Rename Review and Approve functions in Acquisitons menu of new Alma Layout
The Acquisitions Menu has some items with exactly the same name in the different sub-menus. When these show as Quick Links, it is impossible to tell which general function it will work with,
Please rename Review and Approve to
Review POL (or Purchase Order Line)
Review PO (or Purchase Order)
Review Invoice
Approve PO (or Purchase Order)
Approve Invoice
Alma – Acquisitions menu link names were modified in order to assist users using these links in as part of the ‘Quick Links’ menu.

I haven't done a complete review, but my quick links now have modifiers. I have asked ExLibris to mark this as implemented so that we can all get our votes back.

Honestly I am not willing to waste Idea Votes meant for enhancements for obvious bug fixing. Making labels unambiguous is a bug fix, not an enhancement request. I mean it is quite obvious after having seen the screenshot in François' e-mail to ALMA-L where the quick links look like this:
"Review Review Review Approve Approve"Doesn't look like an enhancement to me.

This happens on the Config side too. For example, "opening hours" is bookmarked for whatever library you're in when you star it, but there's no indication for the library on the quick links bar. And once you've clicked through, you can't change to a different library from within the calendar screen. You have to change the library and then click on "opening hours" again from the left menu. It's very frustrating.

I guess I should share the complete reply that I received:
Hi Barbara,
Thank you for your suggestion. I submitted this request to Development.
Since this is a renaming of current menus, it might require voting from other customers, please also add to the Ideas exchange.
I changed the status of this case to Pending Development. -

What I was told was "Since this is a renaming of current menus, it might require voting from other customers." I hope that "might" means that they might decide quickly to fix this. It doesn't hurt to have input from more than one person since we all have slightly different menus based on permissions.
I want to add to my original list Import, which are on different menus.
Import (Acquisitions)
Import (Resources)
Monitor and View Imports (Acq)

Has this really be labelled an 'enhancement' by Ex Libris?
Surely this is just basic usability, which should be standard. -
Peta Hopkins commented
No votes left, but I support improvements that make the quick links more useful.

Agreed; this makes it hard to tell what's what.

Alternatively, customers should be able to rename themselves the default Quick Links labels.
