Archiving a shared title alert
If a title alert is shared, there is no way to tell if the person or persons you share that alert with have seen it. Neither of us knows if the other has seen the list or when to archive it (ideally after all have reviewed it).

New format available notification
Sometimes our librarians put titles on their personal lists, but want to wait until they come out in paperback before ordering. Is there a way for them to sign up to receive a notification when a new format becomes available for order or in stock on a specific title?

"Replace Offer" changes selector
Our workflow is that the librarians put orders through to approval, and acquisitions staff then approves those orders. Sometimes they find an alternate "offer" that is lower priced or in stock (as opposed to shipping in 4 weeks, etc.) and use the "replace title" feature to change which offer they are approving. This replaces who the selector of record is to the staff member rather than the librarian that originally selected the title.
Could this be fixed so that the original selector stays the "selector of record" throughout the process even in a different offer is selected? This will will…3 votesThe Rialto team has reviewed this idea and this work has been planned on our short-term roadmap. Thank you for your feedback and support.

Badge DDA titles visible in discovery as "In Your Institution" only AFTER purchase has been triggered/approved.
Is there a DDA pool-identifying condition that could be applied to the logic "if visible in local discovery, badge as 'in your institution' "
As it stands we have no way of knowing whether a title in the DDA pool is a duplicate, or completely new. At load, we may not own any titles in a pool, but we can end up acquiring some titles after the load is complete, e.g. in an update to an aggregate collection. We purchase multiple copies of the same title only under very special circumstances, and we can't be the only library with this…

Utilizing Replacement Cost Field in Alma
I'm borrowing an idea that exists in the Alma Idea Exchange (Copy PO Line Prices to Item Replacement Cost). It would be beneficial for the actual cost of an item (invoice price) after discounts to be populated into the Replacement Cost or Inventory Cost fields in Alma, or to be configurable by the institution to suit their needs. For example, we would like the invoice price to populate into the Inventory Price field, and then have that price + processing fee added into the Replacement Cost field.

add "move to list" option for orders waiting for approval
Right now in order to move requested items that are waiting for approval to a list, they have to be rejected. We are not rejecting them, we want to put them in a list to be ordered at a later date. Please add the option of "move to list".

Price Change Alert
Notify customers with an alert icon or popup when the price drops or increases for an item they have added to Cart or to a list.
In order to avoid alerts indicating insignificant increase or decrease (of a few cents for example), each customer should have the possibility to configure an alert threshold (as a percentage in 'Other Settings') in relation to the time when the item was originally added to Cart or the list.

Add a "date added" filter to the Orders Awaiting Approval list.
We need to be able to filter the list in "Orders Awaiting Approval" based on "date added." This information does not show up in the export, either, therefore the export to Excel needs to contain the "date added" as well. The interface currently allows us to sort by "date added," however we have no idea as to what those dates actually are or if they are ascending or descending. We need to see dates in the results list and be able to sort, filter, and do the same in an exported file in Excel.

Add "reports" facet in the order history
The order status reports we receive via email indicate report codes for instances where items are backordered, etc. We currently do not have a way to filter the "Order History" selections according to these reports. We need to be able to filter the list according to the "report date" and "report code" along with any other "report" information sent to us in the emails we receive so we can see which items are in a report code status. For example, the email indicates "Report Code: Out of Stock-Backordered(20)" for one of our titles and "Report Code: Additional Searching Required (21)."…

All notes and other data about a selection should be available through the entire acquisitions process to discovery.
We should be able to add a note at the time of selection to an item and that note should be available and searchable all the way through the acquisitions process. Which librarian selected the item? Why did they select it? Notes created in the List do not transfer, this is silly; what's the point of entering the a note if the cataloger will not see it? Right now, we don't have the ability to place a note when we are selecting the item, we have to enter the note in the "List" function. This is is an incredibly clumsy…

Display the Process Type in the Rialto Holdings Panel
The Holdings panel in the Marketplace indicates whether the title is already in the institution holdings. In some cases, the item may not be available. It would be very useful if the process type (Missing, Lost, Claimed Returned, Acquisition, Loan, Hold Shelf...) would be displayed in the panel itself. The reason why it is not available is hidden. If we see ‘Missing’ or ‘Lost’, the library may be more inclined to buy a new copy. The information is available, though after several clicks.

Customize purchase request web form text color or bring under Primo VE CSS
The preference of our branding people is a dark purple which black text is not very visible on. I guess WCAG is more important but I would like to adjust text color either on the Market form section in Alma or with the custom.css file in Primo VE to meet both objectives.

Add fields to My List export
When staff collate items in a list they use the comments field extensively. When the list is exported to excel the comments are not included. Can the comments field be added to the export?

Allow multiple holdings on the same import job
Multiple copies for the same title under different library locations processed on the same import job, fail to update bib correctly.
When multiple bib records within the same import job for the same title are imported from the system, only the first record from the file is merged with the bib record, and all subsequent records (for other libraries or locations) are matched and skipped.

Internal item specific notes for titles on lists
It would be great if internal notes could be added to specific items that have been added to lists, with only ppl with access to said list(s) able to see the notes. This feature would be useful for rush/reserve/replacement/special orders when the selector needs to communicate information specific to the item.

Rialto Market to Alma Purchase Request Crosswalk
When Selectors put purchase requests through the Alma Purchase Request form the Purchasing Manager can push the request to Rialto Market. But when Selectors put something in Rialto Market the Purchasing Manager cannot push it to Alma Purchasing Request form. This would be extremely helpful and eliminate the need to go into Rialto, cancel the order and re-create it from scratch in the Alma Purchase Request form.

"Buy it Now" option in Selection Plan
We received a request for purchase from a patron for an ebook which is in our current batch of selection plan titles in review so if we do nothing it will ship, which is fine.
My question is on the Purchase title button. I had hoped that this would act as a Buy It Now option such that with a click, Rialto would deliver immediately, the selection plan profiled "copy" of the book.
However, It seems that Purchase Title simply moves the order to the firm order workflow, thus requiring manual (or template) entry of the ordering library, fund, report…

Automate workflows for approving or denying alternate editions, and over price threshold
Right now all this happens via email. It's a cumbersome process and the email only goes to the person who approved the order. If the approval or denial could be integrated into the Rialto workflow process others from the institution could respond.

Notify customers when platform vendors reject a DDA title in Rialto
When a librarian adds titles to the DDA pool and they disappear because the platform vendor has removed them, librarians want to be notified. Librarians are losing track of what has been lost. They recently become aware of lost titles because of titles that were special requests. After these became known, and it was discovered that this list was growing, a concern for untracked titles developed. How many pushed DDA titles go missing? All selectors who push DDA titles need to be sent a regular monthly report by email of the titles that were removed.

Within Keylinks (Kortext) reading lists, GOBI and Browns price information is integrated in the price checker acquisitions module. Rialto market information should also be integrated here.
