Allow Cite It to work on a PDF open in browser
Cite It cannot be used to import details for an online PDF which is open in your browser window. Such items must be added manually in Leganto.
In Chrome, nothing happens when you click the bookmarklet from an open PDF. In Firefox, the CIte It popup window appears but is not populated with any citation details.
A Salesforce case about this was previously escalated to Ex Libris Product Management, but they have advised that it should be pursued as an enhancement request.

Auto Save tags when entering
When adding tags you have to select the tag then click the Save button. If you hit Enter it adds the next tag in the list! Most users will hit enter thinking this will Save the tag. I'd like to eliminate the extra click on the Save button and have tags auto save.

publish needs to be become more visible and a dual process of 'send to library' and 'publish'
Not only does the publishing button need to be made more visible. But needs to act as a dual process of 'send to library' so librarians get contacted when changes are made but also publishes the reading list. Or 'send to library' needs to be made mandatory again when tags are changed (i.e. from core to supplementary) as this will change how many copies the library may need to purchase.

Add the citation ID to the citation display in Alma
You can currently search for citations in Alma by ID, but this number does not display on either the 'Edit Citations' (search) or Edit Reading List Citation screens. It is therefore impossible to know the citation ID number unless you obtain it via an Analytics report or by copying it from the end of the citation URL in Leganto. By having the citation ID immediately available in Alma we could greatly improve cross working between Leganto and Alma.
This idea has also been raised as an Alma NERS request (5709).

Limit the approvals request list
It would greatly improve workflow to allow the staff processing the Approvals Request List to be able to limit the items in the list by the year, semester and request type (e.g. to weed out Patron Request types). This would let staff show just the items they are interested in, and eliminate all the noise of the old approvals.
Attached is an example of how we would like the Status filter to appear on the Approval Requests List.
3 votesWith the July 2023 release the approval task list can be filtered by status, course association and creation date range.

Avoid 'Multiple Resources Located' on resource locate for related records
If we have both print and ebook versions of a title then there will be two separate bibliographic records, both of which should have the alternate format ISBN added to the 020 $$z field (so that a relationship is formed).
Because both records have the same ISBN, the citation will display as 'Multiple Resources Located' if added via Cite It. This requires a member of library staff to manually intervene and select one of the records to Resource Locate. This is an unnecessary additional step, as availability for both related records should be shown in Leganto anyway.
Could Resource Locate…

Could this be added as a new citation type option? It would be useful for academic staff in health-related disciplines who utilise guidelines published by organisations such as NICE (https://www.nice.org.uk/).

Change default thumbnail icons for 'Music' and 'Score' citation types
These citation types currently have the same generic thumbnail image. Could they be differentiated, perhaps by using a speaker or headphone symbol for music citations and a treble clef for scores?

Option for instructors to hide suggested items panel from student view
Some instructors would prefer students to contact them directly with reading list suggestions. Could an option be added to suppress the suggested items panel from student view, similar to how the student discussion thread can be hidden.

Deactivate Likes together with disabling of student discussion
It is currently possible to deactivate student discussions on reading lists, but the Likes/hearts are still visible even then.
We would like it to be deactivated as well, or have the possibility to do so, when student discussion is turned off.
