Please enhance moving titles/collections function
Please enhance moving titles/collections function. Now I can move only a set of titles from collection A to B by Add bib to collection job, and it means I need to create hundreds sets and run the job hundreds times. Also moving collection has to be done one by one. I have done this so far but it's just too tedious and time-consuming.
For digital titles and collections Primo Collection Lobby is the book stack and they need to be rearranged sometimes. (Even on PC we often re-organize folders too!) However on Alma it's so hard to reorganize titles and collections.
This one-by-one, from-where-to-where method is not efficient enough. It would be far more convenient for users if they can upload a list that specifies title PID/MMS, original collection PID, target collection PID and run a job. For collections the list specifying the collection Pid, current parent collection Pid, future parent collection Pid might work. It's just my wild, initial idea and I believe there would be more flexible and charming ways can be provided out of the box.

Alma Digital roadmap includes redesign of the collection tree management in Alma and will provide a tree view with quick and easy actions for moving collections or titles between collections.

I'm adding an example for this idea. Please develop better methods.
(As Is)
1) Create a Set of:
Title a in A Collection
Title b in A Collection
Title c in A Collection2) Run Add Titles to Collection job: to B Collection
(Check or uncheck Unassign from existing collection(s))3) The result:
Title a in B Collection
Title b in B Collection
Title c in B Collection(To be - just an example)
1) Create a Set of:
Title a in A Collection
Title b in B Collection
Title c in C Collection2) Run a job which allows the user set the ‘As Is – To be’ Collection pair for the each of titles. (I don't have any good idea on how to set it... maybe uploading an excel file?)
Title a in A Collection to D Collection
Title b in B Collection to E Collection
Title c in C Collection to F Collection
(Check or uncheck Unassign from existing collection(s))3) The result:
Title a in D Collection
Title b in E Collection
Title c in F Collection
