1. Allow copy of BURSAR file to be exported to email

   Bursar files are currently just exported to S/FTPs. It would be good if there was an option to have the files also exported to an email as a way to backup and save these files in the event they file is accidentally lost or runs into errors upon trying to upload.

   Users who manage different aspects of the billing process may not all have access to the SFTP drop in order to troubleshoot issues.

2. Alma Users API Web Service Result - Reference User Role Description instead of Number

   When updating a User via the API, if there is an issue with a User Role Parameter, the Web Service Result contains an error message like the following:
   | errorMessage: Mandatory field is missing: user_role parameters [ServiceUnit] for role number 37

   Would it be possible to reconfigure the error message template to return a message like this?
   | errorMessage: Mandatory field is missing: user_role parameters [ServiceUnit] for role [Receiving Operator]

   This would save time in looking up the description in code table HFrUserRoles.roleType.

3. API UPDATE Single Tag in the record (PATCH)

   Currently if I want to update a Bibliographic record I have to use a "PUT" command, but using this replace all tag in the record. So you have to pay attention if you don't put a tag this will be lost.
   So we would like to have the possibility to update only one tag in the bibliographic record for example using another command, in Rest API usually is used a PATCH command that allow to change a single element of the resource. So I ask to implement a real UPDATE command (PATCH for example) so we could change single or multiple tags of the record without the need to put all tags on the request.

4. Make Mapping Tables Available Via API

   It would be very helpful to have Alma mapping tables available through the API, similar to how code tables are available.

   Many code tables are mostly useless without their associated mapping tables, making their API exposure pointless. For example, the UserStatCategories and UserStatisticalTypes code tables need the Statistical Categories/Types mapping table to be of any use (unless you are using a single category).

   Making mapping tables API-accessible would go a long way towards making Alma more developer-friendly.

5. Allow patron load integration using v2 to implement override so internal elements are preserved

   Under General Administration when setting up a user record integration using v2 of the user.xsd, there appears to be some missing functionality to bring it in line with the REST user APIs.

   The suggestion is to add additional options to the synchronize method so that under Synchronization type where it currently only has 'Swap All' as the only radio button, you could toggle between this and 'Override' as per the User APIs. This would allow internal notes and other internal attributes to be preserved.

   It might also be useful to add the list of fields via selection that the Override option would apply to.

6. API - Fines & Fees Function - Single Email Receipt with Line-Item Summarization for Partial-Payments

   Howdy,

   Our organization has given our patrons the ability to submit bulk (line-item) full/partial-payments on individual fines & fees.

   When processing these transactions, we must send individual line-item transactions to the API which results in individual payment-receipt emails being sent to the patron.

   /almaws/v1/users/{userid}/fees/{feeid}

   Conversely, the API’s pay-all function sends out a single payment-receipt email with a summary of the fully-paid line-items.

   /almaws/v1/users/{user_id}/fees/all

   We would like a function which can transact an array of line-item payments and generate a single payment-receipt email like that of the /fees/all function.

   Something like:

   /almaws/v1/users/{user_id}/fees/partial

   Parameter:
   fees (array) [{fee_id, amount}…]

   Thank you,
   -Fitz

8. API for Alma requests

   As it is possible in Alma to convert an Alma request into a Alma Resource Sharing Request (a good workflow), we would like to explore creating a form for users to submit Alma requests outside of Primo and for these to be created in Alma through an Alma requests API.

   Please could an Alma Requests API be created to enable this.

   If a submitted request was not in stock, we would then convert it to an Alma Resource Sharing request (a good workflow).

9. Granular permissions for Alma API functions

   (The idea title is copied from a NERS suggestion (5311) that didn't make it to the second round.)

   When working with third parties it is problematic that granting access to the Alma API for the necessary functionality will often also open up for access to other information that we might not want to share with the same third party.

   An example is that allowing a vendor to create PO Lines via the API will also give the vendor access to the complete financial data of our institution, potentially giving them insights that could be used against us when negotiating prices.

