Improvement and development of the Leganto broken link handling
At the moment Alma offers very little to properly handle Leganto broken links via the task-list menu. Once a Broken Link Alert is removed, the information is gone from Alma entirely. The functionality is inadequate as a workflow for library staff when investigating and recording details of our progress in fixing the problem, keeping students informed and statistical reporting.
We would like to see additional functionality :
• Broken Link Alerts to have a more permanent record in Alma and Analytics
• Introduction of additional fields to capture information about the Broken Links - for example broken link status (e.g.…194 votes -
Add MARC field 240 as a new field in Leganto
We have several records representing e-books, which are published as e-books (much) later than when the same content was published as a printed book. The printed book may be published in 2007, the same e-book in 2019, and even if both dates are recorded in the 008-field of the record, this information is not displayed in Leganto. Only the actual publishing year (in our example 2019) is visible to the user. It makes it look like a newer edition, which it is not.
Ex: https://bibsys-k.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/citation/14473946130002204?institute=47BIBSYS_UBO&auth=SAMLOur case was closed last time (#05336252) but we are now moving to RDA standards,…

Reading list ‘bulk export’ in Leganto
Currently the only way to export reading lists in Leganto is exporting them one at a time. I would like to suggest an option for a bulk export of reading lists, where one can export more than one list in a single operation.
A possible workflow could be adding an ‘Export’-option in the “Find lists”-menu, and using a prompt for selecting lists to export. It could additionally be available in the “My lists”-menu.
Ideally the export options should be the same as when exporting a single list or section, with choices like File Type, Bibliographic Styles and Sorting.There are…

Add Electronic Collection data to Course Reserves Analytics
In Alma Analytics, accessing information about Leganto citations is best managed via the Course Reserves area. However, the Course Reserve reports available seem set up for physical items. For example, we do not have the option to pull Electronic Collection data from Alma Analytics for citations. The limitation is especially true for CDI resources, where you cannot even obtain an MMS ID.
When vendors pull ebooks or other cited materials from their selection, it’s important that the library is able to identify affected resources quickly. This allows the library to proactively manage the citation, locating the materials elsewhere or work…

Toggle between instructor and library view
With the introduction of the library view, library staff also need quick and easy access to the instructor view:
- to demonstrate/train instructors
- to produce training materials for instructors
- to test new configuration changes
We really like the easy toggle transition between student/staff views and would like to see something similar between library/instructor views.

Multiple assignees per list
Some institutions would like the possibility to have several assigned librarians per lists.
"We have many lists common to several campuses, and it will only increase in the future. In order to have a local overview, the campus libraries would like to be able to see the lists that are relevant to their campus. As of today this is difficult, as one one librarian can be assigned a list. We need to rely on manual processes (forwarding lists, and having manual overviews over which lists are for multiple campuses). This is difficult to maintain."75 votes -
New UI: Restore ability to search ALL archived lists for library staff
Leganto, using the old UI, allows library staff to locate archived lists when searching by the course ID, this allows library staff to quickly assist faculty & staff in rolling over/copying their courses. In the NUI, users are only able to locate archived lists for which they are the owner. To be perfectly frank, the library postponed going live with the NUI this summer due to this lacking feature. Finding out this is expected behavior led to the creation of this idea exchange, as we are very concerned about losing access to the feature.
Proposed resolutions:
1) Allow library staff…75 votes -
Retain citation status (Being Prepared / Complete) when copying or duplicating a list
When using the duplicate list or copy section functions, citations which have previously been marked as Complete will revert to Being Prepared. This creates unnecessary additional work for our staff who have to mark the citations as complete again.

More frequent notifications for Library Discussion Notes
Library Discussion Notes are a great way to communicate with faculty about the status of resources cited in reading lists. However, notifications about new notes are only delivered once per day at midnight using the detailed notifications letter. This delays response times. A more frequent schedule for Library Discussion Notes, such as hourly, would be much more efficient and useful for faculty and staff.

