Health Affairs Archive - Please add Collection:
The journal "Health Affairs" is currently in the collection "Single Journals". The publisher (Project Hope) has recently created an Archive for purchase. It is titled "Health Affairs Archive" and covers content from 1981-2020.
We need a portfolio for the Archive so we can purchase it, because we already have a subscription order this year on the existing portfolio.
Please create a Project Hope Collection in the Community Zone that includes two portfolios:
- The existing portfolio for Health Affairs currently in the Single Journals collection (CKB ID/CZ MMS ID: 99954921386894)

Subtotal multiple allocated fund values on an invoice (for multiple invoice lines)
We often use multiple allocated funds for different invoice lines on the same invoice. When I am trying to compare with our financial system, I have to manually subtotal the amounts per fund to make sure it matches the cost center values. If the subtotal of all allocated funds used on an invoice (different invoice lines) could be present on the invoice lines tab or summary tab, that would be very helpful.

Allow internal users to have a phone number as default required field (not email)
We have a mix of internal users, some community users do not have email addresses. We find that it is nearly impossible to set up Alma accounts for them when they do not have an email. We would like to have the option to set those users to have a default phone number as the required contact field and the ability to print on demand any notifications they may be.

Sort Option for Data Start Date or Data End Date in SUSHI Area/Vendor Details
It would be helpful to add a sort option for the 'Data Start Date and Data End Date" when analysing SUSHI reports that have been uploaded to the vendor details area/profile. When doing a custom harvest or uploading data it would make it so easy to see what date ranges have been uploaded and/or harvested. There is already sort functionality for the file name, uploaded date, SUSHI account and others, please see screen shot. I honestly think this is too important not to have been considered.

Enhancing Alma with ERP System Integration for Streamlined Operations
Alma is a robust library management system, but its potential could be further maximized by integrating ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system functionalities. By incorporating ERP features, Alma could streamline financial management, procurement, and resource allocation across library operations. This integration would not only improve efficiency but also provide a unified platform for managing budgets, tracking expenditures, and optimizing resource allocation. Additionally, an ERP system could enhance reporting capabilities, offering deeper insights into library data that could inform strategic decision-making. This approach would position Alma as a more comprehensive tool, catering to the evolving needs of modern libraries.

Making Alma and Salesforce Work Better Together
Hi there,
Greeting from Marcos!
Here’s how we can improve how Alma and Salesforce work together to help libraries:
Automatic Case Creation: When something goes wrong in Alma, it can automatically create a support case in Salesforce. This way, issues get attention quickly, making it faster to fix problems.
Combined Dashboard: Create a single dashboard in Salesforce Marketing that shows real-time data from Alma. This helps library staff see important information in one place, making it easier to make informed decisions.
Better Communication: Link Alma and Salesforce so that notifications and updates about cases are sent automatically to users and…

Vendor type - APC
We currently have 4 Vendor types in Alma (Material supplier, access provider, Licensor and Governmental) it would be useful to have a new type of APC vendor - we often pay different companies, who we don't use for other purchases, and the existing types don't match. It would also be useful where we have transformative deals so we can highlight that the vendor is also identified as an APC provider (whether we pay or not for them)

Vendor Communication will not send without PO Line Attached
As an Alma Administrator at Kettering University, we would like the ability for the 'Acquistions>Vendors>Communications tab' area to send emails to vendors without a PO line attached. Currently, correspondence will not be sent if you try to email a vendor without an associated PO Line. This will help us keep vendor correspondences more streamlined and structured, eliminating the need to download personal emails to PDF format and upload them.
Not all communications we have with a vendor will be order-based. Does anyone know of any fixes or backend settings allowing those to be sent? We were informed at the Support…

Add "Rule details", "Terms of use", and "Fulfillment Policy" as shared descriptive dimensions with Fulfillment subject area
We would find it very useful to be able to report on fulfillment activity as tied to configuration. For example, we'd like to be able to report on items that allow unlimited renewals versus items that allow renews but limit the time frame.
From what I can tell, only the loan length is included in the Fulfillment subject area, but the terms of use information is in the Configurations (Limited) subject area. But, we cannot do a multiple subject report without them being shared dimensions in Fulfillment. It would be very helpful if they could be added.

Ability to make bulk bookings in Excel and import (similar to updating calendars in Excel)
We use the booking feature for student study rooms, but occasionally some (though not all) of these rooms need to be booked off for special events, i.e., convocation, reserving time for reference interviews, etc.
Our library could benefit from the ability to create these bulk bookings in Excel (copying/duplicating rows) as we would when updating our hours of operation.
Excel columns might include the barcode for the room, the barcode for the special patron account we use to block off rooms as needed, dates, start/end times, and a yes/no for whether the booking may override normal booking rules/restrictions.
