  1. Introduce a specific message for lists that have not yet been published and for which the library review has been completed

    In the following scenario, a specific message for the instructors is missing in the Leganto user interface:
    An instructor sends a list to the library for review without publishing it to the students. The message “The library is reviewing your list. Your list is not yet visible to students. To publish or send additional changes, click on "My list is ready" to notify the library.” is displayed in the banner on top of the list. The library completes the review and sets the list to “complete” status. In the UI the same message is still displayed.
    We expect the instructor…

  2. Add RefWorks as an export option to the favourites area

    Currently there is no option to export items from favourites directly to RefWorks like you can from other citations. Our users would find this useful as we subscribe to RefWorks.

  3. 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

  4. Display Waiting for Approval Copyright Status in Citations

    When viewing a citation in Leganto that is awaiting copyright approval, the status is not visible in the list or brief view. Users must open the full details and navigate to the item actions tab to see this information. Additionally, if a citation is incomplete, it shows as ‘Library is processing,’ which only reflects the citation status, not the copyright status.

    Please add a visible indicator in the list and brief view of citations to show the ‘Copyright is waiting for approval’ status. The status should also be available as a filter in the list.

  5. Customise DCS tags

    The DCS is the UK's digital content store.
    Currently the wording on DCS tags in Leganto is hardcoded. We would like the wording on these tags to be customisable.

    Use case - when a digitisation request is placed in Leganto a 'Digitisation in Progress' tag is displayed in Leganto. This can be misleading to instructors as the digitised request may not be covered by the CLA licence and the wording implies the library is working on the digitisation. A much better wording on this tag is 'Digitisation Requested'.

  6. Mass update on citations

    For example, if you have a new edition, you have to go in to each citation individually and update it. It would be much easier if we could select the citations we needed and be able to do an update of them all of them at once.

  7. 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.…

  8. Add Springshare LibChat chat widget to Leganto new UI

    A large number of Leganto libraries are also Springshare chat users. It would be very helpful to be able to integrate the LibChat widget on the new Leganto UI. In Primo VE this is done by via the customisation package, but it would be helpful if it was enabled as a config option within Alma to enable customers to input their Springshare chat widget ID within a hard coded optional interface feature.

  9. Add purchase request to «Library Services”

    At our institution, the instructors have difficulties figuring out how to make a purchase request. We use Leganto questions to make it easier for them, but this works only for some of the ways you can add items in Leganto. Our users assume that the purchase request is in the same location as the digitization request, i.e. under “Library Services” in the “Item actions” tab and as prominent link when the brief view of a citation is open (see print screen), but without instructions it does not occur to them that they have to set a tag for the purchase…

  10. 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…

  11. More detailed 'Recent Changes' tab

    The number of changes recorded in the Recent Changes tab is limited. We'd like to see a complete log of changes in the reading list. For example, we'd like to see if a comment in the Library Discussion has been deleted (and in what citation). Also possibly if a citation has been located to a different MMSID. In Alma and Analytics we can see the Last Modification date and Modified By, but we do not know what the modification was unless it is recorded in Recent Changes.

  13. 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…

  14. NEW UI: Leganto cover thumbnail size in the new UI

    Sometimes, Instructors are in trouble when trying to identify the correct citation to manage. It would be helpful if the thumbnails of the books' cover for the instructor view would be bigger.

  15. Leganto Refresh This Page

    The ‘Refresh this page’ function in the old Leganto interface allowed you to refresh a long list with collapsed sections and would return the list with the sections still collapsed and only the section you were working on open.

    This option has gone from the NUI. If you use the browser refresh, the list reopens without the sections collapsed. This is extremely disruptive to the workflow of staff and leads to time wasted and confusion in finding the part of the list that was being worked on.

    Please can the 'Refresh this page' function be restored?

  16. Allow advanced search of Citations and editing of individual citations within a set of citations

    I frequently look for citations meeting certain criteria - simple like recently added Books on active lists, on published lists, where the book is essential. To do that I have to go select all citations, sort it by last created, choose the filters, active, published. I then look at a couple to e.g. see if there is a newer edition. If I want to continue with the same project, I have to recreate all the steps.

    It is impossible to create a query with two filters from the same group, e.g. Material type books or Book chapters or Citation tags…

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
