Modify column size in search results
We would like to be able to modify the width of the columns for search results in Alma. The collection status (in the "Item Availability" column) can be difficult to read for some records, which forces us to open the record to read it properly.

Add the option to custom harvest the entire institution's SUSHI accounts
We usually analyse the usage data of the whole previous year. In our "Monthly usage data" overview many reports failed. We have 100+ vendors with SUSHI accounts.
To manually go to each vendor and custom harvest the year's usage data takes a long time.
Please include the option to run a job that harvests ALL SUSHI data as a custom harvest.

Selecting multiple courses at once when assigning them to a reading list
When I am "working on" a reading list, on the Courses tab, I can only associate one course at a time. Is there a way to make multiple course selections possible? An example would be how we can select multiple titles in the repository search when adding titles to a reading list.

Import Special Characters from ILLiad to Alma's temporary item via NCIP Connection
Special characters, such as in Asian, Arabic, and Slavic languages, turn into question marks (??????) when Alma's temporary item is created via the NCIP connection with ILLiad for incoming Borrowing Loan items. So, the patrons cannot tell which ILL item is which in their Primo library account, also Hold Slips are printed with "?????" as the titles and authors and very confusing for both staff and patrons.
Because the API for ILLiad and Alma connection was created by a third party and is not going to be updated, please consider creating Exlibris' own API (ILLiad Addon) for the NCIP connection…

Increase the maximum 'page size' limit for a 'set of results'
Currently the 'page size' setting only allows a maximum of '20'. This means that whenever a search is conducted only the first 20 records can be displayed on the first page of the search results. We would like to be able to set a default of '50' or more, so that when a search is conducted on user records, statistical notes, courses, bibliographic records, etc. we can easily see all and or more results.
Please see the below knowledge article for more information about the 'page_size' field:1 vote -

Increase password strength requirements
Our institution's security protocols require certain password strength requirements that do not align with ExL's general password guidelines of 8 characters or greater. With the rise of identity theft and database exploits, ExL standards are not up to date with current guidelines. Our institutions minimum password requirements are:
i. Be at least 15 characters long
ii. Be no more than 127 characters long.
– Some applications limit the number of characters that can be used.
iii. Not be used for the user’s other accounts.
iv. Not consist of a common phrase.
v. Not be based on something that’s guessable by…6 votes -

Add option for inventory's title to the "Interested In" letter
When we receive items on a standing order POL, our interested users listed in the POL receive the standard "Interested In" letter notifying them that an item has been processed. However, when the standing order POL is attached to a brief bib for the series, the letter only gives the series title and not the individual item's analytic title. As a result, the interested user is only notified that a new item in that series has arrived, but not what that specific item is.
The letter's XML does pull the individual item's call number through @@callNumber@@ : <xsl:value-of select="notification_data/poline_inventory/call_number"/>". Replicating…

The warning information system of the new metadata editor can be displayed directly, or librarians can be configured to display or not display it. The current warning in your record requires manual clicking of the arrows at the back to appear, with each item being highlighted, seriously affecting the efficiency of cataloging.

Workforms
Coming from Leap this is the most missed feature. Being able to have multiple tabs open, remembering recent patrons and item records opened, and switching back and forth without losing what I'm working on.
Ex. If I look up a patron's account and they ask me to look up an item, I shouldn't lose their account page when I go back to "Manage Patron Services".

Archived Reading Lists show up in Reading List Tasks
When I archive reading lists, they show up in reading list task section and there isn't way to remove them from there. I don't need know that they've been archived, so it would be nice if they didn't show up in this area since I use it to monitor reading lists I'm currently working on. If there is a way to configure this, so they don't show up, I haven't been able to find any documentation for it. (Most of the time I get pointed to Leganto and we don't use it)

Interested In Letter - Remove from preferred email
Could we please have this letter removed from the list of letters affected by:
"For some letters, such as several resource sharing letters, the From: address contains the library's email preferred address, if this address is configured. If the address is not configured, the letters use ILL@exlibrisgroup.com as the From address. The list of letters with this behavior is:"
It doesn't make sense that a letter triggered by an acquisitions workflow is lumped in with a bunch of (largely) resource sharing letters.
