Add an Unselect all citation button to the Leganto userface
An Unselect All citations button is needed. There are currently 2 ways to unselect citations which you have edited:
- Use the 'Select all' checkbox, which then changes to 'Deselect all'.
- Close the actions bar using the X, which also clears the selection.
If you have moved one or more citations up or down the list, it is very easy to forget to unselect a citation, before starting to select another citation to move it. It should not be necessary to have to close the actions bar between actions. An Unselect All button is a feature which instructors are familiar with…

Provide accurate Citation Type data in Purchase Requests
The purchase request records created by the new Purchase Request Workflow introduced in June 2026 include the requestor's choice of physical or electronic format. But they may not accurately reflect the choice of Citation Type made in Leganto. This is because the resulting Purchase Request has only two Citation Types: Book and Journal. If the submitted request is for one of those two types, then they are accurately reflected in the Purchase Request processed by Acquisitions staff. But if any other Citation Type is selected in Leganto, such as an article, video, or music score, it is not accurately reflected…

Ability to edit/streamline clipboard Leganto Task List
The current Leganto Task List includes items that are not tasks - they are completed. We'd like to be able to config/edit this display so that only actual tasks ie. 'processing' and 'ready for processing' are displayed.

Improve "Leganto identify deleted eresources" job in Alma by displaying provider information from where the resource has been deleted, pres
Whilst it is great to have the new "Leganto identify deleted eresources" job as a tool to highlight such deletes, the report should detail provider information from where the resource has been deleted and if the citation possesses any other inventory. At the moment, this report details:
- citation tile
- portfolio ID (which is no longer relevant as it will have been deleted once the report is generated)
- course code
- reading list ID
- reading list name
- citation IDThis means that there is a need to investigate each line in the report to see if:…

Allow institutions to configure the order of list creation options on the LMS quick start screen
(NOTE: This idea is piggybacking off of LENH-I-6142, an enhancement request submitted by Kingston University in London, which did not receive enough votes in Round 1 to be sent to Ex Libris).
When the AI syllabus assistant is enabled for instructors, this option appears as the first (and largest) tile on the quick start screen. While we would like to eventually introduce this option to faculty, we'd prefer more of a soft launch approach that leaves the two standard existing options (create list and roll over list) as the most prominent/default workflow, while establishing the syllabus assistant tile as an…

Allow individual course rollover within Alma
At the moment there are two methods for course rollover:
Bulk course rollover via the integration profile and FTP
Instructor rollover within LegantoWe have not enabled instructor rollover, as we only want library staff to perform rollover tasks. As a result, we rely solely on the bulk rollover method, which becomes laborious when we only need to process individual courses. Being able to rollover individual courses within Alma would offer the option of only allowing Library staff to rollover individual courses.

The possibility of adding and removing tags in bulk from a citation result search
In Alma> citation search:
Sometimes you have several citations that need to have added or removed the same tag. Now, you need to open every single citation or run a job.
It would be a nice workflow if there was an action to tick-off and add a tag in bulk from the search result display just like we’re able to remove alerts in bulk.13 votes -
allow public annotations by instructor to rollover
instructors use the "class discussion" tab to highlight and annotate certain important sections of a text, however when they reading list is rolled over to another term or course, all the annotations are lost. The instructor does not want to add them in every year.

Clicking on 'Full details' should take you directly to the 'Details' tab
When clicking on 'Full details', you are directed to the 'Links and availability' tab, whereas you should be taken directly to the 'Details' tab AND not have to click on 'More item details' once in the Details tab.
When clicking on 'View online', you are taken to the 'Links and availability' tab (which makes sense), so one would expect that clicking on 'Full details' would take you to the 'Details' tab. Most likely, this is what users want when selecting 'Full details' instead of actually clicking on the link.

Librarians' filter for 'null' tags on Alma and Leganto
A lot of the libraries here use the library-internal tags to set stages in the life-cycle of citations on a reading list. However, it is not possible currently to filter - either on Alma or Leganto - to citations with no tags. It would be great if it were possible for Librarians to filter for items with no tags on Alma and Leganto, which would therefore probably need some library intervention of some sort.

