Auto update to Resource Locate Status
When we purchase a material thought the request from Leganto, after the item is delivered and processed by Library, the Resources Locate Status is still "Resource Located" but not "Check Availability", it is necessary to make the Alma update automatically.

Add platform filter to the "Missing Data"
The "Missing Data" tab under the Load Usage Data section should have a filter for platform. As I set up more usage reports and as I want to check and make sure all the data came through, it has become more difficult to find the rows that I want to review. A filter for platform will help.
Thank you!

Option to receive from items list
Please make it an option to receive an issue, without having to navigate away to the specific "Receiving" page, if you are looking at it on an items list. Often I'll be working on items and notice that one of them is not received when it should be, but I can't change that without interrupting my workflow or opening a new window.

Confirmation message when receiving items for continuous titles
Please consider adding a confirmation message when an item for a continuous title (e.g. print serial) has been successfully received. This messaging--which would be similar to the "success" screen when checking in serials in Aleph--would make the process much clearer for student workers who often handle this task in academic libraries.
Thanks for considering!

Acquisition Renewals for NZ e-collections
We would like the ability to renew a shared e-collection.
The new FY year price would be displayed in the negotiated license and then a renew button would be available. the library would see the new FY cost and then renew or cancel that subscription.
Then this renewal or cancel would notify the NZ administrator.

the closed pol cannot be modified
Currently the POLs could be modified even if the status is closed. In order to prevent the mistake we wish that the closed pol can not be modified and have a view function for the closed POLs.

Expand the options for rolling over different types of PO Lines differently
We would like to be able to differentiate how print and electronic POLs roll over.
If either of the following could be done to address this, it would be great.
Expand the roll over only certain types POLs list from
One Time
Continuous
Standing Order
To the full list of POL types, or at least to factor in print vs electronic.OR, alter the option to roll a single POL over to instead let you roll over the POLs in a public set.

Please allow adding multiple sequences with numeric prefix.
Now only one sequence with numeric prefix is allowed; if I want to add multiple sequences with numeric prefix, I have to add a random alphabetic prefix and then remove it. Please allow adding multiple sequences with numeric prefix.

Apply Reporting Code from Encumbrance to Disencumbrance
In a disencumbrance transaction, Alma does not apply the reporting code assigned to an encumbrance to the disencumbrance. Because we use the reporting codes as a part of funds allocation, this practice causes the disencumbrance to be ignored thus overreporting the encumbrance for the reporting code. Please apply the reporting code of the encumbrance being disencumbered to the transaction of the disencumbrance.

Add option to use hyperlink in license terms
Add functionality to license terms displayed in Primo under "Show License" to include a hyperlink, or clickable link. It would be helpful to be able to include a URL in the list of license terms, that patrons are able to click. Our institution uses an external tool to help determine terms of use and would like to direct patrons to the tool using a link in the License Terms.

Shopping cart color change depending or open or closed orders.
Currently the shopping cart, indicating order/s, is green. It would be helpful if all the orders were cancelled or closed if the cart were another color, say red. If the order or even 1 order of may are active then the green cart.

Configure issues to appear in chronological order rather than alphabetical order for recieving
For titles (especially newspapers but some others) that don't have a volume number, ALMA lists them in alphabetical rather than chronological order when receiving new issues. This is highly inconvenient as well as illogical. It means clicking through page after page of issues for newspapers, which are predicted a year out. Surely there must be some way to arrange them chronologically? If not, then it would be helpful if ALMA could show more than twenty results per page.

Vendor Contacts (Contact People tab) should not be internal contacts in Alma
When you enter Vendor Contact Details in Alma (Contact People tab) the internal contact form is used and the vendor contacts are stored as internal contacts. This form is inappropriate for Vendor Information. It asks for non-applicable fields such as gender and birth date and there is nowhere to add important information such as the contact's name, title and company they are associated with, work phone number, cell number, fax number, etc

Let Persistent Search Box stay sticky to All Titles
We would like the ability to keep the All Titles Search option sticky after we choose to order something, when browsing the results of an All Titles Search. This is the default way we create new orders, so the change of the persistent box to default to PO Lines after creating an order is counter-productive.

Currently in Technical Services Until...
In Acquisitions: When we use the "Post-Receiving Processing" scan to "Set Status To" a particular technical services area, it would be fantastic if we had the ability to give each area a specific default number of days the item will be in that area. For example: we're setting an item's status to be pam-bound in-house and when we scan that item's barcode to set its status to Pam Binding, the Alma system would automatically give it a certain number of days to be there. Alternatively, when we set a status for sending another item to our out-of-town bindery, the default…

manual orders: adding the possibility of selecting/deselecting the POLs for an invoice
a. an invoice arrives:
b. as very often is the case, it is referred to only a few POLs of a big PO (a PO containing a lot of POLs)
c. we use the function “create invoice” with parameter "invoice from PO";
d. all the POLs are automatically assigned to the invoice, then you have to choose the relevant ones, and that’s OK.
In order to choose POLs, it should be necessary to have the possibility of selecting/deselecting the POLs with a check: now it is not possible, and you have to cancel the POLs one by one: this…8 votesHello All,
