"Do not show as Full Text available in CDI even if active in Alma" for article records
We were informed by Ex Libris that the "Do not show as Full Text available in CDI even if active in Alma" CDI field does not work on articles. As this feature can already impact the discoverability of CDI records in Primo, it would be great if it could be formally developed so it behaves more predictably and less unexpectedly. When selecting "Yes" for "do not show as full text available in CDI even if active in Alma", we are still seeing CDI article records appear in Primo.

Delete bibliographic records - Limit Match of Bibliographic Records to a Specific Electronic Collection
In scenarios where a vendor has provided ISBNs of titles they have removed from an e-book package but it is likely that the same titles are included in other e-book packages, it would be good to be able to limit the deletion to a specific electronic collection. This feature would have to recognise to only delete bibliographic records matching a specific collection where the records do not have active portfolios belonging to other electronic collections. Use case: ability to batch delete locally held e-book records from vendor A only if they are NOT also part of vendor B’s e-book package.

Disable the license terms from cascading down from POL to electronic collections and portfolios
The current situation is that after attaching a license to a PO Line, this license will override the license(s) originally attached to the electronic collections and the portfolios. We have 5000+ Chinese ebooks that come with a wide range of number of concurrent users. While we can update them using the 'Run a Job' function, but once the POL that is connected with the electronic collection is updated, it will override the license terms we have for the individual ebooks. So we would like to see if there is an option to delink the POLs and electronic collections from the…

Option to NOT receive ticket updates 'Report to ExLibris'
Add a 'Report to ExLibris' option to NOT receive ticket updates.
Use case: I report that an ebook title in a huge Open Access collection is, in fact, not open access. I view this as a standard cleanup task. We've likely already suppressed the record from our catalog and don't need to track the ticket or receive updates. It generates many unnecessary emails.3 votes -
Search and reporting option base on subscription model
Currently, there's an option to search portfolios with Purchase Model - e.g. JSTOR DDA Buy, or ProQuest Subscription.
But it's impossible, at least from what we tried, to search further with the information under 'Proquest Subscription Electronic Collection Name". It's odd to have a field (screenshots below) but unable to use the information to search, e.g. University Press Ebook Subscription.3 votes -

Improve E-Resource Activation Task handling for additional copy ebook orders
Currently when an additional copy of an already active ebook is ordered, there is no e-resource task added to the Electronic Resource Activation Task List, since the resource is already active. However, we add interested users to almost all of our ebooks, and if there is no activation task, the interested users are never being notified.
If the ebook order is already on an active item, it would be nice if the interested users would automatically be notified, or just have an e-resource activation task added as normal to fulfill the process of notifying the interested users.2 votes -
Add Ebsco's Veterinary Source to the Community Zone

Has Local Information on CZ Updates Task List shows up even when Global Coverage is being utilized instead
If a portfolio is using global coverage information, but has local coverage information remaining, the portfolio shows up in the CZ Updates Task List under "Has Local Information" when updates come in, even though local coverage is not being utilized. If local coverage is not selected, it would make more sense for it not to show up in the list since it's not being utilized and therefore does not really matter at that point.

Add portolios from CZ Updates Task List to associated collection in bulk
The Community Zone Updates Task List displays portfolios that were added to a non auto-active collection. But you can only handle these portfolios one by one. It would be helpful to select the desired portfolios and to add them in bulk to the associated collection.
The planned solution from ExLibris to manage collections as auto-active collections is not wanted because not all portfolios that are automatically activated are interesting to the library (e. g. when the library has a specific book stock and does not provide its readers with all scientific disciplines).1 vote -

Make electronic collection portfolios searchable by MMS ID

Ability to put Mailto links in electronic portfolios within a collection.
We have vendors that have lots of individual titles that are associated with different products. We create electronic collections and add the portfolios. Users must email the provider to request an ID. While you can add a URL, you cannot add a mailto link in the general electronic service.