Allow the Unpaywall link label to be modified (parity with primo ?)
With respect to the options of using Unpaywall integrations/collections in Leganto, we would like more control of the links which appear - specifically the label.
For some citations in Leganto the display of the services in links and availability differs from Alma - e.g.
search for article "Maher, Patrick, A review of 'traditional' Aboriginal health beliefs" add to list.
Direct linking settings and libkey integration mean the brief view shows a "View Online" and "Download PDF" service.If we hide those for clarity, and following the View online to see all [active] services in links and availability, the unusual "Online…

Preserve Scroll Position After Bulk Actions
When performing bulk actions on the citations list (e.g., selecting multiple citations and updating their status via the Citation Status menu), the page currently refreshes and automatically scrolls back to the top of the list. This forces users to manually find their previous position, which slows down workflows, especially when reviewing long lists.
Proposed Improvement:-
Implement a method to preserve the user’s scroll position after bulk actions. Possible approaches include
-Maintaining scroll position after the list refreshes.
-Updating only the modified items instead of reloading the full page.User Impact:-
-Reduces repetitive scrolling.
-Less disruptive when reviewing large reading lists13 votes -
Allow libraries to customise Leganto-Rialto purchase workflow so that citation status auto-completes upon checkout
We would love to make use of the recently introduced 'rialtopurchasecomplete' parameter, where we can configure citation status to be automatically updated when the purchase workflow is complete. However, this workflow is only considered complete in the system when an ebook is activated or a print book has been receipted. We see the citation status as an indicator of tasks that need action, and once we have placed an order for a book, we have completed the action we needed to take and will immediately mark the citation as complete, regardless of the status of the order (this…

Automatic refresh on embedded reading list / citation (on Canvas) when updated in Leganto
When a citation is updated for an already published reading list, which is embedded in the LMS (Canvas) as a Reading List or embedded item, the Canvas citation isn't updated. This means the citations aren't updated in Canvas. This should be automatically refreshed if the citation is updated.

Different default section views
Following user testing, we set our sections as collapsed by default.
However, some lists have only one section, and when going into such lists it can look very odd to land on a single collapsed section. It would be a lovely little enhancement if you could set that Lists with >1 section have collapsed by default and lists with only one section are default expanded. (I'm aware that lists can have individual defaults set, but I don't think many users are aware of this despite training and documentation!)4 votes -
Run Resource Locate process automatically upon purchase of an item
I would find it very useful if, after purchasing a book from a citation (via the 'Search in market' workflow in Alma/Rialto), the Resource Locate process would automatically run and update to indicate the new record in our repository. Currently this workflow links the order to the citation so it does reflect the inventory there, which is great, but it does not actually run the resource-locate, so this is something that has to be cleaned up manually to ensure the status is accurate and this field can be used consistently to indicate holdings.
We are short on staff/time and find…3 votes -
Toggle between instructor and library view
With the introduction of the library view, library staff also need quick and easy access to the instructor view:
- to demonstrate/train instructors
- to produce training materials for instructors
- to test new configuration changes
We really like the easy toggle transition between student/staff views and would like to see something similar between library/instructor views.

Allow "on-the-fly" tagging by instructors
Many instructors want to group their readings in a variety of ways - by week, but also by category specific to the needs of the particular course. It would be very useful for instructors to be able to create and apply custom tags to citations and that they can reuses as they need without requiring the need for staff intervention on the Alma configuration side.

Allow institutions to configure the maximum number of citations on a list after which sections will be collapsed by default
It would be useful if we could configure the number of citations on a reading list over which the sections will be collapsed by default. The system setting is that any list over 100 items will be collapsed as default view, and we have the setsectionview parameter set to 'Yes' to allow default view to be manually overridden on a list by list basis, but we'd like there to be something in between that kicks in automatically, so shorter lists will still be expanded (which saves staff/students having to make extra clicks to view the full list) but…
