  1. Add ability to prevent CDI content from appearing in Primo, by Alma Electronic Collection

    With CDI we have no control over preventing CDI content from appearing in our Primo filtered search, when we have full text holdings which matches to this content.
    In many cases this may be a good thing, in not needing to worry over making sure full text content is searchable.
    However, it is clear that there are collections in CDI with very poor data, which causes linking to fail, and also has content which we do not want at all such as Journals and Books, as we manage the title level by our Alma records.
    For example, CRL Catalog has…

    The local selection of individual data sources is not possible with the merged record and the single activation flow. We cannot change this in the foreseeable future. Content (including specific collection) related issues should be reported via the support channel.

  2. Allow inventory to be linked to multiple licenses

    We would like inventory to be linked to multiple licenses. Some resources are licensed with two entities...the content provider and the access provider. An example of this is APA. If we choose to have our APA content hosted by another provider (which is an option), we must have a license with both APA (content provider) and the access provider.

    Currently, we need to choose only one license to link the inventory to. Which one do we choose?

    Dear Community,

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    Per Alma module it is possible to link one license for a portfolio / collection. 

    Changing this module is complicated and raises questions such as what to display in discovery and more.

    We will not be doing this for now.


    Thanks,

  3. Alter the setting for the encumbrance and disencumbrance timestamps in Alma

    Alter the setting for the encumbrance and disencumbrance timestamps in Alma from the current procedure of tying the disencumberance to the encumbrance date plus one millisecond.

    We would much prefer the timestamp to reflect the actual date the transaction took place.

  4. Up/Down arrows in Culumn Headers

    I think it would be easier for us users to have up/down arrows in the column headers instead of having the drop-down menu with the header text to find and then pick either up or down.
