1. 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.

2. Leganto Refresh This Page

   The ‘Refresh this page’ function in the old Leganto interface allowed you to refresh a long list with collapsed sections and would return the list with the sections still collapsed and only the section you were working on open.

   This option has gone from the NUI. If you use the browser refresh, the list reopens without the sections collapsed. This is extremely disruptive to the workflow of staff and leads to time wasted and confusion in finding the part of the list that was being worked on.

   Please can the 'Refresh this page' function be restored?

3. Add a librarian/reviewer field to Reading List in Alma

   We would like to have a possibility to add information about librarian/reviewer (a person who is responsible for processing the list) or list coordinator (someone who distributes/assigns lists to reviewers in a particular department) to reading list in Alma. It should be an editable field, available for rollover, and visible in Analytics in Course Reserves Subject Area.

   In the future this information can be used to configure the following auto-assign-workflow: when the list owner sends a list to the library, the list changes its status to Ready for processing, Reviewer/Coordinator is activated as an assignee, and a message about auto-assign is generated and sent out.

4. Allow configuration of the "Most Common" items types displayed at Add Item in Leganto

   When adding items in the Leganto user interface, the material type list is long, but a small number of material types are given prominence as "Most common". For the purposes of assisting instructors to correctly add certain item types (extracts, Eoffprints, etc, it would be very useful to be able to add items to this list or configure what appears. The most common is much larger and clearer and so for lesser used but important material types it can prove difficult for instructors to find them causing extra work and more unnecessary queries for library staff.

6. Better interoperability – add a new symbol in Alma as an indication when an attachment is hidden in Leganto

   We use the Leganto citation ‘Hide link’ feature to hide attachments from the Student view.

   As UNSW process reading lists in Alma, it will be helpful if there is a symbol to indicate the attachment is hidden so we don’t have to select the "View in Leganto" for each citation to check whether the attachment is hidden or not.

   We manually add a tag to show if an attachment is hidden, but it is not practical.

   It will be even better if the ‘Hide link’ option is available in Alma, in addition to Leganto.

   Thank you.

7. Show course details when selecting a list to copy a section or item to

   In Leganto, when copying an item or section to another list, no course details are currently displayed. This makes it difficult or impossible to select the correct list to copy to. Some courses share the same name (and therefore the same list name) but have separate lists, such as in the case of a postgraduate offering and an undergraduate offering. Additionally, some courses may have an active list for each semester the course is offered. Other lists may share the same generic title, such as ‘Resource list’. In these cases, it is impossible to select the right list to copy to (see example screenshots attached).

   To resolve this issue, please add the course code, term, and year alongside the list name when selecting a list to copy items or sections to. This should be implemented both in the new Clipboard feature and in the single copy per item/section function.

   When adding items via Cite it! and selecting a list, you can see the course code, year, and term (see screenshots attached). This same functionality is required in the copy functions within Leganto.

9. The ability to ask multiple questions and answers on one citation

   We currently have a question setup in Leganto. To ask whether a piece of reading is mandatory or supplementary. We were testing asking a question about Print only items needing to be digitized. However, we found out that you can only ask one question for one citation. It would be good to have the ability to have more than one question for one citation being created.

10. Availability of “Request digitization”: Take item policies and existence of a digitization department into account

    In the Leganto UI, the option “request digitization” is sometimes displayed although digitization is actually not possible. There are two different cases:

    1. he item belongs to a library without digitization department.
       If an item belongs to a library without digitization department, the option “request digitization” is still available in the associated citation in Leganto. If an instructor tries to send a digitization request for such an item, an error message is displayed.

    2. The item has an item policy that does not allow digitization.
       If an item associated with a citation in Leganto has a “no copy” item policy, the option “Request digitization” is still available. If an instructor sends a digitization request for such an item, the request is actually sent to Alma and has to be declined by the library.

    It would be a very user-friendly improvement if the option “request digitization” would not be available in a citation if one of the cases above applies. Additionally, this would be a considerable step towards a desired harmonization of the two products Leganto and GetIt in Primo in terms of their behavior in alike situations.

11. Sort citations by section in Alma

    ​Most of our institutions use a two-section structure in Leganto, where one section is recommended literature. Citations in this section are not treated the same way by the library as "mandatory citations". Hence the need to sort citations in reading lists by section in Alma.

    The feedback we got from an institution is that they would like "Section" to be a filter/dropdown menu where they can choose a specific section, the same way the tag menu works.

12. Leganto mobile Experience improvement

    Some functional and layout aspects need to be improved in the Leganto Mobile Experience.

