Allow the existing configuration of the user form to apply also on the "Vendors > Contact People tab > Add Contact" page
This idea was opened by Ex Libris to see how the community supports it.
There is an existing configuration for the user form which was added in August 2022: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2022/Alma_2022_Release_Notes#Configure_the_User_Form
Please have this configuration apply also when creating a new vendor "Contact" (Vendors > Contact People tab > Add Contact).
For example, if an institution selected that some fields should not appear in the user creation form, these field should also not appear in the vendor contact creation form.

Harvest and add Unique item requests to analytics IR_M1 usage reports
The IR_M1 usage reports come with the metrics: Unique item requests and Total item requests. Currently, Alma only harvests Total item requests, and leave out Unique item requests. So, in Alma analytics, we cannot retrieve the unique item requests statistics, which is more important than Total item requests.

From 'view vendor' list in POL, add '+' capability to Add Vendor?
Right now one has to either search vendor before order entry, or gamble that the vendor is already in the database and just try entering the POL. But then, if the vendor is NOT in the database, one has to back all the way out, add the vendor, and then start over.
It would be great to have an 'add vendor record' link right there, with a 'back' button to finish the POL in progress, That would really minimize workflow interruptions during the POL entry process. Might others find this helpful? If you hate stopping, navving somewhere else in…

Post collection ID in the CKB update.
In the CKB update, sometimes we found statements like collection ABC is replaced by collection ABC, or with a similar name. Since some CZ collections share the same name or similar name with one another, please add collection ID next to the collections/Databases that are to be removed in the coming weeks. Collection ID is an identifier that would help people to identify the exact collection.

Borrowing requests: comment (from Primo) should not be transferred to request note field but to the Note field
The content of the comment (from Primo) was transferred to the "Request Note" field (=Request Attributes).
We didn't want that to happen.
The content should go into the "Note" field (=Resource Information).0 votes
