  1. Include T&Cs in the Patron Deposit Status Update Letter

    Include the T&Cs that the patron agrees to in the XML for the deposit status update letter, and accommodate it in the stylesheet when the resource is submitted.

    They would then have a copy of what they agreed to.

    I understand we could customise the letter to include this, but I'm concerned that if the T&Cs change, then there is a risk that the letter is not updated at the same time.

  2. Allow digital collection items to be restricted by campus in Primo like electronic portfolios

    We would like to be able to limit the visibility of an item in a digital collection based on the the campuses we have set up in Alma in the same way that we can do with electronic Portfolios.

    If we set up a digital collection item that is a database for example, we would like to have it only display in Primo under digital items if the current view is aligned with the campus that is allowed to see and access that digital item.

    EG: We have a database "Cinahl" that we subscribe to for the RMH campus, but…

  3. Allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation form" in Alma

    Allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation form" in Alma. For instance, an article may contain two or more authors. If you allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation Form", library staff can input additional contributors to the article.

  4. Please enhance moving titles/collections function

    Please enhance moving titles/collections function. Now I can move only a set of titles from collection A to B by Add bib to collection job, and it means I need to create hundreds sets and run the job hundreds times. Also moving collection has to be done one by one. I have done this so far but it's just too tedious and time-consuming.

    For digital titles and collections Primo Collection Lobby is the book stack and they need to be rearranged sometimes. (Even on PC we often re-organize folders too!) However on Alma it's so hard to reorganize titles and…

  5. Alma Digital Viewer - Enable/Disable "New Alma Viewer" for representations

    Right now, you can only set rules for when a certain viewer (i.e. Alma Viewer and Universal Viewer) is displayed/not displayed. Specifically in our case, we have unchecked the "Use New Viewer" feature make things cleaner in our interface. However, overtime, another department may begin to use Alma Digital and may want to turn that feature back on (which is better suited for their resources).
    For instance, if we begin to upload image files or digitized newspaper clippings, the New Viewer would work great -- but for other general content, it's not always the best option.

    It would be great…
