  1. Report of instructors having opted in or out for notifications

    In Leganto, instructors can opt in or out to receive email notifications on events. In order to know to what degree we can rely on these for communications (and under what circumstances we need to approach the instructor by other means) we would like to create a report in Analytics (or in Alma) to see which instructors have opted in or out.

  2. Hide resource locate on article citations

    The Resource Locate function appears in Row Actions List in Alma for article citations. Articles do not need to be located, just resolved. The default behavior (when not resource located) is that the URESOLVER applies the date restrictions. Portfolios falling outside of the holdings period for that specific journal are filtered out.

    However, when resource located, the citation is viewed as a journal and shows all portfolios attached to the journal's bib. record. In order to prevent this from happening, we suggest the resource locate option be hidden in Alma for this type of citation.

  3. Improve searching for citations in Leganto list view

    Searching for citations in Leganto can sometimes show inaccurate and unexpected results.

    For example, if someone tries to use "" to search for an exact phrase, it won't bring up results because "" isn't supported as a search operator. Or, if a book title has a )/?/-/./( in it, including that character in your search won't bring up the book. There is also no support for partial matching on words, e.g. "manage" won't bring up "management".

    This causes confusion for users if they don't understand why results are being affected and can't find resources. We would like searching to be…

  4. Enable configuration of more term code options

    It would be useful for us to be able to configure more than the current maximum of 99 different term codes. We have nearly 200 different term configurations.

  5. Limit the number of times an importance tag can be used on a reading list

    We would find it very useful to set a limit on the number of times a tag can be used on a list – for example to configure tags so that only one item per reading list can be tagged as Core. We use this tag to flag items requested for our eTextbook Programme and this would help us avoid the issue of multiple Core-tagged items.

  6. Add a campus facet in list overview

  7. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
