Request for Enhancement: ALMA Records Customization Functionality
Currently, the Records Customization feature in Alma only allows for configuring the visibility and order of fields, but does not support modifying the structure or composition of individual fields.
We would like to request an enhancement that enables institutions to customize the structure of each field according to their needs.
For example, the Creator and Imprint information are currently displayed as a single combined field. We would like these to be separated so that institutions can independently select and display only the elements they require.

I wholeheartedly agree with the proposed enhancement for the 'Records Customization' feature in Alma.
The current functionality, which only allows for the configuration of field visibility and order, is indeed a limitation. The ability to customize the internal structure of each field according to institutional needs would be a significant step forward, greatly enhancing the flexibility of data presentation.
The example of the 'Creator' and 'Imprint' information being combined into a single field is a perfect illustration of this issue. This often forces institutions to display unnecessary information. Separating them into individual elements that can be independently selected and displayed would allow for much more efficient operations, enabling each institution to align the display with its specific bibliographic policies.
I strongly believe this is a crucial enhancement that would significantly increase the utility of the Alma system. Thank you for making this excellent suggestion.
