Allow users (especially students) to add a note when link is marked as broken
When checking the broken link alerts each morning we often have to email the users to diagnose their access issues. It would save time if the user could add a short note at the point when they click 'Mark as broken'.

Optional fields for more flexible export options
There are various ways to export a list, but the general feedback we get from the consortium is that there is often something missing and/or some elements are irrelevant:
Excel: tags are not included, and there are too many columns otherwise.
Word: with Apa or Chicago, public notes are not included; with the expanded reading style, tags are included, but not in a way that can help sort the citations, and physical location is irrelevant.
The pdf export contains some of this information but is not very print friendly.In other words, none of the export options covers entirely the…

Allow to disable welcome/help/instructor highlights
For instructor login, they will see the Welcome messages for the first time. The same message can be accessed via the Help menu. There is also a "Instructor highlights" which links to the release note.
ONE
We tried to customize the welcome/help message. But it is very rigid that it must have 4 pages, and on the "Help" page, "Workflow" tab, it is hardcoded to have a fixed number of bullets, and some bullets must have more than one paragraph. Actually we don't want to show some information to the instructor and it is very strange there are some blank…38 votesAvailable in August release

Resource locate to default to "OR"
It would be useful if "Locate Citation by Fields" could be configured so that only one enabled field needs to have an exact match, i.e. the resource locate defaults to "OR" rather than "AND" where more than one citation metadata field is populated.
This would allow citations to be matched where a title is misspelled, but an ISBN is correct, or vice versa.

Removal of standard blank template and ability to create a default institution template which cannot be deleted
We would like to remove or hide the standard out of the box blank template and have a standard institutional template which cannot be deleted or customized. This would ensure that reading lists created by instructors are of the same standard.

Configure list statuses to auto-complete if all citations are set complete
It is currently possible for list status to be automatically changed from 'Complete' to another status when a new citation is added requiring attention (listnewcitationincompleted_list parameter in the Course Reserves Automatic Statuses configuration).
We would similarly like to be able to configure list status to complete automatically if all the citations have been set complete.

Remove an individual user from all courses/lists where they are an instructor/owner
This is only currently possible as a bulk process using the reading list 'Remove all owners' job, or by using the course uploader. This is inefficient in cases where an individual member of staff leaves or is no longer teaching on a specified module and therefore needs to be manually removed as a list owner / course instructor.

Alerts
We would prefer a shorter way to view citation notes within Alma, either by clicking on a note within the overview (see attachment ‘Citation note’) or by display of details (‘the note’) within the overview. Now we have to go to Edit > Notes to see the requests/remarks that are essential for our services to instructors.

Filters/sorting/duplicates
Filters/sorting/duplicates
It is possible to look for citations within Alma’s persistent searchbox, but we would prefer a sorting function (A-Z) or a searchbox within a list. This would help looking for a citation while staying in a readinglist. Furthermore, it would help to detect unintended duplicates which have been added from, for example, ‘My Collection’ AND Repository Search AND Zotero. Or is it possible to mark duplicated citations?

Trigger Owner Subscription Letter on rollover and on active auto_set_instructors_as_owners
We would like the Owner Subscription Letter to activate when instructors are automatically set as owners to corresponding reading lists. We would like this to happen on rollover as well.
The Leganto Notification Letter is to imprecise to function well as information for the instructors when they have been added as owners to a reading list.
We can't see why the OWS only triggers when you are added as an owner when in Leganto, or when added in Alma and you actively choose "Send E-mail".
Now we need to retrieve the contact information from Course Reserves in Analytics. Since these…

Allow custom/specific delivery skin to be used in Leganto
We've noticed that the alma delivery skin in Leganto does not match the Primo delivery skin, and so customizations to the delivery skin in order to get things working in Primo are not available. There is no option to customize the default OTB leganto delivery skin.
Example use case for this would be where for personal delivery purposes the hold shelf for a library has to be available, but cannot be disabled from displaying except via CSS hiding in the delivery skin CSS.
The suggestion would be to allow the specification of a specific delivery skin to be used within…20 votesAvailable in January release

Show all user IDs where more than one user reports broken citation link
The Edit Citations area in Alma only shows the user ID of the most recent user to mark a citation link as broken. If more than one user has marked the same link as broken then this is shown by a number, but you cannot see the previous user IDs.
This is hugely problematic for our team as we try to follow up with all users by email, either to let them know that a broken link has been fixed or to ask for more information for troubleshooting purposes.

Add courses to user's My List via API
Our library has access to our students course enrollments. We'd like be able to update via API every student's Leganto My Lists so that their enrolled courses are automatically included within their 'My List'.
We are able to offer personalized lists of of courses on our website but can't do so within Leganto because I have not found an API that updates a user's Leganto My List.

Notify when a title (esp. electronic portfolio) chosen in a Leganto reading list is deleted in Alma
This idea was originally posted as Alma idea ( https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/36648628-notify-when-a-title-esp-electronic-portfolio-ch ) but it is probably more a Leganto improvement. Therefore I post it here.
Especially when dealing with electronic titles, for example when importing them, Alma may delete some portfolios.
However, researchers may have previously selected these portfolios for their Leganto reading list. But nobody would notice that, until the students find a broken link in Leganto.To avoid that right now we perform a manual check, relying on an Analysis looking for Electronic Titles selected for reading lists before running the import, and comparing that with the list of…

Additional automatic citation status configuration for purchase and resource charing requests

Adding metadata to the pop-up window, when asked to confirm deletion of a reference in a reading list
We've had feed-back from one of our instructors that it would be useful to have some metadata (title, author etc.) in the window that opens, when confirming that you like to delete a reference in a reading list. This is in order to be sure you delete the correct reference.
Would that be possible?Thank you.

Leganto Reading List Filters
In Leganto, under My Lists, I see that there are a couple of filters to filter out the reading lists that we'd like to see (see file: LegantoFilters(CourseCodeAndCourseName)), I noticed only these variables are being pulled from Alma's Course Information, Course Code and Course Name. But what about when the librarian/faculty would like to see only reading lists from a certain Term or a certain Course Start Date & Course End Date? There should be a way to do this in Leganto without having to delete or disassociate courses from the reading lists?
1 voteThe Find Lists page can be customized to include filters for course year and term.

Request for review date
We haev been examing workflows for checking lists and would like to suggest that once a list has been reviewed that the "request for review" date can be cleared / reset. This would make it easier to oversee the lists that need to be reviewed and would enhance the use of the status functions.

More facets on the Reading Lists Task List
Thank you for changing some filters into facets, but in order to make better use of this functionality, we would like to add more facets.
It would be a great improvement if we could have Academic Department, Course Terms and Assignee as facets as well.
Then we could easily sort the list to match each liasion librarians need for easy overview to his/her's Reading List Task List.
The facets we have today doesn't help very much in order to filter the list into a manageable task list.
Maybe it could be possible to customize the facets in the same way…107 votesAcademic Department, Terms List, Course Year, List Assigned To, and Assigned Date (the most recent date that the list was assigned to an operator) were added as facets to the Reading Lists Task List. These fields are all columns on the page, as well.