    1. Leganto mobile hasn't any top header; the app is completely anonymous (neither the institution logo nor the name of the product is visible)

    2. The layout of the general menu is different from the one presented in May 2024, and it has a lot of line spacing. "Upcoming due dates” are always visible also for institutions that disabled this feature.

    3. The names of the reading lists are truncated if they are quite long. We’d expect complete list names to be shown, spanning multiple rows if needed

13. Limit the number of times an importance tag can be used on a reading list

    We would find it very useful to set a limit on the number of times a tag can be used on a list – for example to configure tags so that only one item per reading list can be tagged as Core. We use this tag to flag items requested for our eTextbook Programme and this would help us avoid the issue of multiple Core-tagged items.

14. Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status

    Idea based on SalesForce case 00938590

    TLDR: Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status.

    In Leganto, there are two ways of initiating a rollover:

    A: Directly in the Leganto interface by staff or instructors
    B: Via a Course Loading Integration Profile in Alma

    When a rollover is initiated through the Leganto interface, it follows certain rules set in the system (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Instructor Rollover Operations). If «Citation statuses» is set to “Recalculate”, the rollover process treats all the citations as if they were new and consults the options set in the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” table. This can result in a variety of statuses for the citations in the newly rolled over list. This is a key step in the course making process for a lot of institutions.
    However, when using the Course Loading Integration Profile to rollover multiple courses at once, choosing “Recalculate” does not result in the same process. The “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” table is still consulted, but only citation statuses marked as “Complete” are considered, the rest are given “Ready for Processing” regardless of parameter value.
    The justification for this seems to be that when an instructor initiates a rollover, he/she would still need to send the list to the library for review as a separate action, which is what normally marks everything that isn’t “Complete” as “Ready for Processing”. This gives the instructor the opportunity to check the citations, update them and treat them as if they were new before sending the list to the library for review. When using the integration profile, the thought process seems to be that this middle step is rendered unnecessary because the library is the one initiating the process, and therefore any citations can go straight to “Ready for Processing”. This is NOT accurate or compliant with our workflow. When we do a rollover using the integration profile, we are still relying on instructors to go through the reading list after the fact before they send it to the library. Any number of changes can still be made after the rollover is done – the resulting list is just a template for the new semester. IT IS NOT considered ready for processing by the library – the instructor is still expected to check that resources are still needed, valid and up to date. This is harder to do when the statuses are binarily applied as either “Complete” or “Ready for Processing”. This also makes it harder for the library to assess the progress of reading lists and to keep accurate statistics.
    The goal for this Ideas Exchange is to normalize the behavior between these two modes of rollover, so that “Recalculate” behaves the same way regardless of mode. If a rollover is initiated and “Recalculate” is selected, we want it to accurately consult the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” table and apply the statuses chosen here.

15. Add Workflow Notes to Reading List Citation Slips

    Currently, Reading list citation slips are not configured to include Workflow Notes, which means processing instructions are not included on the pull slips and that information must be retrieved separately. It would expedite reading list processing to have Workflow Notes included in these slips (which currently include basic bibliographic information, call number, and bar code).

16. Complete change log for reading lists

    Our Instructors are in need of a feature that allow them to retrieve/view a complete change log for reading lists.

    The feature ‘View recent changes’ is somewhat similar, but the feed currently only display changes made by others - not your own. It would be great if this feature were expanded to include all changes made on a list.

    Being able to review all changes made to a reading list is not only useful for monitoring a list, it is also an important collaboration tool – primarily with fellow Instructors, but also e.g. when reviewing course material changes with faculty administration.

17. Link from course info to reading lists

    Today for the two thousandth time(*) I've searched in Alma for a course and absent-mindedly clicked the course code link in order to get to the reading lists, then had to go back and get to them via the ... menu instead.

    Reading lists have a "Courses" tab - can the course information page please have a "Reading lists" tab? Or even just a link from the sidebar to the "Course's Reading List " page.

    (*) Conservative estimate.

18. Add option to import citations in bulk to "Search the Library" and "Import References"

    Currently, it is only possible to add one single citation at a time to a reading list when using "Search the Library" or "Import References from Zotero/from Mendeley". It would be very convenient if instructors could select multiples citations in the results list and import them in bulk into the reading list.

19. Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo

    When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up with a confirmation that the item was successfully added, then an on-screen link that takes them to Leganto (ideally directly to the list they just added to!)? This is of interest for faculty at our institution, many of whom start the process of adding citations from the discovery interface rather than the Leganto interface.
