Make "Automatically print slip" toggle available when scanning in Fulfillment Network items
When we receive requested items from Fulfillment Network libraries via Scan In Items, the hold slip doesn't print because the "Automatically print slip" option disappears as soon as we select the "Item from another institution" checkbox. We would like the "Automatically print slip" toggle to remain available regardless of which institution's item we're scanning. The option was added to the Resource Sharing Receiving Items screen in 2017, and it seems logical (and necessary) in this situation as well.

Allow for IZ-to-IZ reporting capabilities in Alma Analytics
When in an Alma institution zone, one can query a title MMS ID, grab the network ID from the record, and look up all institutions in the network with a holding for that title. You can even drill down into those records to see the barcodes for the individual items at other institutions. But there is no way to replicate this same query in Alma Analytics. When part of a network, there should be an easy way to use Alma Analytics to see all barcodes of a title across the entire network to compare holdings.

Combined IZ + NZ bib headings browsing
Please open an option to do a combined IZ + NZ bib headings browsing. Currently we have to choose browse in Institution or Network. But this really misses the point of a browsing -- we want to browse all the NZ + IZ records, and don't want to separate things into pieces.
Please also consider opening combined browsing for each heading type category -- e.g. within subjects, open an option for combined subject browsing, rather than currently have separate sub-category e.g. chronological, topical etc. The current browsing options are too tedious, and we do appreciate you to open more combined…

Change the Network Number field in Analytics to use a semicolon between subfields in addition to fields.
The Network Number field in Analytics includes a number of fields, including 035$a and $z, 019 $a and $z, and some 7xx linking fields. The documentation says the delimiter is "; ".
What actually happens is that the delimiter is present only between fields, not between numbers in repeatable subfields in the same field. If an 035 contains one $a and three $z subfields, there will not be a semicolon delimiter between them, only a space. This makes it difficult to parse out individual fields, and not possible to find erroneous numbers with a space in the subfield.
Please change…

Fulfillment Network Search in Alma Network Zone
I’d like the ability to only search the other colleges in our fulfillment network in an Alma network zone search. A current search of the network zone shows holdings from all of the different colleges in our consortium, but there is no way to narrow that search down to only show holdings from colleges in your fulfillment network unless you go into Primo.
It’d be nice to take Primo’s functionality of only searching your fulfillment network’s holdings and apply that filter to an Alma network zone search via a facet or something of that nature.

Configuration option to default brief citation placement to either Network or Institution
Currently when creating a brief citation for course reserves, the default option is to place the citation in the network zone. It would be better if the default placement was configurable. It's easy to overlook this option and we never want to put our brief citations in the network zone, but end up doing so inadvertently many times.
