copies the code from the previous year and adds a (1) to the end.
As an example:
In Alma the course code is: LAWU9CH202223AutumnA
In Leganto the code is LAWU9CH202223AutumnA(2022/23)
but in the Reading List in Alma it says LAWU9CH39_2020(1)(1)It would be much clearer for the reading list in Alma to automatically follow the same…

Sort citations by section in Alma
Most of our institutions use a two-section structure in Leganto, where one section is recommended literature. Citations in this section are not treated the same way by the library as "mandatory citations". Hence the need to sort citations in reading lists by section in Alma.
The feedback we got from an institution is that they would like "Section" to be a filter/dropdown menu where they can choose a specific section, the same way the tag menu works.

Citations' Sticker price
In a webinar recently, the trainer talked about being able to add a sticker price to a Leganto citation. This would allow the ability to generate a more accurate report on savings for students. However, currently this has to be manually entered for every citation. I know eventually we will be able to use the API to add this data, and even though that's better, it's not a great way to utilize the system. My idea is this:
1) within Alma, citations have an assigned sticker price;
2) in Leganto, when Instructors pull from these citations, they get that sticker…1 vote -
Add a simpler method of updating the number of participants on courses (in bulk)
Although the API and Course loader options exist, the mandatory requirement to have a course ID and Course Name using the full CL template and the unwieldiness of the course loader profile SFTP etc for non technical staff suggests that it would be beneficial to add a simpler method for staff to manually update course participant numbers in bulk (i.e. a simple upload of 2 columns Course ID and Number of participants). Appreciate campus functionality, but for situations where no enrolment loader is possible, but regular updates are possible it would save much manual entry to just be able to…

Review how the Alma course load/reading list rollover job works
We run Leganto Rollover through Alma every year. It has been increasingly more difficult as the job takes longer each year.
Can we please request that rollover process be re-evaluated in general. But specifically in the time it takes to process.
We need the rollover to run in one day if possible. It seems that if rollover uses a large input file it takes a very long time. It's becoming unmanageable for our users as currently one load job is taking over 48 hours.
We'd like it to be simplified in general. Obviously we are all different and each site…

Keep deleted citation records in the system
When we remove a citation record the system delete it without any historical information.
It would be very useful to mantain the information about the deleted citations (and be able to collect this information with Analytics, as is currently the case with bibliographic records) to perform tasks on the documents physically, like changing items location or removing stickers...

Display whether citation appears on another list
Previously there was a feature that displayed whether a citation existed on another reading list, with some limited functionality, e.g. only displaying if the other list was also on your My Lists page and the citation was an Alma repository item. This feature was taken away by Product Management in January 2022. We have received feedback from instructors that they would like to know when a citation is in use on any other list at the institution, including those not taught by them and where courses are not currently active (but lists are Published). This ensures they are not duplicating…

Hide misleading 'Available in Formats' status in Search Results
When searching Summon, via 'Add Items', it shows eBooks as available just because an ebook exists, and not necessarily because we own it - this can be misleading. It updates once the item is added to the Reading List, but should only show formats that are available or not show any format detail at all until the book has been added. In the example shown, we only own a print copy - but the results make it look like we own the e.
