  1. Add "General Notes" at the collection, service, and portfolio levels to Analytics

    Please add the following note fields to Analytics:

    Electronic Collection:
    - General notes (multiple entries)
    Electronic Service:
    - General notes (multiple entries)
    Electronic Portfolio:
    - General notes (multiple entries)

    Why is this necessary?
    You can search for many fields in Alma itself, but not all of note fields can be exported from Alma. But this is particularly important for note fields!

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Note: this is a follow-up idea to:
    Add "General Notes" at the collection, service, and portfolio levels as indexable/searchable fields

  2. Issue with Embargoed Bibliographic Record Display in Primo

    Current situation:
    Despite configuring an embargo on a digital file, the bibliographic record continues to show up in Primo. In an effort to resolve the issue, we suppress the bib record, but even after the embargo has expired after two years, the record is not visible in Primo.

    Desired outcome:

    If an embargo is in place, it can affect whether the bibliographic record is suppressed or not. Alternatively, when the embargo period ends, the library may receive a notification to prompt staff to manually remove the suppressed status. The desired outcome is to ensure that the bibliographic record is either…

  3. Better management of serial prediction when publication frequency changes

    Sometimes providers change a journal’s publication frequency throughout the year. So, the prediction’s pattern selected / elaborated at the beginning of the year doesn’t work anymore in Alma. One part of predictions (date of receipt) will be ok until the change but all other predicted items will be false. Now, we can revise the prediction during the year but we must erase the items already received. We can also leave the prediction defined at the beginning of the year and edit manually the false items from the time of the prediction change.

    It would save a lot of time if…

  4. Show Pickup location in the tables "Requests" and "Loans" in Patron Services

    It would be helpful ig the information “Pickup location” could be added as a column in the tables “Requests” and “Loans” in the “Patron services” in order to see the destination chosen by the Patron. Furthermore, the "Pickup location" should be displayed in Primo in the patron’s account - also in the "Loans" not only in the "Requests".
