Increase viewable character count when looking at tables of invoice or PO lines
Alma unnecessarily truncates fields and wastes monitor space in the Purchase Order Line Details > Invoice Tab. See in my attachment that both the invoice number field and the Note (piece identifier) field are cut off. At the very least, the entire invoice number should be visible. I understand not all monitors are the same width, but we should be able to see more of this important information. Please fix this.

More Configuration for Work Order Type Statuses
There is currently limited functionality for configuring Work Order Type Statuses. It would be helpful to be able to do more than just Add and Remove statuses. Being able to edit/rename, rearrange the order, and set a default would be useful.

Item search in amazon. Can we add the webpage of our local vendor?
When we order books, we have to fill in the data in metadataeditor. Could we be able to search the homepage of our local supplier?

Pause function in PDA module needs to deactive e-portfolio not suppress bib record
The PDA (patron driven acquisition) module doesn't work as well as it could - for example reporting limitations and the inability to link to an existing electronic collection but the big problem for us is the Pause function. Currently when you Pause a PDA list the bib record is suppressed which can lead to resources available in print or in other electronic collections to be hidden. Can the Pause function deactivate the electronic portfolio instead?

Revert record view back to more "centered" view - "left-shifted" view hard to read
Monday Feb. 6th, 2017 : new release - has "left-shifted" the record view in the bibliographic and holdings records (this is making viewing more difficult) - can we go back to the more "centered" view that was there previous to this latest update?

Add Call Number to EDI fulfilment shelf-ready order response
The EDI fulfilment functionality (shelf ready order responses) in Alma does not handle Call Number (classmark). Suppliers are sending call number information in standard GIR segments LCL and LFS in the EDI file, so Alma should be able to import these and populate the order record automatically in the same way as Barcode. This is a key requirement in our opinion because without it, manual intervention is still required for every order.

Electronic Collection Type - One Time
Here the scenario. I use a B3Kat package title record per profile "Titelübernahme aus dem B3Kat". Then I create via MD editor a PO line for "Electronic Collection - One Time". The field "Electronic Collection type" include the value "Database". We would like to configure the standard value for new records.

Change the parameters in "Item Search in Amazon"
Change the parameters in "Item Search in Amazon" to include media (specifically DVD's and music CD's) and/or an "all" option so that all materials can be processed through this one workflow instead of just books or magazines.

Add fund rules fields to Tools>Excel export in Funds and Ledgers search results screen
Support have confirmed that it's not possible for an Alma user to access reporting on the fund rules fields e.g. over expenditure allowed, over-expenditure limit etc.
They suggest the quickest way to achieve this would be to add these fields as columns to the Tools>Excel export function in the fund and ledger search results screen.

Automated Invoicing for Amazon
Amazon is a common supplier of materials for many libraries and the current process of needing to manually enter invoices in Alma is very slow and tedious. I don't believe Amazon supports EDI, but they do provide invoice/order information in CSV format. It would be really great to have the ability to automate or batch load Amazon invoices.

There isn't a possibility to configure the display of a journal's 'Description'. It is possible to edit templates in MD editor to configure which subfields will be displayed, however the display order of these fields is NOT configurable.

Filter Acquisitions POL sets by fiscal period
Manage Sets is useful for quick lists of orderlines but it's not possible to filter by fiscal period. This results in large sets which take a long time to display and then need to be filtered offline in Excel.
Adding a new filter of fiscal period in Acquisitions Manage Sets could help reduce the load on Alma and produce more relevant sets.

Add previous price information to Column options
Already some time ago a new feature, to see previous invoices, was added in Acq in Alma. This is useful and even better if the previous prices were visible too (see screenshot). Is this something that Libis could configure for us?

Add other participants to trial after initial trial email is sent
There is only one opportunity to send out a "participate in trial' email. This means that although it is possible to add a participant to the trial, no email is sent out to this person if the initial trial email has been sent.
It would be great to have the option of sending an email to individual or all participants again.6 votesHello All,
