Display tags on page showing multiple lists a citation appears on
When you click on the "Demand in other lists, other courses" alert, the subsequent page (screenshot included) presents you with a table of all other lists where a citation appears. It would be really useful if this table displayed the tags associated with the citation on each list.
We use tags to inform our purchasing quantities, so when currently reviewing lists, we are having to go in and view the citation on each individual list to check for tags.

Allow the public user interface drop down menus options to be removed
The public user interface for Leganto (for example https://readinglists.rgu.ac.uk/leganto/public/44RGU_INST/searchlists?auth=LDAP) has a several drop down menus on the home page: module status, faculty and subject.
We would like an option that would allow us to remove some of these from the public user interface if they are not in use. For example we do not use the subject option currently but the drop down menu is there and always returns no results when used.

Allow the wording of the module status options on the public home page to be changed
On our public reading lists home page, https://readinglists.rgu.ac.uk/leganto/public/44RGU_INST/searchlists?auth=LDAP, there is a drop down menu for "Module Status" which has the options Active, Inactive and All.
This terminology means very little to the students using the site and we would like to be able to change the wording to something of our choosing e.g Active could be Current Year and so on.
The behind the scenes options would not be altered this is a proposed change for the public user interface only which would allow universities to pick their own terminology.

Reject input if DOI or citation source URL is incorrectly formatted (Leganto instructor UI)
We have seen many instructors create citations manually (rather than using Cite It) with the DOI formatted as a full URL (e.g. "https://doi.org/10.1111/misp.12056" rather than just "10.1111/misp.12056"). This prevents the citation from resolving and linking to the resource as expected.
Similarly, some users will add the citation source URL without the "https://" prefix, or with other formatting issues which prevent it from linking as expected.
A simple fix for this issue would be for Leganto to detect incorrectly formatted DOIs or URLs and to reject input, displaying a tooltip to inform the user of the correct format. Alternatively,…

Update tags via API
Currently, the Tags API is limited to retrieving tags. We would like the ability to be able to update and/or remove tags in bulk via a script using the API.

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…19 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.
