Differentiate Success & Warning colors in MDE
It would be nice to be able to configure the colors within the Metadata Editor, specially when it comes to the success, warning and error messages. The warning messages seem to have the same color as the success messages that makes less obvious if they are very valid warning messages to look at.

Pop-ups for invoice alerts
We noticed, that certain invoice alerts won’t pop up upon saving the invoices. This way, quite relevant alerts, such as “Invoice contains vendor account which differs from one or more linked PO lines” or “Invoice using different vendor than poline POL-***” will be unnoticed.
We would find it very helpful, if these alerts would pop-up upon saving the invoices.

API versioning (especially user API)
API updates should be rolled out with an opt-in and out option. So that developers can test and adopt new versions and roll back if problems occur. Currently we just get a new version and if this new version breaks any of our custom integrations. We have no way to compare to old behaviour or opt out of the update until we can fix this.
Example of this is the November API changes. The change broke how some of our APIs customizations worked. Our ICT developer team had to make changes to resolve the problems that the November API change…1 vote -

Add Storage Location ID to the list of customized fields on the Manage Item Returns screen
We have thousands of items in our collection that are primarily organized by the storage location ID, rather than call or accession number. For these materials, routing and reshelving activities would be more efficient if staff have the option to add the Storage Location ID to the list of customizable fields on the Manage Item Returns screen.

Ability to edit request priorities
We would like the ability to edit, i.e. rename or translate, the names of the request priorities in the Manual priority drop-down menu in the request queue. It is not entirely obvious which to choose, and we would like to be able to eg. number them from 1. to 8. It was suggested to us by Ex Libris support that we promote this question through Idea Exchange.

Expand Course Reserves Facet/Advanced Search Functionality
When working in Reading Lists and Courses the facet filtering limits staff to a single selection in a category at time. However, many institutions have multiple terms or staff liaisons serving more than one academic department. In such cases, it would be quite helpful to allow staff to select multiple facets. The inability to multi-select prevents staff and their managers from being able view the whole picture and effectively managing the work.
If that’s not possible, we’d like to request that you expand the advanced search options for reading lists, courses, and citations to make all of the facet options…

Add primary/user id of a Interested User as a Fund Expenditure Facet
Several Institutions have use cases that require the need to find the Primary ID of an interested User. This would allow an easier means of utilizing feeder reports in conjunction with the Fulfilment Subject Area. Currently, there is no easy way to obtain this information. Credit goes to Jihyun Song of Soul National Unversity for presenting this issue.

Trial Feedback in POLine
Currently Trials are created from the POLine but once a trial is evaluated and closed only a single note appears in the POLine saying "Decision to purchase at this time" if approved.
It would be helpful if a trial information could be added to the POLine either as a Tab that includes the Summary and Analysis of the trial or as a Link on the Side Bar the same as the PO

Add Lived Places Publishing ebook collection to Community Zone
We have recently purchased the ebook frontlist from a new publisher, Lived Places Publishing. So that we can quickly provide access to these books, we want them to be loaded into Alma's Community Zone.
