Changing the rank of holdings in Alma
When a bibliographic record contains several holdings, they are displayed in random order (as far as we know).
It would be helpful to be able to change the rank of display for holdings, especially for serials, in order to show the item availability by date for a better and more logical reading.
The option is available for Primo, we would like to be able to change this configuration in Alma too.1 vote -
The generation of new predicted items takes a lot of time
Generating new predicted items for daily, weekly, monthly newspapers takes a lot of time : up to 15 minutes for some daily newspapers with numerous supplements and issues.
No message is displayed indicating that the generation is in process, which could prevent us from launching duplicate treatments.1 vote -

Ability to set bib record to "Force Export to WorldCat" via the "Set Management Tag" Job
Currently the "Set Management Tag" cannot set a bib record to "Force Export to WorldCat" as you can do in the Metadata Editor. Adding this option to that job would be very helpful as currently the only way to set this option is to go to each and every record via the Metadata Editor.

Enable forcing barcode number for new items
When cataloguing a new item, we wish to force cataloguers to add barcode number before save. If some libraries do not want that, forcing the barcode field could be optional.

Understanding the Cost of FSSC 22000 Certification
The cost of obtaining FSSC 22000 certification https://paragoncertifications.com/iso13485/ varies depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the organization, the number of employees, and the scope of operations. Key expenses include preparation costs, such as training, gap analysis, and documentation development. Certification body fees for audits, including Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments, are also significant components. Additionally, organizations should account for annual surveillance audits and recertification fees every three years.
For small businesses, the total cost may range from $10,000 to $25,000, while larger operations could incur expenses exceeding $50,000. However, the investment often pays off through…

Standing orders - Quantitly for pricing should be "1" by default and the "Update Net Price according to item quantity" should be unchecked
This idea was opened by Ex Libris to see how the community supports it.
For standing orders - Quantitly for pricing should be "1" by default and the "Update Net Price according to item quantity" should not be selected by default (unchecked))
"The 'Update Net Price according to item quantity' is really useful in a lot of cases, but when creating a Standing Order (which doesn't create inventory), the Quantity for Pricing = 0 and this box needs to be unchecked in order to be able to add a List Price and Fund. the idea is for this box to…

Tie the Non-Renewal Notice Period or Cancellation Restriction fields in licenses to the PO Line
Create a linkage between the renewal notice period and cancellation restriction fields in a PO Line, if it is linked to a license agreement that references either a non-renewal notice or termination notice period, ask if this information should sync. Perhaps this is an area where DARA could operate?

Ability to hide/compress inventory list in POL
For POLs that have extensive lists of electronic inventory (i.e., many electronic collections are associated with one POL), have capability to hide or compress that inventory list in the POL, and then show/expand as needed. Otherwise, we need to scroll down past a long list to get to other sections of the POL for both View and Edit. Example is our POL for JOVE, which is linked to 54 collections. CDL has similar examples for consortial content managed in the UC NZ.

Ability to add local notes for bib record when creating POLs
It would be nice to be able to add a local note which will become part of a bibliographic record when ordering/creating POLs-- without having to create the POL, then go into the bib record to add a note.
Currently, when creating POLs for multiple items needing notes, this can get very "clunky" with many additional steps.
Currently, one has to bring the record back up by deselecting Order lines and changing to All titles, find then edit, save and release the bib.
Some examples of local notes that would "transfer" to the bibliographic record: 590__ Written by Professor Plum.…

Trial Feedback in POLine
Currently Trials are created from the POLine but once a trial is evaluated and closed only a single note appears in the POLine saying "Decision to purchase at this time" if approved.
It would be helpful if a trial information could be added to the POLine either as a Tab that includes the Summary and Analysis of the trial or as a Link on the Side Bar the same as the PO

Corollary suggestion to "Copy POL data to new POL with different order line type"
I would like to see Rollover of POLs receive a new rollover rules-build.
It would be extremely helpful if POL rollover could be done ledger-by-ledger if desired.
In addition, I (and maybe others? vote for this!) would like an option for firm orders to roll ONLY if they're still 'open', i.e. not 'closed', and not 'invoiced' (is rollover of firm orders ordered, received, AND PAID in one fiscal year into the next EVER useful? I doubt it myself...). Voyager did something like this with firm order rollover. I can't remember whether its rules just made sense, or if I adjusted…

Retain previous Sort Routine settings when viewing Items Received in Purchase Order Lines
NOTE: I posted this before noticing it had been previously suggested (though I did search and couldn't find it before posting, and now it's been deleted:??); my apologies. Suggestion: In the previous iteration the system remembered the previous sort routine setting when viewing a list of received items. The new version reverts to the Library/location setting for each search, even when making more than one search in the same purchase order line. The description sort is our primary setting, so each time we view the list of items, for example to see what has been received and whether there are…

Automatically suppress bib records generated from the Order It! Amazon plug in.
Allow the option to automatically suppress bib records created from the Order It! Amazon plugin. Additionally, allow the option to have the titles of the generated brief bibs typed in all capital letters as per standard practice for acquisitions brief bibs. Brief bibs typed in all caps help visually distinguish them from full bibliographic records.
