Allow default filter settings in searches to be customised
Dear creative minds,
There are many search bars in ALMA that have default filter settings. Depending on personal preference and work tasks, the default is not always practical. Time and time again I need to change the filter settings to my particular preference or need. Not efficient in terms of mouse clicks and time!
This issue is conspicuously time and click-consuming when one tries to add a closed PO line to a portfolio, collection or associate it to another PO line. The default filter is set to 'Active' PO lines, so closed PO lines will not be searched. One needs…

Add "PO Line Owner" as an input parameter for Purchase/Invoice Review Rules
Adding "PO Line Owner" as a parameter for Purchase/Invoice Review Rules would allow differentiation by location. Our main library uses student workers for ordering, and I want to be able to have review rules in place to catch potential mistakes. Our satellite location has one staff person doing all the acquisitions. These same review rules will be cumbersome for their workflow. Having separate rules allows each location to operate most efficiently.

Display 'suppressed bib' icon consistently in every Alma context.
I'm looking at a list of portfolios in Alma, many linking to suppressed bibs. None of those portfolios whose bibs are suppressed display the 'eye with a line through it'-icon (which should also maybe include alt text for screen readers?)
How about making suppressed-ness sticky throughout the UI, with a baked-in rule to protect exceptions. (ARE there exceptions?)

Make the "License ID" visible in Alma
My team was trying to investigate ways to make sets for a project regarding our licenses and thought using the License ID would be great, but it's frustrating since we can't even see what the License ID actually is unless you find it in an Analytics report and search for it. In Analytics, you can add a column to show the "License ID", but are unable to view that in Alma. I think if it's viewable in Analytics and it's also a searchable field in Alma, it would make sense to make it an option to view in Alma as…

Rollover PO lines that are fully invoiced but not paid
Example:
1. A PO is created and gets fully invoiced in mid-December.
2. In January the fiscal period closure happens. Said PO does not get rolled over (as it's fully invoiced).
3. Sometime later in January the invoice gets paid.The conflict lies in step 3: In Alma the payment is linked to the fund from the old year, while our financial department actually payed it from the fund of the new year.
One possible solution would be in step 2 to also allow rollover of PO lines that are fully invoiced but not paid yet.

Add "License Type" filter
Under the licenses tab, you're able to view all licenses and amendments that your institution has created. There are currently two filters: "Status" and "Review Status".
It would be helpful if there was an additional filter for "License Type" so that we can filter the list down even further to view only Licenses or Amendments. Some of our licenses come with a TON of amendments, and it's not always ideal to see licenses across multiple pages when I may need to review things regarding our Master Licenses.

Dreams of Growth The Final Exam Journey
Lena had always been anxious about exams, but this time, it was different. In the days leading up to her high-stakes final, she began having vivid dreams. Each night, she relived moments from the past year—times when she struggled, failed, and learned. She saw herself pushing through challenges, asking for help, and growing stronger with each setback. One dream even led her to a ghostwriting company where she learned the importance of collaboration and research. These dreams transformed her mindset. When the day of the exam arrived, Lena walked in with confidence, knowing she had already passed the toughest tests.…

Allow API update action of License in POLine record
Currently, License field in POLine record cannot be updated via Acquisition API. There are no effective way to link up POLine record and License record without manual update one by one. The field were mentioned in the restpoline.xsd as
"The license code. Relevant for electronic orders only, and is not supported for PUT. "

Send an email to specific library staff member once an Invoice or Purchase Order is paid for
I would like a function that you could alert a library staff member once an invoice or purchase order is paid for. Sometimes, library staff need to know that an order has been paid for so they can turn on access or know how much is left to spend on a fund. It would be a neat functionality that a letter can be generated from Alma directly to a library staff member once the PO has been paid.

License field for Purchase Order Line value
We would like a total values field on the Summary tab of a License that gives us the total cost of all the PO Lines which that license covers. This would tell us quickly the expenditure value of each license in Alma and enable us to prioritise license workflows by expenditure value.

Ability to make financial adjustments to previous fiscal years after rollover
We would like to be able to make financial adjustments to prior fiscal years after rollover occurs. We want to complete rollover in a timely fashion to be able to continue business as usual, however our University's closing occurs later than we complete rollover in Alma and there are times when I need to adjust Alma to match any last minute general ledger changes.

Add the option to edit or delete recorded responses for trials
It is not possible to edit or delete a recorded response for trials. In some cases, customers would like to test surveys before making them public to ensure everything is working properly and then delete the test responses.
It is needed to add a functionality that allows to remove individual answers.0 votes -
Add a new privilege to the "Purchasing Operator" role which will prevent users with this role from being able to delete items
This Idea was submitted by ExLibris to check the community support for the following enhancemnet:
Currently, users with "Purchasing Operator" role can delete items, the existing logic behind this is, when a PO line is created (even before it is received), there is a need for the Purchasing Operator to be able to delete the item in case of an error on the order.This Idea suggest to add a new privilege to the Purchasing Operator role which will prevent this user from being able to delete items - the new privilege should be enabled by default to maintain existing…
