Managing data on rightsholders
If customers could maintain records of the rightsholders that they interact with (publishers, etc), then they could use the same kinds of Leganto-based processes for managing copyright permissions for those vendors that they do now when interacting with CCC. This would prevent many customers from needing to maintain an external database for copyright clearance activity that doesn't relate to the CCC.

Reading Lists with status “New Citation Added to Completed List” displayed in task lists
We have added the custom reading list status called “New Citation Added to Completed List” in “Additional Reading List Statuses” in our configuration.
For the moment, we are only able to see reading lists with this status in Alma when viewing reading lists “Assigned to Me”.
It would be very useful and make working with reading lists easier if we could have a task in the task list displaying reading lists where this status is present.

Clearer display of link source
We had a citation with two links, both broken. One showed the name of the collection it was in so easy to fix. The other one just showed "online.wiley.com" and I spent at least an hour trying to figure out what collection that was only to discover by accident that actually it was referring to the "Source URL" in the citation's own record.
The display of links in Leganto should clearly tell administrators where the URLs are coming from to facilitate troubleshooting.
Broken link alerts in the Alma tasklist should likewise clearly name (or ideally link to!) the collection or…

Duplicating lists - make it clearer that the duplicated list is the copy
When you duplicate a reading list, '(1)' is added to the end of the title. This is easy to overlook, and academic staff often make multiple copies because they are not sure it has worked.
We would like the duplicated list to say "Copy of" at the beginning of the title instead. This would replicate the behaviour when a section is copied and would more clearly differentiate the two lists.
3 votesClosing because we believe the original idea and all existing votes refer to the classic UI which is no longer in use.

Preferred language set for both Alma and Leganto
Leganto is a patron-facing system and is translated to several different languages. Alma is a back-office system for librarians and are not translated as such.
In Leganto you can select the interface language. This changes the preferred language setting on the user-profile in Alma as well. We can see the change in the history-tab on the user-profile.
The issue is that if the language is set to a language other than english, parts of Alma displays translated values (I assume values that are used in patron facing elements) while other parts are not translated. E.g. a mix of Norwegian and…

Analytics improvement regarding Leganto and Esploro
Set up an Esploro-Leganto integration in Analytics, that makes it possible to get statistics on how many assets from Esploro are cited in reading list (like you can create an list with Leganto citations there also are represented in Alma). E.g. how many citations in a specific reading list are from Esploro?

Allow students to access 'Course students' restricted lists via 'My Lists'
If you use the "Course Students" publication status for a reading list, students must always use an LTI link from a VLE to view the list. This means students can't access all their lists from one place ("My Lists") which isn't good for the student experience.
We would like there to be a way for students to only have to access the list via LTI once (if at all), after which they can access it from "My Lists".

Enable OCRed PDF documents search in all languages

Allow institutions to use old display of "Add items" menu
Prior to May 2021, the 'Add items' button opened 'Library Search' in the panel, with other options available in small tabs. Since May 2021, the panel shows a menu with several boxes (at Sheffield we only see three boxes).
This changed view means that getting to Library Search takes an extra click and it increases the risk that academic staff will manually enter the details instead of using Library Search. We would like 'Library Search' to be given priority.
We would like institutions to have the option to return to the previous view to encourage staff use of 'Library Search'…

Include option for sans-serif header font in Leganto
Currently the four options for fonts in Leganto all have serif fonts as their header fonts. Our university has recently moved to a new webpage style where all text (headers included) is sans-serif, and we'd like an option to have this reflected in Leganto for the sake of consistency.
The existing font options already include sans-serif fonts for content text, so perhaps one of these could be suitable as a header font in the correct size.

List Analysis: ability to customise fields that display
When the List Analysis feature is switched on, it is not currently possible to customise which analytics fields display. Some of the fields relate to functionality which can be disabled in Leganto, therefore it should be possible to disable the related analytics field to not display in the citation analysis, as the usage will also remain at zero. This is discouraging and confusing for teaching staff.
For example, institutions can configure whether or not files can be uploaded to citations. If this is not configured, then the usage for 'Student File Downloads' becomes irrelevant and should be possible to be…

Add Leganto Question when exporting title from Primo
We were asked by multiple instructors why there is no Leganto Question when they push a title from Primo to their reading list via the export functionality.
As we are using this (amongst other things) to remind them to add tags to their citations, instructors really depend on this feature and don't understand why it's missing in Primo.We as librarians also don't understand why the feature was not developed when 'Export to Leganto' was added to Primo's export actions last year.
If there is a connection between products (like Primo <> Leganto) all features should be available. Everything else…
18 votesHi,
Thank you for being involved.
We are closing this idea as it would require an excessive amount of time to develop.
We would love to hear any other suggestions you may have for addressing the same issue.

Get Course Enrolments by User API Rest Call
It would be really useful to have a REST API GET call that returns course enrolments for an individual student by providing the student ID in the request. This response should return a list of courses that the individual student is enrolled on which would then allow to drill into reading lists etc.

Option to use multiple multilingual logos
In Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding > Logo Upoad > 'Load Leganto header logo' you can upload the logo that's gonna be displayed in the Leganto header.
But only 1 logo can be uploaded.For institutions with different logos for different languages this is rather unfortunate
Our guess is that having more than 1 logo is not an envisaged use-case (and probably a rare one, too).
Still we would really like the ability to upload multiple logos to fit all UI languages in use.

Allow instructors to view reading lists for courses in My Lists without being collaborator/owner of list
It should be possible in My Lists for instructors to view all courses where they are listed as an instructor and any lists associated with those courses, without being a collaborator or manually adding the courses to My Lists. Perhaps via a sub-section within My Lists e.g. My Courses, to designate those where they are a reading list owner and those where they are not.
This would be of use if the functionality to auto-add instructors as collaborators to lists was not enabled, to allow instructors to be able to see which courses they are associated to. It could also…

Able to configure which citation statuses should be considered as equivalent to Complete
In Leganto it is possible to create custom citation statuses.
One such custom status we have created is 'Complete - no eBook available' which we use to signify to academic staff that a citation has been processed by the library but that it has not been possible to purchase an item electronically. For all intents and purpose this status is equivalent to Complete, but provides additional information.
It would be preferable if we were able to configure Leganto to define which statuses should be considered as Complete. This would be useful, for example, when filtering citations in Alma, where there…

Course code facet in Manage Purchase Requests
Adding a facet for course code in Manage Purchase Requests would be extremely beneficial for staff processing reading list purchases, allowing them to view and work through all purchase requests at a list level.
Currently some course-related facets do exist in Manage Purchase Requests, such as course year and academic department. Being able to filter by individual course codes would a welcome addition to this. The course code can be viewed within the purchase request itself, so it seems logical to be able to add this as a facet

Add the possibility of rearrange the "Library Discussion" list in chronological order, from the newest to the oldest
Right now the list of actions displayed in the "Library Discussion" list can be viewed in chronological order, from the oldest to the newest. We ask the possibility of rearrange that list also in the inverse order, from the newest to the oldest, because we think it would be more useful to our users.
