Option to use multiple multilingual logos
In Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding > Logo Upoad > 'Load Leganto header logo' you can upload the logo that's gonna be displayed in the Leganto header.
But only 1 logo can be uploaded.For institutions with different logos for different languages this is rather unfortunate
Our guess is that having more than 1 logo is not an envisaged use-case (and probably a rare one, too).
Still we would really like the ability to upload multiple logos to fit all UI languages in use.

Merge reading lists in Leganto
Being able to easily merge content from different list to one list - without Section text/info and notes. E.g. relevant if you want to get a complete picture of all of the literature being used a one semester/programme

Enable the system to give you an alert if you suppress an item on a reading list
It would be good to know when you are suppressing an item that is on a reading list so you know either not to suppress it or replace it with another copy if one is lost or missing. Similar to when you withdraw or delete an item

Add ability to filter citations with files attached in reading list view
When searching citations in Alma, one of the facets available is "File", with the options "File attached" / "File not attached". However, when viewing a reading list, this option doesn't seem to be available.
This would be useful to us to quickly identify citations on a reading list which have an attached file, for example when checking copyright for digitisations.

Quick Notifications to All Faculty
During the pandemic, we've undergone numerous changes to reserve and library policies and it is cumbersome right now to quickly reach out to all list owners. We want to be able to use Leganto to push notifications quickly and easily to all users to alert them to policy changes.

Add option for Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter to be "opt in" by default
Hello,
We had the Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter switched on, but because there is no option currently for this to be "opt in" by default rather than "opt out" by default, we have had to switch it off again. We are only in our pilot phase so may consider switching the Letter back on later when most of our staff are using Leganto RLs. But for now it's not ideal for all instructors to get notifications when they aren't using Leganto.
We don't have control over how many instructors are attached to our courses, and because of the way courses…

Find all lists for a faculty when courses are associated to subdepartments
Would it be possible to change the structure of the Academic Department table so that Faculties and associated sublevel (institutes/department) are matched together in Alma/Leganto.
When both faculties and institutes are visible in the Leganto search it creates an expectation for the user that by choosing a faculty, they will get to see reading lists for all courses within the faculty regardless of the department. However, as the courses are usually associated to the departments, they will get no results.
Because of that we have recommended that our institutions upload either faculties or departments, not both, but we think it…

Add a campus facet in list overview

Assign citation tasks to others
Tasks in the reading list tasklist have a "Reassign" option, but this isn't available for tasks in the citation tasklist.
Some of our tasklists are for specific functionalities, but others might be either a copyright request or a short loan request - these are dealt with by different teams. Our copyright person needs to be able to work through the list and assign a task to herself if it's copyright-related, but also to assign a task to a short-loan person if it's for them. (And vice versa.) This would let her clear her own view of the list so it's…

Get Course Enrolments by User API Rest Call
It would be really useful to have a REST API GET call that returns course enrolments for an individual student by providing the student ID in the request. This response should return a list of courses that the individual student is enrolled on which would then allow to drill into reading lists etc.

Add the possibility of rearrange the "Library Discussion" list in chronological order, from the newest to the oldest
Right now the list of actions displayed in the "Library Discussion" list can be viewed in chronological order, from the oldest to the newest. We ask the possibility of rearrange that list also in the inverse order, from the newest to the oldest, because we think it would be more useful to our users.

Automatic enrichment (update) of reading list citations
We are looking at using Rialto and ordering from Leganto looks to be a good option as Academics can place requests (Purchase requests) through the system. Ideally we would like the entry in Leganto to update the citation and status automatically once a bib is attached to the citation.

Allow instructors to view reading lists for courses in My Lists without being collaborator/owner of list
It should be possible in My Lists for instructors to view all courses where they are listed as an instructor and any lists associated with those courses, without being a collaborator or manually adding the courses to My Lists. Perhaps via a sub-section within My Lists e.g. My Courses, to designate those where they are a reading list owner and those where they are not.
This would be of use if the functionality to auto-add instructors as collaborators to lists was not enabled, to allow instructors to be able to see which courses they are associated to. It could also…

Related records: Show holdings for chapters only
Showing holdings in Leganto for book chapters* requires that the parameter related_record is set to Yes. An unfortunate consequence is that this also shows holdings for other types of related records, like for example a book and the associated exercise book. Holdings for both books are shown together which is of course misleading and confusing.
We would like to keep the related record parameter on, but make it so that the type of related record included in the displayed holding is more selective.
In Alma, the relation is expressed in MARC field 773 (Host Item Entry). If the second Indicator…

Different student notifications on a course-by-course or instructor-by-instructor basis
When we were setting up student notifications for Leganto, different instructors wanted different notifications sent out to students in their courses (for example, some instructors wanted students to be notified when new citations were added but others did not). However, you can only set which notifications are sent to students at the institution level, so those selections cannot be customized per course and must use the lowest common denominator. We think it would be helpful if instructors can choose on a per-course basis or a per-instructor basis (affecting all of their courses only) which notifications are sent to students.

Ability to configure citation processing rules to not generate purchase request
At the moment, the citation processing rules are configured in such a way to only enable the generation of purchase requests if the criteria of the rule are met.
It would be useful if it was possible to also create rules which could specify that a purchase request should not be generated if the criteria are met, and to be able to set the rules in order of priority. This should work in the same way as the fulfillment unit rules so that rules are worked through from top to bottom and only the first applicable rule is used; all…3 votes -
Copyright Clearance Center Annual License Integration
For institutions paying for the Copyright Clearance Center's annual license, it would be helpful if the process for checking permissions using RightFind could be integrated with Leganto. RightFind provides instructors with the ability to search for resources by title or ISBN/ISSN. The results display whether digital or photocopy sharing is permitted with a link to check pay-per-use. If instructors could see that a resource was already covered through the CCC annual license when adding citations, it would prevent the need to search in a second platform.

Hide locations from Resource Locate
Hide locations from Resource Locate
We would like an option to filter out specific locations for the resource locate functionality in Leganto.
For legal reasons we can't purge lost/discarded items, they have to remain in Alma where they are collected in locations that are suppressed from discovery so they don't show up in Primo. Unfortunately that doesn't exclude them from being used as positive results for resource locating even though they are not actually available.
We also have several collections that are not accessible to people but (some of them) show up in Primo. Those are also items we wouldn't…

Overview of readings lists in a study program
Leganto gives the possibility to
- link to a specific course (and display the list(s) associated to this course)
- get an overview of all the reading lists belonging to a specific academic departments, through their course associationThe missing link in between is the association of a smaller number of courses, belonging to the same academic department or not:
the study program.Librarians and instructors could associate courses to a study program as easily as they can associate a list to a course.
Students could search for a program in the find list interface.

Automatically set Open Access citations to complete
I'd like to propose a new functionality enabling citations that are open access to be set to "complete" (semi-)automatically.
Having to go through all open citations and checking each for possible open access is a cumbersome and time consuming effort we (the library) would like to simplify.
An "[ ] Open Access" checkbox within the Add Item menu, the citation and for Cite It! would enable instructors to do so themselves with little additional work on their side.