Publish electronic records without inventory as e-book and not physical book
We are a consortium, and we have a certain number of e-book records without inventory in our network zone. Deleting these records is not an option for us for various reasons.
The expected Alma behavior for such records if there is no inventory is to publish as physical. It applies to both Primo and Leganto.
Use case: an instructor uses the expanded search to check for newer edition of a book they have previously used in a reading list. They add what seems to be a newer physical edition from 2020. In reality, the record is an e-book published as…

Digitization request form in Leganto: add configuration options
As of now, the digitization request form used in the Leganto UI cannot be configured. We think that it would be a useful enhancement if libraries were able to enable and disable fields as well as define the number of note fields and page range fields such as it is the case for the digitization request form in Primo VE.

Allow subsections
It would be helpful to allow the creation of subsections within each section. For example, I have a reading list and the sections are labeled Module 01, etc. In the syllabus, the instructor has 6-7 readings that say "choose one or two of these". This can be added as a public note on those specific readings, but it would be nice to have the option to create a subsection within that module instead - or some other way to group those readings together.

Allow more color customization in branding in new UI
Like many schools, we have a centralized brand guide and we are supposed to use those colors in design and interfaces whenever possible. The new UI color choices do not match the school branding and are far enough off that it will look odd to end users. A system where we could choose either preset colors or to customize by specifying hex color codes would be a much better fit for us.

Option to run Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode
Would be useful to have the option to run the Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode. This would enable to us to see what citation to record matches were going to be made in advance, and edit the job if it looked like there were going to be errors in the matching / citations we didn't want included.
This would be similar to the draft mode options when running the 'Rollover Ledgers' and 'Rollover PO Lines' jobs.53 votes -
Importance tags - limit to one per citation
We use importance tags to inform our purchasing, but often encounter citations which have been given multiple tags. We would find it useful to be able to configure the system to allow only one importance tag per citation.

Rollover - Allow Excel files to be directly uploaded to course loader integrated profile
Currently we have to create a spreadsheet for a course rollover, then re-format it into text tab delimited file and then add it to a FTP server before it can be run in the course loader integrated process. This is a long winded process where errors can creep in.
It would be an improvement if you could upload the file directly in the Course loader integrated profile as a file upload. It would also be better if this upload could be an Excel spreadsheet rather than a text tab delimited file

Allow Leganto to display different general messages to different user groups
Leganto February 2021 release included an Ideas Exchange introducing:
“Two new parameters allow you to define when and to whom the value in the general message parameter will display…The new generalmessagerole parameter allows you to specify that the value in the general_message parameter will display only for the user role indicated”The University of New South Wales welcomes this enhancement. We believe that the ability to display a different message simultaneously in both Leganto Instructor and Student environments improves this communication functionality further.
This provides the benefit of varying the wording of messages aimed at differing target groups.…

Allow institutions to configure which citation statuses should be considered as equivalent to Complete
In Leganto it is possible to create custom citation statuses.
One such custom status we have created is 'Complete - no eBook available'. We use this status to indicate to teaching staff that a citation has been processed by the library but that it has not been possible to purchase it electronically. To all intents and purposes this status is equivalent to Complete, but provides additional information.
We would like to be able to configure Leganto to define which statuses should be considered as Complete. This would be useful, for example, when filtering citations in Alma, where there are options…

Deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists
We would like to have the possibility to deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists.
Some of these types of filters are not relevant for us.For Examples:
CITATION FILTERS:
- DUE DATE: no due date in our workflows. Once published, lists and citations have to be always available to our patrons.
- STATUS: citation status are related to the activities carry out by librarians, instructors don’t need to see them
LIST FILTERS:
- COURSE STATUS: the distinction between active and inactive course is not relevant for us
- LIST TYPE: we automatically create…45 votes -
Report of instructors having opted in or out for notifications
In Leganto, instructors can opt in or out to receive email notifications on events. In order to know to what degree we can rely on these for communications (and under what circumstances we need to approach the instructor by other means) we would like to create a report in Analytics (or in Alma) to see which instructors have opted in or out.
