Evaluation Workflow - Close trial, keep data
The existing Alma Evaluation Workflow does not allow us to CANCEL a POL for an unwanted item, it only allows us to DELETE the POL (and therefore lose the trial/evaluation data).
The Evaluation Workflow documentation (see step 7 in the link below) suggests that cancelling is an option distinct from deleting, but there is no cancel option in Alma.

It would be helpful to have an option that would close/cancel the evaluation process for items that are not acquired/purchased. This would allow for better record-keeping around trial results and better internal tracking of the rationale for not acquiring the resource.
