How can we improve Alma?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Set input focus when using persistent menu

    Similar to the previous enhancement suggestion "Set input focus for 'Quick Search' box" when a user navigates using the persistent menu to move to a new area of alma the search box should already be set to input focus.

    For example, if a user goes to Alma -> Receiving and Invoicing -> Reviews -> The "Find" search box should have the input focus so the user can start searching.

    This is more efficient and a better user experience. It is much less clicking.

  2. Set input focus for "Quick Search" box

    Please set the input focus for the "Quick Search" box under these two criteria:

    1) When logging into Alma
    2) When changing the search criteria

    When a user logs in they should be able to type immediately into the Quick Search box and get a result.

    When a user changes the format they want to search (Titles, Collections, Authorities, Vendors, etc). They should be able to click on what they want and start typing.

    In both of these scenarios by moving the mouse (especially #2) the user experience is inefficient.

  4. Allow creation of shortcuts to Alma menu items on personal dashboards

    Allow creation of shortcuts to Alma menu items on personal dashboards.

    For example our fulfillment desks would like a shortcut to manage patron services and return items to remove the need to select from the Alma menu - quicker workflow.

    I'm sure there are other examples.

  5. Release Notes and Known Issues

    Please consider publishing known issues and release notes for service pack deployments before the day of deployment. Nothing infuriates a customer more than becoming aware of an issue through a mere reference in another customer's outstanding Salesforce case.

    Good customer service isn't just reporting what has been fixed, but rather includes reporting the issues that need to be addressed.

  6. Add sorting option to course reserve when editing a list

    This enhancement request was lost from the Alma roadmap for over 2 years (supposed to be in the May 2013 release), but we'd like to be able to sort the contents of reading lists by common fields like title, call number, author etc.
