In the Alma Reading list view of citations, allow Citation Last Modification Date to take operators such as 'before/after or between' etc
It would make some checks on reading lists easier if it was possible to more effectively filter the citations displayed, not just by the facets, but by having additional operator options for the Citation Last Modification Date. Having not just a specific date but before/after and between dates would make this more powerful.
It might be useful it it was possible be more intelligent here by offering a date since list sent for review, etc

Add courses to User API
We have a regular feed of user data from our student information system (SIS) into Alma. The SIS also holds course data, so we'd like to be able to simply include course enrolment data in the existing feed, rather than set up a separate process.
As well as one process being better than two :-) it's a more practical fit to how the data is available. The current process for course enrolment in Leganto requires us to run one job for added courses and one job for deleted courses. But our SIS can't create a list of courses that have…

Hide the thumbnail URL in the citation view
In Leganto if the thumbnail URL is populated the whole URL (which could be long, unwieldy, and of no interest to the user) is displayed.
Just use it to show the thumbnail, but don't show the URL itself.

Allow instructors to view reading lists for courses in My Lists without being collaborator/owner of list
It should be possible in My Lists for instructors to view all courses where they are listed as an instructor and any lists associated with those courses, without being a collaborator or manually adding the courses to My Lists. Perhaps via a sub-section within My Lists e.g. My Courses, to designate those where they are a reading list owner and those where they are not.
This would be of use if the functionality to auto-add instructors as collaborators to lists was not enabled, to allow instructors to be able to see which courses they are associated to. It could also…

Enable the system to give you an alert if you suppress an item on a reading list
It would be good to know when you are suppressing an item that is on a reading list so you know either not to suppress it or replace it with another copy if one is lost or missing. Similar to when you withdraw or delete an item

Add a simpler method of updating the number of participants on courses (in bulk)
Although the API and Course loader options exist, the mandatory requirement to have a course ID and Course Name using the full CL template and the unwieldiness of the course loader profile SFTP etc for non technical staff suggests that it would be beneficial to add a simpler method for staff to manually update course participant numbers in bulk (i.e. a simple upload of 2 columns Course ID and Number of participants). Appreciate campus functionality, but for situations where no enrolment loader is possible, but regular updates are possible it would save much manual entry to just be able to…

Allow configuration of list-level "Import" options for creating a list
Currently (Feb 2023) it is not possible to configure - and specifically to disable - the list-level "Import" option when creating new lists - i.e. whether via MyLists/New List, OR when instructors enter Leganto via LTI from the CMS/LMS/VLE (say BlackBoard) and are prompted to create a list. Currently there is no way to hide this option or control the types supported. This is inconsistent as it is possible to hide the option from the Section menu for example.

Enable independent hiding of different viewers from Alma D
Re: case 06749385
If an institution has multiple viewers configured for Alma D files, then in Leganto both will appear in the Links/availability area. However, if the educator decides that one of the viewers is better suited for their pedagogical requirements (e.g. Universal viewer has specific features for images/3d objects) and tries to hide the Alma Viewer, then both are hidden.
I feel like this is a bug, as both links have separate "hide" links, but hiding one hides both - they are not isolated. Yet, the Mark as Broken links do work independently.
I was asked to submit to…

Usability of Favorites in LTI view - How to access them
Using the LTI view (Blackboard Ultra site) the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.
Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy…
