Sort option required for Vendor Account in Vendor Details > Invoice tab
When navigating to a Vendor record and clicking on the Invoice tab, it's immediately apparent that one can sort several columns in ascending/descending alphabetic or numeric order:
- Invoice
- Date
- Creation From
- Creation Date
- Last Updated Date
- # of Lines
- Total Price
The one column that seems to be missing the up/down arrows that would facilitate sorting is Vendor Account. Why is this?
We'd like to request that sorting is applied to this column as well. Staff find it odd to have to download all invoices into a spreadsheet and then sort according to this criterion, but not have to do…

Expand the menu for actions on records in the NZ repository search results to include "link" in addition to "edit" and "order"
Currently, in order to link to a record you have to click on the title for the full record and then click on the "link" button. Putting the option to 'link' to a record in the initial search results would save some maneuvering of the mouse and a click.

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…1 vote -
JavaScript in the Alma Resolver Menu (GetIt/ViewIt)
"Delivery system skins" enable customers to modify the Alma resolver menu using custom CSS and images, but it would be extremely useful if customers could also add custom JavaScript to the resolver menu.
In many cases, desired customizations require DOM manipulation that cannot be achieved with CSS alone. Moreover, many libraries rely on JavaScript-driven web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to track user engagement across various web properties.

User statistic description in Notification data of the letter
Notification data include the code for user statistics.
But the description is more useful rather than code for it.
So every letter which has user statistic notification data should include description of it.5 votes -
In Advanced search make a change on condition 'country of origin' "equals" and then a drop down list with countries
If you add the condition 'language' while making an Advanced Search you get "equals' and a dropdown list with languages. This is not the case if you search on 'country of origin'. We would like to have "equals" and a dropdown list with countries added to the conditions.

Change Alma so that holdings information in angle brackets < > displays in all views.
The only place that holdings information in angle brackets < > displays is in the edit function. Angle brackets are ANSI standard punctuation, and we have used them in many holdings records. This information does not display in index screens in Alma or Search It, thus making it difficult for users to accurately interpret our holdings. Please change Alma so that information in angle brackets < > displays in all views.

Customization of invoice line summary display
The notes field on the invoice lines summary display currently displays a tick if there is anything is written in the notes field of the invoice line. It would be more convenient if we could customize/configure what we can view so that we can see the content of the notes field without having to go in and view the individual invoice line.

Visual Indicators in sets
When you create an itemized set (as well as other sets), and then go to add additional members after saving, there isn’t a good way to know what you’ve already added while searching. It would be helpful to have a visual indicator that an item has been added to an itemized set while adding members.

Add text message notification option for patron overdue notices
Allowing patrons to request text message notifications for overdue items would better ensure that they receive the overdue reminder notices, increasing the likelihood of having the materials returned more quickly, and decreasing the number of bills and collection efforts. Text messages are received on a more timely basis, while emails are often checked infrequently and can be more easily missed. Asking patrons at check out what the best way to contact them regarding overdue items and being able to offer text message notices (at their request, since some people do not have unlimited texting on their mobile device plan) as…

Automatically Associate Certain Payment Methods (e.g., Credit, JV, Deposit) with Prepaid Functionality when Creating Invoices
We would like the ability to automatically associate certain Payment Methods (Credit Card, JV (Correction), Deposit Account, etc.) with Prepaid functionality when creating Invoices. 1) This would save time. 2) Most institutions do not want certain payment methods going to their ERP, but occasionally forget to check the Prepaid box. Setting this up systematically would serve as a fail-safe for such situations.

Add the Amount Paid in Current FP field to invoicing
Presently there is a field which displays in the PO Line Summary for continuous orders which details how much has been spent on that PO line in the current financial year - useful for items which are subscriptions but paid for individually, such as Law looseleaf subscriptions. If this field could appear when entering an invoice on the Invoice Line Details that would be a great help in deciding whether to disencumber these orders, particulary towards the end of the financial year.

Add percentage figures to the Fund Balance graph
When a fund is selected, the Fund Balance graph shows Expended, Encumbered and Allocated amounts. Can it be made possible to display those expended and encumbered amounts together with the percentage figure of each as a proportion of the allocation? It would also be great if we could see the number of items each at expended and encumbered status here.

Make the site compatable for minimizing the window.
When minimizing the window to half screen or less the words and links overlap and squish together instead of adjusting to screen wideness, ive never seen a website do this before and it gets really annoying when working on 2 windows pulled up side by side.
