Add course adds/drops to the user record history in Alma
When you look at a user record in Alma, you can see the list of courses they are enrolled in. However, the user record's "history" tab doesn't include changes to their course enrollments. Having that history would be useful in troubleshooting access to course materials for individuals – you'd be able to see what they have been enrolled in, as well as when they might have lost access to a given course, for example.

Ability to tailor the Alma citations view to support more workflows
This may be multiple ideas to be split out, but the basic idea is the same. Currently in Alma Citations, even with the useful SOLR indexing improvements to allow facets, it can still be difficult to use the Citations list as a tasklist, because there is only exclusive faceting and no date restriction. Although Analytics allows creation modification dates to come into use for filtering lists, in the Alma interface there is no easy way to only show certain dates.
It is also a heavy loading page as it can show all citations in Alma, whereas it would be useful…

Field to display URL where item type is Website
Where Website is chosen as the item type then it would be useful to have a field that displays the URL, in both the short and long form of the citation in Leganto. Ideally this should be displayed in <angled brackets> in keeping with common reference citation guidelines, but it would also serve as a useful back up if the link were to stop working. This would not need to be a hyperlink and may need to be different to the one that we are using as it would need to exclude any proxy url prefixes that may be in…

Identify more recent editions for reading list citations
Each year reading lists and citation are rolled over to the new academic year. During the years the library acquires more recent editions of course materials, however instructors are not by default being notified of these new editions. A kind of 'identify other editions' job/feature for active reading lists could be interesting.
Of course 'matching' criteria to identify possible new (more recent) editions need to be well defined, but we strongly believe we can benefit from this feature to maintain up to date reading lists in an efficient way!

Show students why download isn't available
This is relevant when students can see the citation before the download is made available to them.
In this case there are many reasons why the full-text mightn't be available. It might be waiting for copyright clearance. Or the lecturer might have added visibility dates. At the moment all the student can see is that there's no download, so they may complain to the instructor or the library when they actually just need to be patient.
So while the Download link is suppressed, it would be useful to display a brief explanation. Eg "Restricted until [date]" if a date is…

Allow placeholder text in author field
When instructors create a citation they have to enter the author manually. We want them to always enter the author as Surname, I.N. or at least Surname, Firstname - so students get used to the preferred citation format and for copyright reporting purposes - but there's nothing to remind them of this.
We'd like placeholder text to display in the author field, which would be configurable via the Labels code table.

Digitization request form - show fields for journal articles as well as books
Improve the request digitization form so that it
shows the appropriate fields if the bookmark is a journal article, and shows the existing information from the bookmark to the requestor.
The information appears in the Alma citation, but I'd like the requester (whether academic or library staff) to see the information from the Leganto side.

Add Citavi Integration to Leganto
As a librarian from a German library just introducing Leganto I would recommend to add Citavi to Leganto.
Citavi (https://www.citavi.com/de) is a widely used, sophisticated and user friendly reference management and knowledge organization software. It is available as site license to the members of most of German, Austrian and Swiss universities (see https://www.citavi.com/de/campuslizenzen) and additionally to some other European and overseas academic institutions (many Spanish speaking).
A Citavi integration with Leganto would be an additional benefit and welcome feature especially to new Leganto users from D A CH where for example software like RefWorks in less widely…

Copyright Clearance option when uploading a file
when instructors upload a file in Leganto, (one) of the configured copyright statements is 'ticked' by default.
(File Upload Copyright Options setup)
Is there a way to oblige' instructors to agree on/tick one of the statements before they're able to upload the file? So, this is not ticked by default?

Provide an ability to configure the sort order of the links display in Leganto
Currently the links are displayed according to what the Alma u-resolver returns back, and the results (links) are dependent on the collection activation in Alma. We need the option to sort links (Ascending/Descending) in Leganto view, regardless of the Alma / Primo sort.

Add Warning (in Leganto) about associating multiple Reading Lists to Single Course code
In our environment, we prefer only one Reading List to be associated with a single Course Code. However, sometimes Instructors link multiple Reading Lists to the same course. This is often in error.
It would be good to have a warning in Leganto that warns instructors that they are linking a Reading List to a Course code that already has a Reading List attached to it.
This should be able to be "overridden" to allow for instances where it is in fact desirable. And should be configurable for institutions for whom this is not desirable to be seen by instructors.

More granular configuration of citation export options
In Config > Leganto > UI > List menu we can configure which options display for users eg whether to give them the option to Export.
But "Export" has a lot of sub-options and we don't want to confuse lecturers/students with most of them. We'd like somewhere we can configure which of these we want/don't want to offer (eg so we could promote the "to Word" and "to Endnote" options but hide the "to PDF" and "to Excel" options).

Create a way to match old lists to newer version of lists.
Recently we have had a curriculum review which has meant not all courses are rolled over. Sometimes we are creating new courses. Then as lecturers finally start working on their lists. They tell the library that this is the newer course of an old course. It would be go to have a way of marking old lists and their newer version. Even if they have been created without rollover.

Allow librarians to enable/disable "Edit Multiple Citations" feature
In Leganto November 2020 release, there is a new feature which allows users to edit/delete multiple citations. This is a very useful feature and can improve user experience in some cases.
We have a concern that when academics use this feature and bulk delete many citations by mistake, it is not possible for librarians to restore deleted citations.
We prefer to disable this feature for academics and only allow librarians to use it. Can Ex Libris make this feature configurable so the we can decide on whether to enable this for academics?

popular reading lists
We currently have old lists showing on our popular reading list section. We would like to be able to remove these from the list. Either by changing the configuration of how the list is created or being able to pick which lists are in the popular list.

Leganto Analytics - add functionality to identify rolled over reading lists
At UNSW we encourage academics to use the Leganto Instructor Rollover feature. We need to report on percentage of reading lists that have been rolled over for each of the terms. This information would help us to track how our reading lists are re-used, and understand the impact of this functionality.

Be able to configure visibility of "Upcoming Due Dates"
Allow for an option to make "Upcoming Due Dates" to be visible or hidden depending on the needs of the institution. This seems to be visible by default.

Allow resource_locate_multiple_matches and resource_locate_multiple_matches_priority to take effect when locating single citation in Alma
When resource locate is run on a single citation, Alma will only locate it if a single match is found; if there are no matches or multiple matches then the resource locate will fail and the citation's status will change to declined.
The resource locate multiple match priority settings, which we use to prioritise electronic inventory, currently only apply when running resource locate in bulk using the Process and Enrich citations in Bulk job or when citations are added in Leganto by instructors. It does not apply when running resource locate on a single citation in Alma i.e. as happens…
