  1. 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'…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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" job

    Example: 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Allow Library-External tags to be configured in 'Instructor Rollover Operations'

    In the new UI, we can configure settings for list duplication/rollover, including citation tags. But currently there are only parameters for Instructor-Library tags, Library-Internal tags and Public tags.

    Library-External tags are not included in this config table and when I asked in a support call I was advised these tags do not copy over and I should raise an Idea to ask for them to be added.

    Please add a parameter for Library-External tags; it is inconsistent to allow us to configure all other tags but have no control over these. Currently our tags that indicate 'Electronic Unavailable' (indicating we…

  8. 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…

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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'.

  13. 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…

  14. 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…

  16. New general setting for enabling/disabling multiple lists per course

    There's a general Leganto setting for multicourse_lists "Whether to enable multiple courses for reading lists: enabled, disabled."

    We would like to add the converse option: enable/disable multi-list courses. By disabling multi-lists per course, only one list could be made for each course via the Leganto interface.

    The reason we would like this is to allow instructors to create new lists via Leganto (rather than only by LTI) but not allow them to associate multiple lists per course as this has a negative impact on the embedded LTI view and the way that courses/lists display in the Primo VE full record…

  17. Quick exit from Add items menu

    In the classic UI, side-window for adding items is separate to the reading list screen. Side menu can be open and operational simultaneously as the list. It allows users to drag and drop different citations, test links and availability and etc., as they create and work on the reading lists.

    In the new UI, the side-window overlays the main reading list screen and reading list becomes not clickable/editable, unless the side-window for adding items is closed.
    We would like to suggest adding a feature to quickly exit out of the side pop-up menu by clicking on the left-hand side of…

  19. Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally

    Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally
    In other areas the total for a category e.g. Order lines the total in the blue header is a tally of the items listed below e.g for Orders = Package + Renew + Claim.
    However for Reading list figure does not tally with the entries below it which is confusing.
    (In fact the entries add up to more than the total.)
    This is because the Category ‘Unassigned’ actually is the total of 2 entries listed further down ‘Unassigned – processing’ and ‘Unassigned Complete’ and so these are not included in tally.…

  20. Show 'other editions available' to students

    We have a large network of libraries, often with different editions of the same title. Unfortunately on Leganto, there isn't anything that would alert students to other editions of the same work being available to them in another library (often a college library, in our case, or other faculty libraries). This option does appear, after a fashion, in Library view (Full details -> related items -> other versions). It would be very helpful for there to be an alert on a citation in student view which would let a student know that although edition X only has one copy, there…
