1. Variables in Subject of Letters

   It would be great if it would be possible to add variables (f.e. location) to the subject field of letters.

3. Overhaul Print Periodical Receiving.

   We’re receiving fewer print periodicals than ever and yet the process for receiving and claiming print periodicals is more cumbersome and time-consuming than ever. Alma automatically generates a number of expected issues based on frequency with expected receipt dates even though this doesn’t reflect the reality of print periodical receiving where the receipt date may vary and issues are sometimes combined, which requires extra adjustments. If a subscription stops for some reason after expected issues have already been generated it’s necessary to remove the expected issues. Or, in the case of a publication delay, the dates for all expected issues need to be adjusted. Again this doesn’t reflect the reality of print periodical receiving.
   Our first ILS was NOTIS which, in spite of limitations in other areas, was superior for print periodical receiving because of its elegant simplicity. There was a Receipt Line that was a free-text field. When a new issue came in all a user had to do was update the number. For instance it might look like this:
   v.27 no.1 (2021: Spring)-v.27 no.2 (2021: Summer)
   On receipt of v.27 no.3 the line would be updated:
   v.27 no.1 (2021: Spring)-v.27 no.2 (2021: Fall)
   Next to the Receipt Line was an “Activation Date”. This date would be automatically updated each time the line was modified, although it could also be manually changed. If the activation date passed a claim would be generated. It would say, “The last issue we received was…” and the date. Activation Dates were based on frequency: fourteen days for weekly titles, thirty for monthly and quarterly, sixty days for annuals, and so on.
   If an issue was received out of sequence a new receipt line would be added and the activation date on the previous line would be updated to send out a claim the next day, although we now do most print issue claiming directly through our vendor’s database (we use Ebsco for most print subscriptions), so this could be done at the same time.
   Receipt Lines also displayed to the public so library users would have a clear, concise view of what they could expect to find on the shelves, which is still important for print periodicals.
   There was also an option to add Note Lines with information such as when a specific issue had been claimed and what reply, if any, had been received.
   While I'm not suggesting copying NOTIS (among other things there may be proprietary issues) something similar could be a great improvement. It would save time and require less training and specialized knowledge.
   I realize a great deal of work has been put into the current design. I also realize predictive systems are standard, not just for Alma but for most if not all currently available library management programs, but they’re still a bad idea. Ex Libris could take the lead in adopting something similar and better.

4. Include affected barcodes or MMS IDs in Alma job reports

   This is a suggestion to include affected barcodes or MMS IDs in Alma job reports, e.g. the Change holding information job. This is helpful for us to study what has happened, or to undo the commands. Currently there is not a way to retrieve affected barcodes in Alma or Analytics. There is a situation that the change holding information has affected the sister item records which are not included in the physical item set to run this job with. (In other words, when we first created the physical item set to run the Change holding information job, we did not intend to bring in the updates to those sister item records which are under the same holdings record.) So, we want to know at least which of these item records are affected so as to reverse the commands. Please refer to Salesforce case # 913968 for details.

5. Import jobs with many serial issues crash

   Publishing profiles at the bib level will include all items (in an ITM field with the data specified in the inventory enrichment section of the publishing profile). When trying to import these published files, if bibs for a serial have more than 50-100 items, the import job crashes with the error code like: "Import Job 3833572600004617 External system 3833573620004617 File HUscfmissingbarcode...Split file error error parsing leader with data: 14519cas a2210880 a 450"

   The only current solution is to manually edit these files with an XML editor to properly split the files.

6. Enhancement request for New MDE > Editing Actions > Expand from Template

   Request for customizing the sorting and enable/disable the template options in the Choose Template dropdown list
   The current sorting is starting from public ones followed by private ones, in alphanumeric order respectively.
   We hope for being able to toggle enable/disable and customize the ordering of the template options

   For achieving the above feature, refer to New MDE > New > Templates display configuration
   A similar toggle button for each template, similar to the Display in Menu toggle button here, is desired.
   And allowing manually sorting the order of the templates would be appreciated as well.

8. When saving stay on same page and all tabs to be available to edit from start

   Currently when a barcode is inserted in a item record (or a URL in an electronic portfolio e.g. for an ebook), it saves automatically and leaves the page immediately, but we may still want to add further information, so it would be preferable for this not to happen.

   Also, the items notes and statistical fields do not exist as another tab and therefore cannot be added to until the first page of the item record is completed and saved. All tabs should be available to be filled in from the very beginning.
