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.

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 -
Academic department and School/faculty a facet for Reading lists and citation search
Make School/faculty a facet on Course, Reading list and Citation search results
Make Academic department a facet on citation search resultsSince the possibility of saving queries was made available for search results for courses, reading lists and citation trimming with facets for sets and jobs are relevant for mass updates

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 -
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…

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…2 votes -
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…

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.

Posibilidad de reemplazar el ítem sugerido por Syllabus con IA/Option to Replace the Item Suggested by Syllabus AI
Sería interesante que luego de que la IA reconoce que un ítem está en biblioteca, el docente pueda reemplazarlo por otro.
Contexto: tenemos el mismo título pero en diferentes sedes (catalogados como ítems diferentes) y los docentes quieren elegir el que prefieren.It would be useful if, after the AI identifies that an item is available in the library, the instructor could replace it with a different one.
Context: We hold the same title across different campus locations (cataloged as distinct items), and instructors wish to select the specific copy they prefer.

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

Expand Cross Ref Link resolver to include article subtitle
We have encountered cases wherein the Leganto articles do not resolve to the correct article; instead, they link to another article with the same title. After consultation with Ex Libris, this linking error was determined to occur for articles with duplicate titles because the CrossRef DOI enrichment for the linking parsers only uses the title as a match point.
Currently, addressing these errors requires Ex Libris intervention to make an exception for the citation. To prevent these errors in the future without one-off exceptions, we request an expansion of the CrossRef augmentation logic to include the subtitles.

Display the "Add Citation" button as citations are added to a Reading List in ALMA
We propose that the "Add Citation" option within a Reading List in ALMA become fixed (visible to the editor) as the editor adds citations.
Currently, in lists with many citations, the editor must return to the top of the List to continue adding citations.
It would be helpful to make the "Add Citation" option more accessible to avoid constantly scrolling back to the top.

Configuration option to automatically remove tags depending on the citation status
Some tags in Leganto are only used to trigger or label library workflows, e.g. purchase requests and digitization. If a citation with such a tag is set to complete, the workflow is also completed, and the tag is therefore no longer required. At the moment, these tags can only be removed manually. We would like to have the option to configure that such tags are automatically removed when the citation is set to ‘Complete’ or another citation status defined by the library.

Show course details when selecting a list to copy a section or item to
In Leganto, when copying an item or section to another list, no course details are currently displayed. This makes it difficult or impossible to select the correct list to copy to. Some courses share the same name (and therefore the same list name) but have separate lists, such as in the case of a postgraduate offering and an undergraduate offering. Additionally, some courses may have an active list for each semester the course is offered. Other lists may share the same generic title, such as ‘Resource list’. In these cases, it is impossible to select the right list to copy…

Add PNX record to citation data
Troubleshooting Leganto links is more helpful when staff can understand where the record originates or is pulled from. Leganto allows staff members to search by PNX record ID and the Alma MMS ID. However, when broken links are reported, this information is not shared in the citation metadata.
Adding this data to the process would help ensure that staff can compare the correct items when troubleshooting broken links. While we know there is a citation origin field in Leganto Analytics, it would be more effective to go a step further and have an option like a bookmarklet that can be…

Don't include deleted citations in analytics reports
I regularly work from quite long Leganto analytics reports to tidy up data and correct any errors in citation records. One thing that is very frustrating and wastes quite a lot of time is that citations which I can only presume have been deleted appear in such reports. I'm not sure why they should appear if they have been deleted (or the list they appear on has been deleted) but it would be great if the analytics reports could be tweaked so that such citation IDs no longer appear. Either that or at least have an option to exclude them.
