Manage Digital Representations
When looking at a citation, we would like to be able to see if "Manage Digital Representations" has been ticked by looking at the citation information without having to click through to "Manage Digital Representations" to check. Could a filter be added to filter what hasn't been checked on a reading list or some indication on the citation information section?

Course code facet in Manage Purchase Requests
Adding a facet for course code in Manage Purchase Requests would be extremely beneficial for staff processing reading list purchases, allowing them to view and work through all purchase requests at a list level.
Currently some course-related facets do exist in Manage Purchase Requests, such as course year and academic department. Being able to filter by individual course codes would a welcome addition to this. The course code can be viewed within the purchase request itself, so it seems logical to be able to add this as a facet
13 votesThere is an option in this screen to search by the course code.

Drag citations from list into My Collection
Could functionality be added so that citations which appear in lists can be copied to My Collection by drag and drop (rather than via options > copy to collection).
This seems logical, as you can do the reverse action to copy a citation from My Collection to a list via drag and drop.

Leganto Instructor Rollover - Relocate "Roll Over List" to appear next to "SEND LIST" button
As Library staff, I would like the Roll Over List button to be placed at a more obvious spot in Leganto, so instructors can easily find the button and Rollover their Lists with fewer clicks.
UNSW Library will enable the Leganto Course Instructor Rollover in November 2018. We want instructors to use this feature, and not be confused with the Duplicate List option.
Current Behavior:
1. Instructor opens a Reading List in Leganto
2. clicks on Reading list options menu option
3. selects "Roll Over List", which is beneath "Duplicate List"
Concerns:
a. They need to know where the button…13 votesWe're closing this idea because it is no longer relevant in the new user experience.

Leganto Analytics - add functionality to identify rolled over reading lists
At UNSW we encourage academics to use the Leganto Instructor Rollover feature. We need to report on percentage of reading lists that have been rolled over for each of the terms. This information would help us to track how our reading lists are re-used, and understand the impact of this functionality.
12 votesThe Courses subject area includes "Rolled over from code" in the courses folder. This displays the course code of the course the list was rolled over from.

List Analysis: ability to customise fields that display
When the List Analysis feature is switched on, it is not currently possible to customise which analytics fields display. Some of the fields relate to functionality which can be disabled in Leganto, therefore it should be possible to disable the related analytics field to not display in the citation analysis, as the usage will also remain at zero. This is discouraging and confusing for teaching staff.
For example, institutions can configure whether or not files can be uploaded to citations. If this is not configured, then the usage for 'Student File Downloads' becomes irrelevant and should be possible to be…

Display templates and other elements in the interface language
In today's interface, if you want the same template in different languages, you have to either create one for each language, or remember to have both languages in the section title when creating the template.
EX: Section 1: Obligatorisk/Mandatory
Templates consist of a name, description and section names. The person creating the template could be given the option to translate these fields when creating the template. Of course, it would be an advantage if templates could be edited later on.
All templates should be visible regardless of the interface language, but the template should be shown in the same language…

Remove citations' redundant punctuations
We noticed that there are redundant punctuations displayed in the citations added from Alma, could these redundant punctuations not show when adding the citations into the reading list?
I do know that Leganto uses "," to separate different fields like author, edition and publisher. It would be clearer and easier for students to read the details of the citations without these redundant punctuations.
We notice that what appears in the MARC record would be directly copied to the citation, please could an enhancement be made to check if the existing field has punctuation at the end and remove it from…

Let teachers make their own content open access
We have three kinds of content:
* copyrighted material - should never be OA
* teacher-created content that they want to keep to their class only
* teacher-created content that they'd like to share with other teachers and/or use to promote their classTo accommodate this third group, we'd like functionality that would let teachers tag content they've uploaded to be made open access. Functionality should:
make teachers confirm they (or the university as their employer) own the IP
let them choose a Creative Commons license
provide a permalink for the item where it's accessible publically
provide a platform where…

Instructor / list owner to receive notification when list and/or all list citations marked complete
It would be useful for the instructor to know when all citations have been dealt with by library staff so that they can then choose to publish their list (rather than making the list available to students despite some items not being obtainable).

Ability to lock section templates to avoid deletion
We have created two section templates (Weekly readings, Essential and background readings) in addition to the Blank default template. Any member of library staff with access to Leganto can delete the templates we created by clicking the x. We would like the ability to lock these templates to avoid accidental deletion by staff.
See idea 'Removal of standard blank template and ability to create a default institution template which cannot be deleted' for a similar suggestion, which was accepted in November 2021.
10 votesTemplates are managed in Alma in the new UI. Closing this idea as we believe it is no longer relevant.

Allow more than one digitization department for Leganto requesting
If you want to allow faculty to place digitization requests in Leganto, you can only specify a single department to manage these requests. This could either be at the institution level or inside an individual library. However, this is a problem if your institution has multiple campuses/libraries that may each want to manage their own digitization request workflows.
This enhancement would allow general systems administrators to specify multiple digitization departments in place of the current “managing_department” setting in configurations under Fulfillment --> Copyright Management --> Leganto Copyright Settings.

Add a Leganto-specific email address after "Reply to" in notification letters
Some institutions use a Leganto-specific email address, which they would like to add at the end of the Leganto notifications letters, where it says "Reply to" (see attachment).
The address listed after that (Contact us) is a general email address for the library/institution.
Not all of them may need to use different addresses but it would be nice to have the option.
Could you consider making the necessary changes, and add a <leganto_email> element in the XML as well (XML to letter admin)?

Reading List Status Changes based on Citations Statuses and Assignees
It would be great if the manual process of Changing a Reading List Status could be automated by Alma dependant on factors like Assignee being set to someone, rather than being for the Reading List. This could trigger the List Status to change from Waiting for Processing to Being Processed.
Another Reading List Status automation we would suggest is that when every Citation in a Reading List is marked Citation Status Complete, this could trigger the Reading List Status to be updated Complete.
Both of these Reading List Status changes are things that need to be performed manually at present…

Option to change the default tab on the Reading Lists Tasks List page in Alma
We'd like either a global option to set the default tab to All or an option for each user to select their own preference. This would improve the workflow for staff because they often collaborate on Reading Lists and searching from the All tab is preferable to searching from the other tabs.

Display series information in citation details
It would be useful if book series information (from the title record 440 and/or 490 fields) could be surfaced in citation metadata details. This is important information which should be displayed for the benefit of our users.

Possibility to add item to list and to "My collection" from the same screen
When adding an item to a list from the library search, one is presented with these 3 options: List, Clipboard and Suggestions (see screenshot). It would make sense to be able to add the item to one's collection from there as well. Instead, the instructor has to go to "My collection" and search all over again.

Leganto +ReadingList widget
In adding the +ReadingList widget to the bookmark manager of a browser, you need a two-step process. First click the widget from one's Leganto settings menu and click again on the widget button from the pop-up window. This is more of a user experience issue, many if unfamiliar will choose to drag the widget after clicking on the menu settings and will drag the URL instead of clicking another time to wait for the pop-out window to drag the right widget with the javascript (see below).
