Configuration of a 'pop up' when creating a new list using a black tamplate.
When you create a new list using a blank template and want to add some sections you are able to add the first section however when you want to add a second section a pop-up appears which tells you to add items to the first section and this pops up in front of the add section button, also there doesn't seem to be a way of closing the pop up unless you click to add an item.
It would be good if there was an 'X' in the pop up so we can continue to add sections or an option…

Edit Pane to remain on Screen when editing & saving an item.
When you edit an item in a reading list and click save the list advisor panel replaces the edit panel, it would be better for the edit panel to remain on screen after you've clicked on save as further edits may be needed to the same item?

Link to earlier book editions in the student view
To be able to add a link to a reading list to all earlier editions of a book (which are suitable for students to use). The link would need to be visible in the student view and ideally display all the earlier edition books with links.

Find List Search needs to have a specific Reading List Search Bar
Currently the Find List search in Leganto is searching for Course Titles and Course codes and instructors. Rather than searching at the Reading List level. As we keep most of our information at Reading List level, It would be helpful if this was renamed Find Course and Make another Search to Find Reading Lists information. Which could search Reading List title, Reading List code, and Reading List Instructors.

Hide or customise the top and bottom sections of the quick start wizard.
We want instructors to focus in the middle section to create lists. The top section is too broad, instructors have to scroll down to get to the main functionality. The bottom section is irrelevant especially the gif, we can't even change it

List creators to be better distinguished with different colours sections in reading list
List creators would like to be able to better distinguish different reading list sections by having the option to assign them a specific colour. This would be especially useful for long lists administered by a number of different academics. For example: an academic could say to his/her students, "my readings are in the orange section". It would improve the list navigation experience for students.

Change reading list jobs to work on sets of reading list IDs instead of reading list Codes
Currently the reading list jobs in Alma/Leganto rely on users creating a set of reading lists. Unfortunately the creation of the set is based only on the reading list code, which:
- makes it inconsistent with all other set creation activities which support IDs
- adds unnecessary complication when loading the file of data to create the set, in that you then have to worry about handling special characters and unique codes.
It would basically be the same as requiring users to upload a set of titles to create a title/physical item set.
We've had to create several reading list sets in…

Choose when to empty your bag
When users add to citations to their bag to reorganise before pasting back into a reading list. They can only do this task once. It would better if they could do this multiple times, so they can add a set of citations to different reading lists or different sections in one list.

Ability to retrieve deleted list sections or individual citations
Ability to retrieve deleted list sections or deleted individual citations. When deleting individual list sections or individual citations from a list, could the deleted items be held in an area (e.g. "trash bin") so as to be retrievable if deleted in error. Could this functionality be available for both instructors and librarians.

Recent Changes at citation level
The Recent Changes tab is only visible at list level in Alma. It would be useful if this tab was also made available at citation level.

Notes added in Alma to default to 'Library' type (rather than 'Instructor')
Notes added in Alma are likely to be for internal use only for Library staff. It would therefore be useful for the note type to default to 'Library' rather than 'Instructor'.

Reading List Folders broken down from Subject faculty then into course then into year
Briefly, we would like a way to organize reading lists on the Leganto list view beyond being able to search them, for example folders that can contain reading lists.
Our Business School and Faculty of Medicine staff have told us they have too many courses to manage easily on list view, so have suggested this feature to help organise their lists better. They suggest that seeing only their current year courses on the Leganto home page list view, and their previous years lists in folders.
User story: as a medicine course convener responsible for multiple reading lists, I would like…

'Add new title to section' button - float in long sections
Some lists have long sections. It would be very helpful not to have to scroll up through long sections to get to the 'Add new title to section' button. Would it be possible to make this button 'float' so that it is visible wherever you are in a list section. This would improve the list navigation experience for instructors and creators.

Make volume information more visible in citation in Leganto
For citations with a volume number, "Vol." is added when the list is exported to Word with APA or another style.
This happens accordingly to citation style rules, but also greatly helps identifying what kind of information the number refers to.
In Leganto, volume numbers are displayed without this pre-text, and stand on their own. Having "vol." added also in the citation in Leganto (without messing with the export) would make such citations easier to read and more userfriendly.

Cite It support for ECCO
ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online) is not supported by Cite It. This is a Gale Cengage product, and a widely used resource, so we would expect it to be supported.

Customise Leganto Reading lists using CSS
We would like to be able to adjust a CSS stylesheet to tweak the visual styling of the the Leganto reading lists. We have received feedback regarding the sizing of some important elements on the pages, especially the View Online link. We would like to be able to make this link more obvious to users.
96 votesWe do not plan to offer the option to customize the Leganto interface via CSS. While customization of the CSS seems like a good solution for those who want to change the interface, it can potentially cause significant compatibility issues moving forward. We invest much effort in advancing the user interface, and we don’t want to create a situation where changes to the Leganto interface break customizations on the customer end. If you have specific customization needs, please open a support ticket and we will address them via configurations or flags in the system.

Use Analytics to surface information on user activity in My Collection
We would like to use Analytics to see user activity in My Collection, for example how many times a title has been added to My Collection (but not necessarily added to a reading list).
14 votesWe will not offer this; My Collection is private to the user. If the primary concern is about copyright, note that files uploaded to citations which have the Copyright Auditing Required checkbox enabled are only accessible through the list and within the dates specified in the copyright record. Files cannot be accessed from My Collection when the citation has an associated copyright record.
