Allow more color customization in branding in new UI
Like many schools, we have a centralized brand guide and we are supposed to use those colors in design and interfaces whenever possible. The new UI color choices do not match the school branding and are far enough off that it will look odd to end users. A system where we could choose either preset colors or to customize by specifying hex color codes would be a much better fit for us.

Digitization request form in Leganto: add configuration options
As of now, the digitization request form used in the Leganto UI cannot be configured. We think that it would be a useful enhancement if libraries were able to enable and disable fields as well as define the number of note fields and page range fields such as it is the case for the digitization request form in Primo VE.

Questions should not be triggered when items are added from reference management systems
We defined questions that are triggered when a citation is added that has no inventory. Now we have the problem that these questions are always triggered when a user adds items from a reference management system (Mendeley, Zotero, …), even if the library actually owns inventory for these items. This happens because the resource locate process is not initiated when adding items from a reference management system.
The best scenario would of course be that the questions in the “add from reference management system” flow are only triggered when an item is added that meets the criteria. As this scenario…8 votes -
Add list reminder letter to Analytics
We use the Leganto list reminder letter in advance of each main teaching period to contact Unit Coordinators and ask them to submit their reading lists. We also report on the number of reading lists submitted compared to the number we communicated with. To do this, we manually keep a record of which courses we sent the list reminder letter for and match that to an analytics report. We would like the list reminder letter to be added to Analytics so that we can pull it as a field with other Course Reserves data. For example 'list reminder letter sent'…

Add Leganto questions for Favorites
Currently the Leganto question feature is not available for items added from the Favorites to a reading list. It would be a useful enhancement if the appropriate questions would be displayed for items added this way.

Allow HTML in the new UI label 'copyright_clearance_header' (digitisation request form)
The digitisation request form (CLA) has a description field underneath the main header, called 'copyright _ clearance _ header' in the new UI labels. It would be helpful if HTML could be entered in this field to direct users to more information about digitisation services.

More frequent notifications for Library Discussion Notes
Library Discussion Notes are a great way to communicate with faculty about the status of resources cited in reading lists. However, notifications about new notes are only delivered once per day at midnight using the detailed notifications letter. This delays response times. A more frequent schedule for Library Discussion Notes, such as hourly, would be much more efficient and useful for faculty and staff.

Add parameter "no list expected" to make sets and global changes to courses via "Course bulk update" job
A few monts ago, Alma added the option "no list expected" to the courses. This parameter can only be searched through Analytics, but we want to:
-make it available in Alma to refine searches when making sets.
-be an option to make global changes to courses in the "course bulk update" jobExample: I want to make a set with all courses that belong to an academic department and the parameter "no list expected" is unchecked.
Then, I want to make global changes to mark "no list expected" in all courses of this set.42 votes -
Leganto Link Marked As Broken Letter - include reporting user metadata
It would be helpful if the user who reported a broken citation link was included in the Leganto Link Marked As Broken Letter XML. That way, we could include it in the email staff receive. It would save time and effort, compared to looking this information up in the Alma alert.

Leganto Questions: add an option to configure optional note fields
When adding answers to a Leganto question, it is possible to include a free text field in which additional information can be added. If such a free text field is configured, it becomes automatically mandatory. We have use cases in which we would need an optional note field, so that the instructor can decide if it is necessary to provide more information. Therefore, we would appreciate if a configuration option would be added in the Item Request Answer table which would allow the library to set the free text field optional or mandatory.

Make adding a student note more visible in the 'Add & Edit' workflow in the new UI
In the Classic UI instructors could see a field to add Student notes as soon as they click 'Add and Edit', now when instructors select this the screen opens on an Item details tab that enables them to edit the metadata - an activity that instructors rarely do, and to add a student note they need to click in to the 'Item actions' tab, which is not intuitive to navigate at all.
We would like the 'Add & Edit' workflow to default to opening on the item actions tab as this is where the activities that are a priority to…10 votes -

Re-associating courses to reading lists with digitisations
When there is digitisation on a list you cannot easily reassociate it to another string code if needed, the workaround is quite time-consuming involving editing the course in Alma and then doing the usual editing in the DCS.

Bulk Update for reading list sections
It would be useful if we could run a bulk update job on certain sections - for example if we need to re-name them, add a description, or remove them.
A use case for this is that we have sections on many reading lists naming a certain supplier of eTextbooks, and we would like to change this to just 'Digital Textbook' and be vendor-neutral. This will have to be done manually for 630 lists and it would be much better to do it in one job.
Similarly, now we cannot add section descriptions to templates in the new UI, this…

Public annotations toggle - change default to 'off'
When allowcitationpublic_annotation = true the toggle 'Public Annotations on/off' is displayed (good).
Unfortunately it's also set to 'on' by default which makes plublic annotations by students possible without the list creator intending this (not good).Features like this should be opt-in, not activated by default.
We are asking for the default setting to be changed to 'off'.8 votes -
Deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists
We would like to have the possibility to deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists.
Some of these types of filters are not relevant for us.For Examples:
CITATION FILTERS:
- DUE DATE: no due date in our workflows. Once published, lists and citations have to be always available to our patrons.
- STATUS: citation status are related to the activities carry out by librarians, instructors don’t need to see them
LIST FILTERS:
- COURSE STATUS: the distinction between active and inactive course is not relevant for us
- LIST TYPE: we automatically create…45 votes -
Option to associate multiple courses for instructor rollover
Currently, instructors can only associate more than one course to a list after the list has been initially rolled over. To improve this, please add an option to associate multiple courses before the list is rolled over. This is available in the course loader integration for rollovers, so it should be available for instructor rollovers as well. For example, when the ‘Create a new list’ screen appears in Leganto after the instructor chooses the rollover list option, there should be an option to add more than one course: https://app.screencast.com/ESITnAmHSZ5eL This feature should be configurable to accommodate institutions that may not…

View lists assigned to me in Leganto
When viewing lists in Leganto, it would be beneficial for library staff to easily see all the lists assigned to them in Alma along with an indicator or filter for lists that are incomplete. Currently, library staff see lists where they are the owner/collaborator, lists they've added to 'My lists' or they can search 'All lists', yet there is no way to know which lists have been assigned to them in Alma (nor which lists require attention). For ease of processing, there should be an option in Leganto for library staff to set the default view of lists assigned to…
