Allow comparison with specific collection(s) with uploaded files in Collection overlap analysis –
When we upload a collection title list with coverage for collection overlap analysis, Alma doesn’t allow us to select a specific collection to compare with. It only allows us to compare with the entire IZ, which is not always the goal. If we can select specific collections to compare with when we use Alma collections, it should not be too difficult to do the same comparison when using an uploaded title file.

Dear Pauline Liu,
the text (AENH-I-36732) is as follows:
"Collection Development tool needs to allow location-based comparisons as well
The Collection Development Tool unfortunately does not yet allow comparisons within a single Alma library. While subsets (e.g., holdings from one location) can be passed via list, set, or special definition in a project, no other complementary location belonging to the same Alma library can be used on the comparison side. Only comparisons with complete inventory from one or more other libraries within the same IZ are allowed.
Location-based comparison should generally be permitted within the same library as a project definition option, set or file as well as for comparison quantities. On comparison side it would be useful, to be allowed to integrate an Alma set, to import a file or to define the parameters of data to take into comparison. At the moment, comparison is library based and those data identified as present in the same library is taken off the comparisons. Our locations are quite large ones (masses of items), and there is a need to compare inventory from location A with inventory from location B (same library)."
Perhaps Your idea concerns electronic material. The above described requirement concern physical inventory.
Have a nice day!

Dear Pauline Liu, does Your proposal refer on similar suggestions described here? https://enhancements.exlibrisusers.org/ideas/AENH-I-36732
Should we probably put our wishes into bundles, that offer the chance to be supported by practitioner groups when it comes to votings?
