Add a status of 'digitisation archived' for DCS requests
Currently there are two statuses for digitisation request licence status - approved or rejected. Requests that have been temporarily archived show as 'digitisation rejected' which is inaccurate and could be misleading. We would like to request a new status for those requests that exist in the DCS, but have been archived and are not currently available to students.

Display (both) print holdings of citations that have had their availability merged in Leganto
It is currently possible to merge the availability of citations possessing different availabilities, i.e. print and online, in Leganto but it is not possible to merge the availability of citations where the availability is print and print.
For example - a citation of a regular sized junior fiction title and that of a citation of the "big book" version size of the same title which happens to be on a different catalogue record.3 votes -
Export Leganto reading lists as PDF: add tags to the PDF for better accessibility
An accessible PDF must include document structure tags, which describe the logical and semantic structure of a document. This is important for screen readers and other assertive technologies to interpret and reproduce the content correctly.
Unfortunately, when a Leganto reading list is exported as PDF, the PDF does not include document structure tags. We hope that tags can be added and thus Leganto reading lists become accessible as PDFs too.6 votes -
Ability to add new metadata fields to Citation Field Mapping table
Currently the citation field mapping configuration table in Alma only allows us to add a row with metadata that is pre-defined in a set drop-down list. We would like to be able to add to this list by creating extra metadata fields to choose from

Add PNX record to citation data
Troubleshooting Leganto links is more helpful when staff can understand where the record originates or is pulled from. Leganto allows staff members to search by PNX record ID and the Alma MMS ID. However, when broken links are reported, this information is not shared in the citation metadata.
Adding this data to the process would help ensure that staff can compare the correct items when troubleshooting broken links. While we know there is a citation origin field in Leganto Analytics, it would be more effective to go a step further and have an option like a bookmarklet that can be…

“Select all citations” on list level, and not having to first select one citation for the toolbar to appear and then select all
The Select all item option should be placed right next to the search button (as indicated in the picture), and preferably not hidden under an action menu.
Already you can select all citations in sections in the Section menu, so it would only make sense to be able to do the same thing on a list level, for instance when you want to tag all citations in the list in one operation.
The preferred workflow would be one click to select all citations, and then having the toolbar appear, the same way it does when you select one citation.

Ask the library for a digital copy form
Currently it's configured that or the field "Chapters" or the field "Pages from - Pages to" is mandatory.
We would like to have the fields "Pages from - Pages to" to be mandatory even if the field "Chapters" is filled in by the user.6 votes -
Colour-coded Student/Library/Instructor tags
Suggestion from our recent Leganto implementation survey:
There are icons to show the difference between student/library/instructor tags at the point they are added; it would be useful to library staff & Instructors to be able to see at a glance e.g. by colour-coding which tags are which after adding. (In a similar way that library staff can currently see some system-generated tags as a different colour from the user-added ones).2 votes -
Digitisation Approved Alert for Instructors
Feedback from Instructors has been that they would like an alert when a digitisation has been approved/goes live on the list (in our case, from a sync with the DCS). This would both enable instructors to know when the digitisation has gone live, and also enable them to query with the library when they have not received an alert (i.e. that the digitisation hasn't been made, or has been rejected). Alerts would ideally appear as one of the alert option dropdowns in the Leganto interface.

Highlight Open Access and peer reviewed material on reading lists with the Primo logos
Students and staff can see the Open Access logo and the peer view logo in Primo but they can't see the logos on the same resource once it's been added to Leganto. Please enable libraries to choose whether these logos can be pulled into Leganto with the resource details. The University of Sheffield is doing some work around open resources and promoting OER and it would be good to be able to highlight open resources on the reading list for students and staff. I hope the picture helps.

Multi-site list alerts for print items
We have 7 physical locations 6 of which have print items. We want to set up Leganto to automatically complete physical inventory when added by an instructor as we do not have a "course reserve" workflow or short loan process. In other words, if an instructor adds print to their reading list we are happy that it can be accessed by the students on the open shelves.
However, we are aware that instructors could add physical inventory that is located at one site for a course that is being delivered at another. We do not do inter-site lending even between…

Leganto Analytics storage usage report
This new feature will provide system administrators with environments without Alma D with a detailed analytics report displaying Leganto current storage space usage, available free space, and total storage capacity for their resources. The dashboard will offer a seamless interface for managing and monitoring storage needs, ensuring that administrators can efficiently monitor storage space and predict growth.
This tool will enhance resource management by delivering clear insights into storage utilisation, aiding administrators with proactive management of storage, and preventing overcapacity issues with the Leganto platform.

Make new edition suggestions actionable for instructors from the detailed notification letter
There is a workflow issue for instructors starting from the detailed leganto notifications letter.
Scenario:
1. Librarian suggests a new edition for a citation in Alma
2. Instructor receives the detailed notification letter with a link to the citation view for the existing citation that now has a suggestion
3. Instructor looks around and there is nowhere to do anything about the suggestion, although they might spot the new edition tag - it does nothing when they click on it
4. Instructor has to know that they must click on the section or list links at the top of page…7 votes -
Better layout for ‘Ask your library to create your list’ on the quick start screen
Libraries can display the “Ask your library to create your list” option on the quick start screen. We think it would be great if this option would be displayed in the same layout as the options “Create new list” and “Select existing list” in a box with title, image, description, and button.

Add number of comments in Library Discussion at citation level too
The Library Discussion at list level currently shows the number of comments in it from the list view. It would be useful to have the same functionality for the Library Discussion at citation level too

Show course details when selecting a list to copy a section or item to
In Leganto, when copying an item or section to another list, no course details are currently displayed. This makes it difficult or impossible to select the correct list to copy to. Some courses share the same name (and therefore the same list name) but have separate lists, such as in the case of a postgraduate offering and an undergraduate offering. Additionally, some courses may have an active list for each semester the course is offered. Other lists may share the same generic title, such as ‘Resource list’. In these cases, it is impossible to select the right list to copy…

Process and enrich citations job - additional field required
We have run the Process and Enrich citations job very occasionally to pick up URLs which may have changed but the resulting file always needs a huge amount of work because it includes loads of historical data. It would be much more useful if it included the field "Publication list visibility", so that we could filter to discover just those citations which are currently visible to our students.
We would like to run this job on a regular basis in order to proactively fix issues, even before students or instructors spot them. We think that instructors will be more likely…

Improve Leganto question and answers with a guidance note field at the bottom
We make significant use of the Leganto Item Request Question and Answer functionality, but one of the problems encountered is that there is no 'bottom' guidance note label, only a question description field at the top, i.e.
Currently you can only define:
-Question,
-a question description,
[answer options]This means there is no scope for a final note/guidance label which can be used to guide instructors in how to fill out the options and describe the next steps by the library.
Without this, all and any such consequential information has to be crammed into the 'top' question/Question description customer labels.…

Quick exit from Add items menu
In the classic UI, side-window for adding items is separate to the reading list screen. Side menu can be open and operational simultaneously as the list. It allows users to drag and drop different citations, test links and availability and etc., as they create and work on the reading lists.
In the new UI, the side-window overlays the main reading list screen and reading list becomes not clickable/editable, unless the side-window for adding items is closed.
We would like to suggest adding a feature to quickly exit out of the side pop-up menu by clicking on the left-hand side of…1 vote
