Give us back the old menus from last month!
That was a very abrupt break. I am not an advanced Alma user by any standard, and this change has me somewhat floundering! We have a small staff consisting of 2.5 FTEs and two student work studies and this was not well-received. It would have been one thing to make the original menu bar hidden and easily retrieved, but to remove it altogether was a bad move. And I'm coming from the perspective of over 3 decades in software development and system administration/help desk.

We are working collaboratively with the Customers Alma UX Focus Group on the new layout. The new layout has many benefits and already 88% of the users are using it. Specific feedback on elements that can be improved is most welcome. If a bug is detected please open a case according to the regular support process. We will keep adjusting the menu behavior according to customers’ needs.

Before March 2021 you can switch back in the top right corner, where your 'head' icon is.
