Ask the library for a digital copy form
Currently it's configured that or the field "Chapters" or the field "Pages from - Pages to" is mandatory.
We would like to have the fields "Pages from - Pages to" to be mandatory even if the field "Chapters" is filled in by the user.6 votes -
Colour-coded Student/Library/Instructor tags
Suggestion from our recent Leganto implementation survey:
There are icons to show the difference between student/library/instructor tags at the point they are added; it would be useful to library staff & Instructors to be able to see at a glance e.g. by colour-coding which tags are which after adding. (In a similar way that library staff can currently see some system-generated tags as a different colour from the user-added ones).5 votes -
Digitisation Approved Alert for Instructors
Feedback from Instructors has been that they would like an alert when a digitisation has been approved/goes live on the list (in our case, from a sync with the DCS). This would both enable instructors to know when the digitisation has gone live, and also enable them to query with the library when they have not received an alert (i.e. that the digitisation hasn't been made, or has been rejected). Alerts would ideally appear as one of the alert option dropdowns in the Leganto interface.

Multi-site list alerts for print items
We have 7 physical locations 6 of which have print items. We want to set up Leganto to automatically complete physical inventory when added by an instructor as we do not have a "course reserve" workflow or short loan process. In other words, if an instructor adds print to their reading list we are happy that it can be accessed by the students on the open shelves.
However, we are aware that instructors could add physical inventory that is located at one site for a course that is being delivered at another. We do not do inter-site lending even between…

Leganto Analytics storage usage report
This new feature will provide system administrators with environments without Alma D with a detailed analytics report displaying Leganto current storage space usage, available free space, and total storage capacity for their resources. The dashboard will offer a seamless interface for managing and monitoring storage needs, ensuring that administrators can efficiently monitor storage space and predict growth.
This tool will enhance resource management by delivering clear insights into storage utilisation, aiding administrators with proactive management of storage, and preventing overcapacity issues with the Leganto platform.

Make new edition suggestions actionable for instructors from the detailed notification letter
There is a workflow issue for instructors starting from the detailed leganto notifications letter.
Scenario:
1. Librarian suggests a new edition for a citation in Alma
2. Instructor receives the detailed notification letter with a link to the citation view for the existing citation that now has a suggestion
3. Instructor looks around and there is nowhere to do anything about the suggestion, although they might spot the new edition tag - it does nothing when they click on it
4. Instructor has to know that they must click on the section or list links at the top of page…7 votes -
Better layout for ‘Ask your library to create your list’ on the quick start screen
Libraries can display the “Ask your library to create your list” option on the quick start screen. We think it would be great if this option would be displayed in the same layout as the options “Create new list” and “Select existing list” in a box with title, image, description, and button.

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

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…

Process and enrich citations job - additional field required
We have run the Process and Enrich citations job very occasionally to pick up URLs which may have changed but the resulting file always needs a huge amount of work because it includes loads of historical data. It would be much more useful if it included the field "Publication list visibility", so that we could filter to discover just those citations which are currently visible to our students.
We would like to run this job on a regular basis in order to proactively fix issues, even before students or instructors spot them. We think that instructors will be more likely…

Improve Leganto question and answers with a guidance note field at the bottom
We make significant use of the Leganto Item Request Question and Answer functionality, but one of the problems encountered is that there is no 'bottom' guidance note label, only a question description field at the top, i.e.
Currently you can only define:
-Question,
-a question description,
[answer options]This means there is no scope for a final note/guidance label which can be used to guide instructors in how to fill out the options and describe the next steps by the library.
Without this, all and any such consequential information has to be crammed into the 'top' question/Question description customer labels.…

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…1 vote -
Leganto mobile Experience improvement
Some functional and layout aspects need to be improved in the Leganto Mobile Experience.
Leganto mobile hasn't any top header; the app is completely anonymous (neither the institution logo nor the name of the product is visible)
The layout of the general menu is different from the one presented in May 2024, and it has a lot of line spacing. "Upcoming due dates” are always visible also for institutions that disabled this feature.
The names of the reading lists are truncated if they are quite long. We’d expect complete list names to be shown, spanning multiple rows if needed

Allow advanced search of Citations and editing of individual citations within a set of citations
I frequently look for citations meeting certain criteria - simple like recently added Books on active lists, on published lists, where the book is essential. To do that I have to go select all citations, sort it by last created, choose the filters, active, published. I then look at a couple to e.g. see if there is a newer edition. If I want to continue with the same project, I have to recreate all the steps.
It is impossible to create a query with two filters from the same group, e.g. Material type books or Book chapters or Citation tags…

Link to citations from 'all titles' search display
When doing a titles search on Alma, there's no way to immediately tell if a record appears on a Leganto list. Could there be a title information option called 'Citations' with a number that links to a citations search for that MMS ID? Similar to how 'Orders' appears.

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.…3 votes -
Questions should not be triggered when items are added from reference management systems
We defined questions that are triggered when a citation is added that has no inventory. Now we have the problem that these questions are always triggered when a user adds items from a reference management system (Mendeley, Zotero, …), even if the library actually owns inventory for these items. This happens because the resource locate process is not initiated when adding items from a reference management system.
The best scenario would of course be that the questions in the “add from reference management system” flow are only triggered when an item is added that meets the criteria. As this scenario…10 votes -
find list setting in new UI
Find list settings allow librarians to customize the basic and advanced search interfaces in Leganto but it is not available in the new UI. It would be very useful to replicate this function in the new UI interface.

Introduce a specific message for lists that have not yet been published and for which the library review has been completed
In the following scenario, a specific message for the instructors is missing in the Leganto user interface:
An instructor sends a list to the library for review without publishing it to the students. The message “The library is reviewing your list. Your list is not yet visible to students. To publish or send additional changes, click on "My list is ready" to notify the library.” is displayed in the banner on top of the list. The library completes the review and sets the list to “complete” status. In the UI the same message is still displayed.
We expect the instructor…16 votes