   A different example is the one from the NERS suggestion:

   For example, we would like developers to be able to GET Resource Sharing requests without being able to GET all User records

   In the light of the upcoming new EU data protection directive that will apply from 2018-05-25, the lack of granular permissions can prevent us from allowing third parties access to any API section that contains any personal data (including not only user records but also operator ids or vendor contacts):

10. Make it possible for patron to automaticaly renew his library card

    Our scenario: User must have a library card in his possession in order to borrow material from that library.The library cards are vaild for one year at a time and thus need to be renewed every year against a small fee.
    Suggested improvement: make it possible for a patron to renew a library card and paying the associated fee on-line.

    Value Payment Type
    00 cash
    01 VISA (this is not even relevant anymore)
    02 credit card

    Other LMS systems are able to configure extensions to the payment type using the 03 up to 99 to link payment types that are used in their LMS.

    In particular, the Portfolio "Internal Description" field is not supported by the API call. We strongly recommend to add back this field for the API call.

13. SRU (Search/Retrieve via URL) for item records

    Currently, SRU can be used to retrieve Alma bibliographic and holdings record data. In the documentation below, there are "bibliographic options" and "holdings options".

    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/090Integrations_with_External_Systems/030Resource_Management/190SRU_SRW_Search

    Our institution needs data from Alma on the item record level. Use case: we'd like to use SRU to count the number of items with the same item call number.

    Currently if we use the "marcxml" record schema, the <numberOfRecords> returns the total number of bibliographic records. The "isohold" schema returns the number of holdings records.

    Neither schema returns the total number of item records with the same item number (especially in situations where 2 or more item records are linked to the same holdings record and/or same bib record) because both schemas are counting records at the bib or holdings level.

    Thank you.

14. WebHooks for Orderlines

    We would like to have WebHooks, that are triggered by acquisition events.

    For example sending of POs shall trigger a Web Hook (similar to a finished job) to start subsequent processes via the Alma-API. In principle, we could also use the packaging job, however, if orders are sent directly, this does not work.

    Use case: Extrenal setting of call numbers, inventory counters, setting of item properties within multiple item orders.

17. More user statistics

    Hi,

    currently the user object (https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/apis/xsd/rest_user.xsd?tags=GET) contains information regarding the total number of requests and loans as well as the total sum of fines & fees.

    It would be great to have more of these - maybe even outsourced to an own resource e.g. /almaws/v1/users/{user_id}/statistics

    Possible candidates could be:

    (1) Total loans broken down by status (e.g. renewable, not renewable, overdue)
    (2) Total loans due in n days (preferably with n configurable)
    (3) Total requests broken down by type
    (4) Total requests broken down by status and by type
    (5) Total sum of fines and fees broken down by type

    The idea behind this is for application developers to be able to create a dashboard-like overview that displays the user's status quo in a brief and transparent manner.

    Regards, Matthias

18. Rapid ILL

    Add License option for "Authorized Users" for Electronic Title sets. Currently, there is no way to completely automate the Rapid ILL integration because you cannot exclude collections that we are not able to lend out.

19. Provide sort order information for AVE (portfolio) fields in BIBs API

    When there are multiple portfolios from the same e-collection associated with the same bib record, the Alma Link Resolver (and Primo) displays them in the same order that they appear in Alma. When AVE (portfolio) information is retrieved using "expand=e_avail" in the BIBs API’s Retrieve Bib or Retrieve Bibs service, the AVE fields are returned in no particular order. AVE fields returned for a particular bib record should include an element giving the sort order of the portfolio within that e-collection, as it appears in Alma. This would allow custom discovery interfaces to display Online Access links in the order the library already specified in Alma, as is done in the Alma Link Resolver and Primo.

20. Integration through AWS Simple Storage

    Our consortium currently maintains an SFTP server exclusively for transfering files from our student information system to Alma. The server must be maintained and monitored at a cost to us.

    I would like to be able to configure Alma to retrieve the files from Amazon Simple Storage Service (AWS S3). File transfer would be over secure HTTPS and would cost us only a few pennies annually. Implementing this would allow us to retire the dedicated server and simplify our internal IT dependencies.
