1. Add more options for ILL integration

   Adding ILLiad integration to Alma was welcome but also brings more issues into the system. For example - patrons are shown in their account via Primo that ILL loaned items are not renewable. They are but not via Alma. A customizable message for the Resources sharing library that would display in "My Account" saying "Renewable via ILLiad" would be welcome. We have configured ILLiad to send courtesy notices. Now that we have integrated with Alma patrons get two courtesy and "due today" letters because Alma cannot turn off letters for specific locations. The ability to turn off those two letter for specific locations would be welcome.

2. Enhance Advanced Search to allow regular expressions

   Allow the matching of regular expressions as one of the criteria to perform an advanced search. This would be a much more powerful and precise method for gathering sets.

3. Configure Alma Letters to use the operator's "from" address, rather than the value stored in "addressFrom"

   This is in reference to case 00172604. It was suggested we post this here by Yaala Ariel-Joel.

   1. Go to Alma Menu -> General Configuration -> Letter Emails
   2. Select, for example, the General Assign To Letter
   3. We have configured the "addressFrom" field in this and several other letters to be the email address of one of our library departments

   For some letters, however, we find that it would make more sense for the FROM address to use the email address of the individual Alma operator whose action generated the letter, rather than using the single email address that is stored in "addressFrom".

   For example, different Alma operators who work in different departments perform functions that initiate the General Assign To Letter. So, having a single department's email address used as the FROM address doesn't make sense in all cases and can be misleading.

   As of now, this isn't in development, but Yaala said this group might want to know about it. I have also added a screenshot of what I mean.

4. Ability to suppress licenses from discovery

   Sometimes, licenses have confidentiality clauses, so we can't show them in Primo, but right now, it is an all or nothing prospect. it would be great if a checkbox on the record could suppress a confidential license from showing up in Discovery.

5. Enable batch updating portfolios to update PO line field

   Please add a column for PO line to the excel file for batch load updating portfolios. Below are specific examples from the Alma listserv of other institutions describing use cases for why this would be helpful.

   Thanks,
   Terra

   Use cases from ALMA listserv:

   Eleanor Craig, e.m.craig@sussex.ac.uk
   Sent: Wednesday, 23 September 2015 4:35 PM
   To: ALMA-L@LISTSERV.ND.EDU
   Subject: [ALMA-L] Individual journal subscriptions associated to Electronic Collections

   "We have a subscription to the Sage Premier 2015 package. Each of the core titles (portfolios) in the package have the collection Sage Premier 2015 and this is what the purchase order for each of them has been attached to (so we can pay against each core title). Is it possible to move all the purchase order lines attached to Sage Premier 2015 over to Sage Premier 2016? So without having to cancel and then recreate the large number of purchase order lines every year?"

   Erin Bell, Librarian (UWA)
   "Alma does not allow the automatic moving of purchase orders however, it can only be done manually, one-by-one. I looked at this from many different angles and consulted ExLibris, and there’s no way to do it."

   Sita Austin (sita.austin@flinders.edu.au)
   Electronic Resources Librarian, Flinders University of South Australia
   "Moving order records is time consuming and it would be great if there was a way to do it in a batch."

7. Access SalesForce from directly within Alma

   There should be the ability to get directly to ExLibris support (SalesForce) from within Alma vs. going through the customer center.

8. Include Fulfillment Notes when Shipping items in Resource Sharing

   It would be nice if pop-up fulfillment notes on an item record were attached to a resource sharing request when an item is shipped, much like the barcode currently does. So if a damaged book has a note saying "Underlining noted," that note would attach to the request record so that the borrowing institution could see it. This would make it easier for the people processing on either end to know whether an item shipped with damage, or a set shipped with a certain amount of items, etc.

9. Ability to link to single interface records from vendor record

   At the moment, when you link to an interface from a vendor record in Alma the interface record cannot be linked to one that has already been set up. For example, if you have Vendor A and link it to Interface X you cannot also link Vendor B to Interface X. You are also unable to have two interfaces with the same name. This is required in situations where we have multiple vendors for the one interface. For example, SAGE journals are acquired directly through SAGE but the ebooks are acquired through iGroup. In this case we would like to link the SAGE interface to both vendors SAGE and iGroup. That way we only need to update the one interface record for SAGE.

10. need more search criteria in acq such as operator id or create/update date

    It would be useful to have some additional search criteria, such as operator id, and facets, such as a last update date range and status, available to monitor staff productivity. Not just in purchasing but in all areas of acquisitions the site reports the need for functionality that will allow a combination of attributes of the records to generate results. For example, an operator should be able to search using their user name, some category of task (po lines in review, invoice lines in review, invoices pending approval, etc.) and a date or date range, or status (sent/ waiting auto packaging, etc.). Typically operators are expected, as a point of quality and workflow management to "self-police" and answer questions such as: what is the status of the invoices/invoice lines I handled today? have all the purchase order lines I worked on today been resolved? Etc.

11. The default receiving status in manage items of receiving workbench is all and it should be not received or should be configurable

    As part of the new prediction pattern development it is possible in the receiving workbench to receive new items and filter the 'manage items' section by "all" "received" or "not received".
    Currently it defaults to "all" which is not what would be desired because
    A. it would show too much
    B. they would need to manually search for what they want to receive.

    It should default to "not received" because then they can choose the issue they have in hand and receive it. Another option would be to have it always remember the previous filter of the user and use that. But if that is the case it would need to be the previous choice of the user even in a previous session. It should not just remember the current session.
