Add "Print Slip Report" action to the "Resource Request Monitoring" screen
The Print Slip Report function is currently available from the "Pick Up Requested Resources" and "Resource Sharing Lending Requests Task List" screens. But when a hold is placed on an item that is checked out, the returning item is automatically placed on hold and the request bypasses the "Pick Up Requested Resources" screen and shows up on the "Resource Request Monitoring" screen as "On Hold Shelf". But the Print Slip Report is not available here. It does need to be available here, as well.
"Print Slip Report" is a different action than "Print Slip." The Print Slip Report is a…
121 votesHi,
The request monitor page is not intended to be the routine working space, but rather be an interface that allows searching and fining specific requests to query about their status, and run some specific actions (such as cancel). The routine work on the requests list is intended to be done via the task lists.
Thanks,

Electronic portfolios in an electronic collection/packages should inherit data displays from the collection's service
Data elements that are set at a Electronic collection service level should cascade down and be applied/display at the electronic portfolio level.
While portfolios that are part of an electronic collection/package inherit the properties that are set at the service level, those inherited properties do not display in Alma in the individual portfolios. For example, the proxy value in the individual portfolios will always display in Alma as "No" even when the true value inherited from the electronic collection's service is "Yes." Similarly, a public or authentication note entered at the electronic collection or service level does not cascade down…43 votesAs part of Alma June release Advanced search query options were expanded to include Not Contains Keywords, Is Empty and Is Not Empty for electronic resources indexes.

Add Lender/Borrower addresses to Label code table in select Fulfillment and Resource Sharing letters
Fulfillment letters and Resource Sharing related letters would benefit from having an easy mailing label field, to be toggled on and off in the “Labels” section for letter editing when a Library would like to add a mailing label to a letter.
With collaboration from our Alliance colleagues, we created a shipping label directly on our Ful Resource Sharing Request letter. When we print our pull slips, a second page is automatically generated with a printed mailing label with the Borrowing Schools address information, along with information to allow our mail room to expense it to the correct fund. By…

Ensure that CZ & CDI Metadata is Linked Data Ready
I was advised by the Linked Data Group to post this idea here because I submitted the following for the LOD Working Group webinar in December:
Broader strategic and commercial alliances required to ensure that data is ready to be linked?
To engender confidence in CZ and make it linked-data ready, why don’t the Company do business with e.g. Backstage Library Works for authority control clean-up and maintenance?
Metadata is a global commodity so all stakeholders have responsibility for creating, sharing, enriching and maintaining it, and of course there are costs for all of these elements which we could…

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…
