Make the workflow-note deletable
At the moment there is no way to get rid of the workflow-note created by Leganto Questions. Neither by hand nor via job.
Ex Libris told us that this is by design, but to us this creates issues as we can't create "to do" reports in Analytics based on a note we can't delete after the job was done.
It also does not improve the already cluttered 'Edit Citations' screen.
Additionally it is possible to delete the corresponding tag (Citation > Edit > Tags > Tag type: Workflow) which contradicts the "by design" statement.
We are therefore asking Ex Libris…

Course create dates from CMS Moodle- Leganto Chat
When an instructor creates a new course from Moodle, the start and end date of the course is the same and it coincides with the course creation date.
We would like the instructor, when creating a new course from Moodle, to be able to choose the start and end date of the course

Multiple assignees per list
Some institutions would like the possibility to have several assigned librarians per lists.
"We have many lists common to several campuses, and it will only increase in the future. In order to have a local overview, the campus libraries would like to be able to see the lists that are relevant to their campus. As of today this is difficult, as one one librarian can be assigned a list. We need to rely on manual processes (forwarding lists, and having manual overviews over which lists are for multiple campuses). This is difficult to maintain."75 votes -
Automatic status depending on file upload and copyright clearance
We've configured Leganto so when a file is uploaded the copyright status goes to Waiting for Approval, and the citation status shows as In Process. On the other hand when an instructor creates a citation which has a full text link available, the citation will automatically be Complete. This covers the simple cases: a citation with only a link is ready for students to use immediately, and a citation without a link needs the instructor to upload a file which they then need to request copyright clearance for.
But it doesn't support our copyright requirements for more complex cases. Eg…

Additional copyright rule parameters
Currently we can create a copyright rule with a parameter "Publisher" so we could automatically block or approve copyright clearance requests based on the publisher.
The copyright licensing body in New Zealand provides a list of titles excluded from the licensing scheme. Some of these are defined by publisher, but others are defined by title specifically, by ISBN, or by author. It would be useful for us to create rules based on title, ISBN, or author to block our other copyright rules from automatically clearing copyright in these cases.

Publish electronic records without inventory as e-book and not physical book
We are a consortium, and we have a certain number of e-book records without inventory in our network zone. Deleting these records is not an option for us for various reasons.
The expected Alma behavior for such records if there is no inventory is to publish as physical. It applies to both Primo and Leganto.
Use case: an instructor uses the expanded search to check for newer edition of a book they have previously used in a reading list. They add what seems to be a newer physical edition from 2020. In reality, the record is an e-book published as…

Make Primo's related records indicator available for Leganto
When setting the "primo availability for citations added from primo" parameter to false, related records are displayed for citations in Leganto.
In theory this is great - for books and their ebook version as those are more or less the same thing.
Where it gets problematic are cases where a textbook and its corresponding exercise book are related. Leganto just mixes the inventory without giving any indication that not all holdings are for the actual title (screenshot).
Primo has a good solution for this - they added a header after the 'real' inventory and listed the related inventory below that.…

Add ability to sort/filter citations by date created/modified in Leganto
In Alma we can sort and filter citations on a reading list by date but it isn't currently possible to do this in Leganto.
We only check new citations on reading lists when reviewing, and use the Leganto interface to do our checks. This means staff have to sort and filter the list in Alma and then click "View in Leganto" one at a time, which isn’t an efficient use of staff time and can be frustrating on long lists with many new citations.
We would like the option to view the citations on a list by date last modified…

Improving the in-list searching in Leganto
When searching for a specific citation in Leganto, there are instances where no results are returned. We recently noticed this happening if the search is mis-spelled, shortened or if a special character is used. This happens even if the special character is in the title of the item.
It appears to be a very specific search, almost working like a Ctrl+F function rather than being flexible. We use the in-list search function a lot, so it would be great if this could be more flexible to allow for these types of instances.6 votes -
Reading list comments - alerts removed if comments are deleted
We receive notification when a comment has been made to a reading list, in both Alma in the Recent Changes tab and in the Reading List Notification (bell).
However, if the comment is subsequently deleted by the student or instructor no notification is given. We have wasted time searching for comments that do not exist. It would be great to know a comment has been deleted.1 vote -
Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status
Idea based on SalesForce case 00938590
TLDR: Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status.
In Leganto, there are two ways of initiating a rollover:
A: Directly in the Leganto interface by staff or instructors
B: Via a Course Loading Integration Profile in AlmaWhen a rollover is initiated through the Leganto interface, it follows certain rules set in the system (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Instructor Rollover Operations). If «Citation statuses» is set to “Recalculate”, the rollover process treats all the citations as if they were new and consults the…

Allow multiple tags to be added to a Leganto Questions response
Currently you can only add one tag per response to a Leganto Question. We would like to be able to add multiple tags per response to improve messaging for our users.
As an example, we use Leganto Questions to ask if a print book is key/essential reading, and add a "Key reading" tag if it is. If a print book is key reading on a list we will also start a process to buy an ebook, and we'd like to add a second tag to reflect this.
This change would help academic staff to see which items on a list…

Information displayed in Recent Changes of Reading List
When I delete a citaiton from the reading list, I can see the information about the deleted citaiton from the "Recent Changes" tab of the Reading List in Alma, but I can't see any information other than Title.
It would be nice to have more detailed citation information (such as ISBN, ISSN and MMS ID) to identify what citations have been removed.14 votes -
Can course codes information be sorted from newest to oldest when using Manage Course Association/Rollover a list
In Leganto, an instructor needs to look up a course when trying to ‘Manage course association’ or ‘Rollover’ a list to a course; however, the course codes information is listed in order from oldest to newest.
The sorting is inconvenient for them as, in most cases, instructors tend to locate the latest course. We think it will help the instructors if the course information should be default in the order from the most recent course.

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…

Add a librarian/reviewer field to Reading List in Alma
We would like to have a possibility to add information about librarian/reviewer (a person who is responsible for processing the list) or list coordinator (someone who distributes/assigns lists to reviewers in a particular department) to reading list in Alma. It should be an editable field, available for rollover, and visible in Analytics in Course Reserves Subject Area.
In the future this information can be used to configure the following auto-assign-workflow: when the list owner sends a list to the library, the list changes its status to Ready for processing, Reviewer/Coordinator is activated as an assignee, and a message about auto-assign…

Quick Notifications to All Faculty

Allow Leganto to display different general messages to different user groups
Leganto February 2021 release included an Ideas Exchange introducing:
“Two new parameters allow you to define when and to whom the value in the general message parameter will display…The new generalmessagerole parameter allows you to specify that the value in the general_message parameter will display only for the user role indicated”The University of New South Wales welcomes this enhancement. We believe that the ability to display a different message simultaneously in both Leganto Instructor and Student environments improves this communication functionality further.
This provides the benefit of varying the wording of messages aimed at differing target groups.…
