Library opening hours - prolong the "valid to" field in bulk
It would be very helpful to have a possibility to prolong library opening hours in bulk. We have more than 40 libraries and now the only possibility to prolong library opening hours is to open each line with opening hours, save it and run the "Apply changes" job. With so many libraries with many lines for opening hours in the library calendar will be this change for many hours of clicking.

When looking at a list of POLs, it would be useful to see in the summary or be able to add to the customised summary view, if the item has been invoiced.

Add filter to Vendor Invoices tab
I would like to be able to limit the invoices I see on the Invoice tab in the vendor records to a specific time frame or add a filter to have the ability to select the fiscal year of the invoices in the list.
This will allow me to only see truly historic invoices when and if I need to.24 votes -
Allow filtering and sorting on all columns in "In process items"
In the "In process items", some columns can be filtered (Process status, request filter, library) and some can be sorted but not all. It would be useful to be able to filter by "Modified by", "Modification date" and to sort by "Modification Date".

Allow the Improve the display of "Item availability" for serials/journals
When there are a lot of content in "Item availability", which is the case for some journals/serials, the display is hard to read. It would be useful to allow for css customization like in Primo.
There should also be a line break for each 866 field.1 vote -

Make it possible to activate a portfolio without making the the whole collection active
I often find portfolios in other collections that I do not have active. I activate it and then move it to our active collection. The collection it was moved from then is in our alma without active portfolios.

'Undo Last Action' option for Resource Sharing requests
Many times, our library staff accidentally choose an unintended Resource Sharing status or scan the wrong barcode when shipping material. They either realize the error too late, or they instantly regret the results of the status change.
Currently, there is no good way to undo this type of unintended error for both partners. Manually changing the status only changes it on your end, not the partner's end, which throws off the entire workflow. This usually forces the partners to create brand new requests in order to finish circulating the material. This is more work for everyone involved and throws off…

Ability to combine two or more existing items into a kit without losing POL information
If there's a way to do this, I can't find it.
What I would like to have is to take existing/previously received items (presumably with their own barcodes) and then combine them under one barcode as a kit. In theory, you can use "Bond Items" to do this, but the problem is that you effectively lose your POL receiving info (as well as all other individual item info) from the combined items. In my organization's case, this can cause an issue for the auditing department if the is a question or issue involving one of the merged items since there…3 votes -
Correct article level target links for records without assigned volume or issue numbers
For example, we see erroneous records (without working linking/availability) that are published ahead of print and which do not have specific volume/issue numbers. Until the publisher updates this information Primo links are directed to an error page.

Rename the label for the 'Records processed' column to 'Records to be processed'
This is a very minor thing, but the label for the new 'Records processed' column in job monitoring should be renamed to a more fitting 'Records being processed' or 'Records to be processed'.
As long as the job shows up in the 'Running' tab the records have not been (fully) processed but the current label implies this, esp. in combination with the 'Progress' column.The German label has the same problem: "Verarbeitete Datensätze" --> should be "Zu verarbeitende Datensätze".

Trial : request of a Trial viewer role
There are 3 roles about Trials : administrator, operator and participant.
But none gives access to the Trials and all information with only option to view (and not delete neither modify datas).
A license viewer role exists in ALMA ; we request a similar Trial viewer role.28 votes -
Receiving Note - Ability to see when the note was last modified and by who
It would be great if there was a way to see which operator added Receiving Note and when the note was added. We are trying to go through and update receiving notes, and are coming across some that we would like to get answers for. However, we aren't sure who placed the note in the first place and it could have been years ago.
Being able to see who modified the receiving note last and when it was created would allow us to follow-up with the appropriate people or realize they no longer work with us, and move forward on…0 votes -
Local Authority Automation and Workflow
Currently, Alma requires quite a bit of manual intervention when creating local authority records and linking them to the relevant records in the catalog. In order to relink an authority controlled field (ie. 1XX, 6XX, and 7XX) someone from the library must go through and change the second indicators from 0 to 7 and add a $2 with the local authority profile code. This can be done using normalization rules but it still must be done manually. There are no scheduled jobs that will do this.
An example might be helpful to both show the problem and a possible solution.

Open Predicted Items feature in MDE should bring in the Item Policy value from the previous item
The feature of Open Predicted Items in MDE cannot bring in the Item Policy as it does for the Material Type, which is inherited well from the previous item.

Analytics - make History tab in User Records indexed & searchable
We have been informed by Ex Libris that when a User Record is updated, either with an API or via the Alma interface, then those fields updated will not be updated with the daily SIS feed. They are considered "manual" changes and are therefore, locked. Now, in the history tab of User Records, you can see the changes made and by whom, but we have been told this information is not available in Analytics and the only way to know who has these locked fields is as we come across them. There is no way currently to systematically pull these…

Upload Electronic Holdings (Autoload holding list) – the reports do not listed out the deleted titles
We use the autoload feature to update electronic holdings for specific vendors such as ScienceDirect and Ovid.
After autoload, we find that the job will list out the no. of portfolios “added”, “updated”, and “deleted” but without the deleted titles listed out at the job report. Whenever a portfolio is deleted, we need to check if the deleted titles are removed correctly? Do we have perpetual access right for the deleted titles and do we need to claim for the access right with the new publisher.
We use the load portfolios tool in the Electronic service to add/update/delete portfolios for…
