Replace copyright statement for digital representations
The copyright statement should display at the front of the digital representation for the patron before they download the contents. The copyright statement is not visible unless the patron clicks on the Copyright Symbol on top right corner of the page of the digital representation. To make the copyright statements meaningful, it should appear before the representation.

The May 2017 Release includes a new option to configure the Alma Viewer to display the copyrights page of a digital image by default before the image is displayed.

Hi Stefan,
UNSW submitted NERS enhancement request for the copyright statement to be configurable as obstrusive display or non-obstrusive display. Our need is to display the copyright statement before the digital objects (obstrusive display), but we believe that to some customers the copyright doesn't have to be display before the digital object (non-obstrusive display). Therefore there should be a configuration in Alma to configure how to display the copyright statement rather than a fix solution.
The NERS enhancement request detail is as follow:
NERS ID: 4851
Date submitted: 21/3/2016
Title: :"Alma: Fulfillment: Provide ability to configure obtrusive / non-obtrusive copyright information display in Alma digital viewer."Description:
Currently, copyright information is accessible from the Alma viewer by clicking the copyright icon. Ex Libris introduced this non-obtrusive copyright-info display option to meet Customer needs for permissive licenses like Creative Commons or Public Domain (NERS DigiTool Request ID: 96). Can presentation of copyright information be configured to enable Customers to choose either non-obtrusive or obtrusive display, with current non-obtrusive behaviour as the default? This is important for institutions that want copyright warnings to be obvious to users.Regards,
Ichsan
