  1. Divide labels into areas for easier management

    Currently there are 2179 label rows. Is a very slow loading table and hard to work with.

    If the management of labels could be organized into areas or sections - something like the label table for Discovery/Primo VE - it would make the work flow a lot smoother, quicker and enjoyable.

  2. My Collection enhancements

    Our instructors are big fans of My Collection but they are missing features that are available for lists:

    1) Sections or folders. Having tags is nice but in no way the same thing

    2) Drag & Drop citations to re-order the list. Goes together with 1) - at the moment there is no way to bring structure to My Collection which makes it cluttered and takes the joy out of working with it.

    3) Separate the menu options into "Suggest item for a list" and "Add item to a list" so that there is a clear distinction between adding something…

    We are closing this idea. Parts 3-6 are available in the new UI. Please open a new idea if you would like additional changes after using Favorites in the new UI.

  3. Display usage relevant to citation type in List Analysis

    Student usage of a citation is only generated if a student interacts with a citation, such as by opening the citation in full view. For some citation types, this does not present a meaningful view of usage.

    For example, for print citations, it would be more relevant to display number of loans for the print copies, rather than evaluating usage purely on how many times the full citation has been viewed. Usage for fields such as Student Full Text Views are also not relevant for this citation type.

    Usage shown in List Analysis should either be relevant across all citation…

  4. Enable set-creation for citations, reading lists, and courses

    At the moment, creating sets for Leganto to run jobs on is a pain - contratry to other indices in Alma you can't just click 'Save Query' and then run a job on the set.
    No, you have to create a list either from an Excel export or Analytics and then create an itemized set from it.

    This is extremely annoying because you have to create a new input list and a new set every time you need to run a job.

    Please enable the creation of (logical) sets for citations, reading lists, and courses from a search in Alma…

  5. Identifying hidden links within Leganto citations in Alma/Leganto or analytics

    There is an option in Leganto citations to hide a link. There is no obvious way to identify all the links that have been hidden.

    Usecase - we noticed that some links have appeared in citations that shouldn't be there. A member of staff uses the function Hide the link when they come across one, which removes the link from student display of the reading list in Leganto.
    There is currently no means to identify all the links in reading lists that have been hidden - we need to identify them at a later date to decide what further actions…

  6. Pulsating/blurring effect in search results is causing visual fatigue

    One of our users says that the pulsating search results that cause the text to become blurry is giving them visual fatigue. See the attached video for an example of what I mean.

    The pulsating and blurring is meant to draw attention to the component in response to the user hovering over the search result with their mouse. (Keyboard navigation doesn't seem to trigger this effect, as far I can tell.)

    Since this visual effect is not essential to the functionality or the information being conveyed, we ask that you please remove this, or allow users to choose to disable…

  10. Setting the help page display method

    When I set a link to the institution's own page in Help, the page pop up on the Leganto screen.
    We would like to add a setting that allows the Help page to be displayed in another tab of the browser directly from the link.

  11. Make the "Disable Resolving" feature in the Citation details reportable in analytics

    Please make the "Disable Resolving" feature (from the Citation details tab in Alma) reportable in the Course Reserves area of Analytics.
    This would allow institutions to ensure appropriate citations have resolving disabled. This is essential in cases where publishers do not allow direct linking in any way to their content for course readings.
    It would also allow institutions to do a tidy-up of citations which required resolving disabled at some stage but where it's no longer required.

  14. Shibboleth SSO authentication for Refworks

    Recently the new version of RefWorks created SSO authentication process for Users. We have enabled this process. However, currently when users export records from Leganto to Refworks. It isn't allowed in many cases. As users need to use their new Refworks username and password. For Leganto to login to RefWorks and export the record.
    Solution. It would be better if users in Leganto could use SSO to sign into Refworks. So a specific new RefWorks password is no longer needed.

  15. Customise mandatory fields per citation type

    Currently the only mandatory field for a citation is "Title". We would like to be able to customise which fields are mandatory depending on the item type, so that instructors are prompted to fill out more than just the title when adding items from outside of our collections.

    We often find tutors fill out the title and add a URL, but if that URL breaks then just the title isn’t always sufficient information to find a new link to the resource. Having just the title also doesn't give students much information to work with when judging which resources to engage…

  16. Include text of Library Discussion Note in Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter

    Could the actual text of the Library Discussion Note be included for Instructors when they receive a Notification that there is an outstanding Library Discussion via the Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter.

    Currently, the Letter only tells the Instructor that there is a Library Discussion waiting for them. They then need to log-in to Leganto to see what it is. Providing the text would enable the Instructor to determine whether they need to log-in to Leganto and action something in the list or not, and would bring the letter in line with other email notifications e.g. service desk messages, where they…

  17. List/Course status = No list by choice

    There are many courses that, for a variety of reasons, intentionally do not have reading lists. The fact that this is deliberate is not immediately obvious though, and confusion can arise when people expect there to be a list connected to the course.

    Students might wonder if they are doing something wrong, librarians might have to keep separate spreadsheets to note which ones are supposed to be empty and instructors might be confused when asked to make lists in their LMS.

    For these courses, there should be some way to identify that the absence of any lists is by design…

  20. Add Unpaywall full text availability in Leganto

    We have enabled links to Unpaywall in Primo VE with the "enableopenaccessservicesfromunpaywallapi" setting in Config->Fulfillment->General->Other Settings. However, these links don't appear in Leganto, only Primo. I opened a case with Support [#00984855] and they confirm that this is the expected behaviour: the Unpaywall Open Access API service is presently only available through Primo.

    Our Leganto users would benefit from having Ex Libris add Unpaywall full text availability to Leganto, so that they could easily see these resources are available. Some Leganto users would see the "Full text not available" and not use the resource…
