Display logo and favicon in the Leganto configuration area
When we upload a header logo and/or a Leganto favicon, it doesn't show in the configuration area. Having it there would improve the experience because it would be easy to see if you had uploaded a logo/icon or not, and which one it was.
This isn't a huge problem, but it also seems like it could have a simple solution - just display the file and filename in the Alma config.

Show or hide individual General Electronic Services in Leganto
It is currently possible to control when General Electronic services display in Primo / Primo VE using Display Logic Rules. However, these rules only allow you to make decisions based on data in the record being displayed.
It would be good to have parameters in the Display Logic Rules that would allow showing or hiding a service based on which display the record is being displayed in (Primo VE vs Leganto).
In many cases, we want some of the Primo GES's to appear in Leganto, but not all of them. In the current setup, we don't have the granularity to…

Enable selection of multiple RLs when adding a resource
Some times the same record / resource needs to be added to multiple reading lists. Currently it is possible to be done one at a time, by checking each time just one RL (radio button). It will be much more effective to change it so that more than one could be selected (check box).

Add a librarian/reviewer field to Reading List in Alma
We would like to have a possibility to add information about librarian/reviewer (a person who is responsible for processing the list) or list coordinator (someone who distributes/assigns lists to reviewers in a particular department) to reading list in Alma. It should be an editable field, available for rollover, and visible in Analytics in Course Reserves Subject Area.
In the future this information can be used to configure the following auto-assign-workflow: when the list owner sends a list to the library, the list changes its status to Ready for processing, Reviewer/Coordinator is activated as an assignee, and a message about auto-assign…

Course display - current number of enrolled students
The "Number of participants" field is meant to be a place where library staff can enter how many students are expected to be in a course. However, that field doesn't update unless staff manually update it. For libraries loading course enrollments, the actual number can change day to day.
It is possible to find the current number of students in a course if you enable the 'Students' tab for the course display in Alma. However, some libraries may not want to make student enrollment information available to everyone who has an Alma login.
It would be helpful if the current…

Support file copy options for reference manager integrations
Leganto does not provide options for uploading files to reading lists via the reference manager integrations (specifically Zotero) and instead shows attached files from Zotero collections as separate citations. It would improve the experience of instructors if the reference manager integrations would allow files to be attached to imported citations, rather than having to reattach those files in the reading list.

Real time integration for course updates between Blackboard and Alma/Leganto
A real time integration between the VLE system Blackboard and Alma/Leganto would be beneficial to allow course information to be updated instantaneously within Alma/Leganto, without having to wait for the next course load to run.
Although APIs are available for creating and updating courses, these require local set up and resource. It would be beneficial if standard integrations could be developed for course updates directly between the most commonly used systems e.g. Blackboard, meaning that when a change is made to a course in the VLE this is then automatically reflected in Alma and Leganto.
This would also be useful…

Automatic enrichment (update) of reading list citations
We are looking at using Rialto and ordering from Leganto looks to be a good option as Academics can place requests (Purchase requests) through the system. Ideally we would like the entry in Leganto to update the citation and status automatically once a bib is attached to the citation.

Allow Leganto to display different general messages to different user groups
Leganto February 2021 release included an Ideas Exchange introducing:
“Two new parameters allow you to define when and to whom the value in the general message parameter will display…The new generalmessagerole parameter allows you to specify that the value in the general_message parameter will display only for the user role indicated”The University of New South Wales welcomes this enhancement. We believe that the ability to display a different message simultaneously in both Leganto Instructor and Student environments improves this communication functionality further.
This provides the benefit of varying the wording of messages aimed at differing target groups.…

List filter: Move Notes from 'Types' to 'Subject'
The Filter tab contains four different categories: Section, Tag, Type, Subject.
Notes are sorted in 'Type' even though they are not a type of citation. Ideally they should be sorted in 'Subject'1 vote -
Importance tags - limit to one per citation
We use importance tags to inform our purchasing, but often encounter citations which have been given multiple tags. We would find it useful to be able to configure the system to allow only one importance tag per citation.

course terms - change code to correspond with description
We are about to start using Terms in Leganto. However, we have seen that you can only change the description of TERM1 etc. not the code. Therefore it is very confusing to remember TERM1 is All Year or TERM9 is Short Module - Spring. This will be difficult to work with when creating the course loader files for the annual rollover. It would be much better if you could change the code as well as the description in the course terms mapping table, so they match.

Limit the number of times an importance tag can be used on a reading list
We would find it very useful to set a limit on the number of times a tag can be used on a list – for example to configure tags so that only one item per reading list can be tagged as Core. We use this tag to flag items requested for our eTextbook Programme and this would help us avoid the issue of multiple Core-tagged items.

section permalinks in Analytics or API
We currently manually adding permalinks to Insendi, which is a VLE that Imperial staff have created and are selling to other universities. Some Imperial staff want to put specific section permalinks into specific weekly VLE posts. It would be better, if we could give them a list of permalinks from a Analytics or API export.

Add fields "Date Sent For Library Review Month" / "Date Sent For Library Review Month Key" to the RL dimension in SA Course Reserves
One of our libraries uses additional conditions in Analytics based on "Date Sent For Library Review" in SA Course Reserves. This to be able to change background color depending on when the reading list was sent to the library. It helps them more easily prioritize the follow-up work on the lists.
There is no Month column/field in Reading List dimension table that can be used with Date Sent For Library Review. The only Month and Month Key fields available in Course Reserves subject area are for citations and courses (in Reading List Citation Create Date, Current Course Start Date and…

Filter / Remove 'notes' from material type filter
Notes are not a type of citations and shouldn't be grouped with books, journals, articles, websites, etc.
They could easily be moved to filter-group that contains due dates and likes.1 vote -
Add courses to User API
We have a regular feed of user data from our student information system (SIS) into Alma. The SIS also holds course data, so we'd like to be able to simply include course enrolment data in the existing feed, rather than set up a separate process.
As well as one process being better than two :-) it's a more practical fit to how the data is available. The current process for course enrolment in Leganto requires us to run one job for added courses and one job for deleted courses. But our SIS can't create a list of courses that have…

Report of instructors having opted in or out for notifications
In Leganto, instructors can opt in or out to receive email notifications on events. In order to know to what degree we can rely on these for communications (and under what circumstances we need to approach the instructor by other means) we would like to create a report in Analytics (or in Alma) to see which instructors have opted in or out.

Library Discussion Notes - glowing indicator when accessed from notification 'bell' icon
Some users report it is difficult to find Library Discussion Notes at the reading list level and also at the citation level.
When they log into Leganto, and click on the 'bell' icon for notifications, it would be great if when they click the "New Library Discussion..." within the notifications, the screen would clearly show the new note with a bold red text or a glowing box on the new messages they received.
It would be even better if Library Discussion was positioned before the Related Items and defaults to being open and easily spotted.
Thanks!

Leganto integration with MS Teams
With the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, online learning has increased dramatically at our institution. Many instructors use Microsoft Teams for teaching, document sharing and communication with their students and spend most of their working days in their “permanent MS Teams classrooms”. It will be beneficial to, besides having Leganto available in the LMS and embedding a sharable Leganto reading list link in MS Teams, to have Leganto available as an app to add as a tab to the Teams the instructors have built for their courses. See screen capture attached.
