Support Universal Links
I'd really like to use bi-directional codes (QR or NaviLens https://www.navilens.com/en/) around campus to jump people to the relevant feature in UCL Go. I think it could be a gamechanger for campusM in terms of connecting the physical with the digital realms and making it the ultimate experience app for students, staff, visiting researchers and members of the public alike.
I'd like all users to be able to get contextual help relevant to where they physically are without having to remember how to get to the corresponding feature in the app, know that that app might be able to…

Add a self-checkout feature in campusM/Library Mobile
It would be useful to add a self-checkout function to campusM/Library Mobile. Built as a new product integration, notably with Alma, it would allow patrons to check out items on their mobile device (quick and private way for patrons to borrow items from anywhere in the stacks).
Some libraries use parallel apps for self-checking, it is not very convenient to propose different library apps to users. Adding a self-checkout feature in campusM/Library Mobile would consolidate the use of this app among the library patrons.

Impossible to go back to Primo PI search results
When clicking on View It links in Primo results and getting to aggregator or publisher websites, PDFs or external resources, one cannot go back to the original search results. Using the back button goes back to Primo Search, and never to the search results. As a consequence, app users must systematically re-run their searches or click on the search history. We think that the current behavior of the Primo PI is unsatisfactory in terms of user experience.

Home Page Banners - Swipe interface
As an app user, I would like to be able to swipe through banners, so that I don't have to wait for a specific banner to come around again before I can select it
As well as just having the banners scroll through in a defined order - give users the ability to 'swipe' through them, rather than waiting for a banner to come around again.

External authentication for App Manager
As an app manager administrator, I would like to be able to configure the app manager to use an external authentication store (e.g. AD), so that I don't have to maintain a separate user list just for the app manager
It should be possible to use an external authentication store for access to the App Manager (https://portal.ombiel.co.uk/)
Having to maintain a user list in oMbiel's DB as well as our main user store (AD) is both a pain and a potential security risk.
Suggest at least LDAP provision, but should also consider Shibboleth and similar (Open Auth etc.)

Weekly calendar view to be reinstated in React app
Since moving to React we have had some feedback from our end users that the removal of the weekly view is a serious step back to the product, with one response saying the update has destroyed the calendar.
Would it be possible to reinstate an optional week view in React as this seemingly was very popular with our students and the feedback we are now getting is not good.

Make fingerprint login time-out configurable
The new fingerprint functionality allows you to enable/disable fingerprint sign in to the app, based on the fingerprints stored in your mobile devices (if available). The annoying behavior for this, is that it will ask you to re-fingerprint every time you get back to the app (e.g. switch to another app, and get back to CampusM 2 seconds later re-triggers fingerprint).
Please allow for a configurable time-out timer during which re-authentication with fingerprint will not be necessary.

Add option of using OAuth as an authentication method
We would like to see the introduction of OAuth as a method of authentication for the Portal and mobile apps in addition to SAML and LDAPS.
OAuth provides a method for users to grant third-party access to their resources without sharing their passwords. It also provides a way to grant limited access (in scope, duration, etc.).
OAuth also offers direct handling of non-website services. OAuth has built-in support for desktop applications, mobile devices, set-top boxes, and of course websites.
We believe it may offer a solution to our issue of having to run both SAML authentication for our portal/desktop site…

Send notifications to list of e-mail addresses / student names
Please look into the possibility of optimising the notification functionality, so that notifications can easily be sent to individuals based on name / Id / e-mail address, rather than groups. The only way to currently do this is to manually search for a name / e-mail, and add users 1 by 1, but we'd like the ability to do this as a bulk add, based on a list of multiple inputs.

The timetable app should send a push notification 10 min before a lecture
If someone does not want to add lecture events to their personal calendar, or for some reason unable to do so. The app should be able to send out a notification that a lecture will start in X min, with it should be the lecture name ID and location.

Update analytics to show how many users are engaged / non-engaged
Currently the analytics that we can see are quite top level and don't allow us to really evaluate how many active users we have. There is a figure for this, however I think ExLibris have stated that this figure is not accurate / really working.
It would be really helpful if we had access to a simple graph that showed us the number and proportion of:
- Very active users (e.g. users who are on average accessing the app multiple times a day / multiple sessions a day)
- Active users (e.g. users who are on average accessing the app roughly once…

Enable Deep Linking in the applications
Enable deep linking into the apps so that we could use the functionality to not only link to content within the app via a url but also so that we can use it open the directly from other places such as Facebook app pages.

Folders for Tiles
Briefly: Please add a "Folder" tile type that can group tiles together. Clicking on the Folder would show the contents of the folder, similar to the home screen.
Background: We have a large number of Tiles. There are several Product Integrations, a couple RSS, several AEKs and lots of Static Content. And we've only scratched the surface of what our individual department does. To expand to the entire university, we're going to need some way to group these together at least one step below the Home page. A similar User Interface exists on mobile devices to group multiple apps into…

Have personalisation stored permanently for users
As opposed to personalisation options (the order of the icons) being lost when the user logs out, it would be better if they were associated with the user accounts and kept the icon order when the person logged out and back in again, as opposed to them having to rearrange.

Be able to bulk upload/download campus positions.
Add a function with a button to the positions area, where we are able to bulk upload/download campus positions.
The idea being we can download a .csv of current locations and make any updates we need and then upload it back for our app to then get populated with the changes.
This would speed things up for everyone rather than editing each position one by one that takes way too long to sort.

Ability to upload a spreadsheet into AppManager to set alert population
In App Manager Alert Group subscriptions page
https://appmanager.ombiel.com/notifications/CampusM/alertgroupsubscriptions
You can currently select people individually or as a whole ALL group.
It would be much more practical to be able to upload a spreadsheet of email addresses to add to the group.We often have campaigns or targeted groups that may contain up to 10,000 subscriptions but this is not ALL of the group and searching through the list for 10,000 specific emails is not practical.
Could you amend this method to allow upload of files which would solve a big problem for us.
Thanks
