  1. Please add the ability to use the facets for Archival Materials according to LDR pos. 8 = a

    Hello,

    Most archival materials are cataloged as follows:
    LDR pos. 6 = p
    LDR pos. 8 = a
    Currently, the facet in Alma show these kind of materials as "Undefined".
    Adding a facet of "Achieve Material" according to LDR pos.8 = a, would be very useful.

    Thanks.

  2. New role for Manage Import Profiles

    Currently users must have a Cat Admin role or Gen Sys Admin role to be able to Manage Import Profiles (change/add profiles). This also gives them access to the Configuration area of Alma. There should be a role to permit users to Manage Import Profiles that does NOT also give them access to the Alma configuration area. Access to the Alma configuration menu should be separate from the ability to Manage Import Profiles.

    Hello all,

    I’m currently working on a detailed solution for this request and would appreciate your input. Could you share the reasoning behind the need for a completely new user role to manage import profiles?

    An alternative approach could be to introduce specific privileges for managing import profiles and add them to the existing Purchasing Manager and Catalog Manager roles, with these privileges turned off by default. This way, institutions can decide whether to enable them for these roles.

    The advantage of this approach is that it leverages existing manager roles without requiring the creation of an additional new role, while still avoiding granting full administrative access to configuration settings.

    Looking forward to your feedback.

    Erez
