Preserve Scroll Position After Bulk Actions
When performing bulk actions on the citations list (e.g., selecting multiple citations and updating their status via the Citation Status menu), the page currently refreshes and automatically scrolls back to the top of the list. This forces users to manually find their previous position, which slows down workflows, especially when reviewing long lists.
Proposed Improvement:-
Implement a method to preserve the user’s scroll position after bulk actions. Possible approaches include
-Maintaining scroll position after the list refreshes.
-Updating only the modified items instead of reloading the full page.User Impact:-
-Reduces repetitive scrolling.
-Less disruptive when reviewing large reading lists13 votes -
Improve privacy of cookies
The Leganto teacher/student-facing interface currently uses OneTrust to request both Performance Cookies(1) and Targeting Cookies(2). Cookies default to 'on' unless the user clicks six different links / tabs / toggles / buttons to change this.
Please remove all the Targeting Cookie functionality. Your advertising partners should not have access to our students' use of reading lists in order to learn about their interests and advertise to them. This is unacceptable.
Please set Performance Cookies to default to 'off'. (I know OneTrust can do this because this is how cookies behave on the ProQuest Support site.)

Can course codes information be sorted from newest to oldest when using Manage Course Association/Rollover a list
In Leganto, an instructor needs to look up a course when trying to ‘Manage course association’ or ‘Rollover’ a list to a course; however, the course codes information is listed in order from oldest to newest.
The sorting is inconvenient for them as, in most cases, instructors tend to locate the latest course. We think it will help the instructors if the course information should be default in the order from the most recent course.

View lists assigned to me in Leganto
When viewing lists in Leganto, it would be beneficial for library staff to easily see all the lists assigned to them in Alma along with an indicator or filter for lists that are incomplete. Currently, library staff see lists where they are the owner/collaborator, lists they've added to 'My lists' or they can search 'All lists', yet there is no way to know which lists have been assigned to them in Alma (nor which lists require attention). For ease of processing, there should be an option in Leganto for library staff to set the default view of lists assigned to…

Digitisation Approved Alert for Instructors
Feedback from Instructors has been that they would like an alert when a digitisation has been approved/goes live on the list (in our case, from a sync with the DCS). This would both enable instructors to know when the digitisation has gone live, and also enable them to query with the library when they have not received an alert (i.e. that the digitisation hasn't been made, or has been rejected). Alerts would ideally appear as one of the alert option dropdowns in the Leganto interface.

Ability to edit/streamline clipboard Leganto Task List
The current Leganto Task List includes items that are not tasks - they are completed. We'd like to be able to config/edit this display so that only actual tasks ie. 'processing' and 'ready for processing' are displayed.

Enable a forced SSO login for users accessing openly published reading lists Leganto via a CMS.
We publish all of our reading lists to "Anyone Full" which means that anyone with a link can access the list; we have partners or prospective students who may need to view the lists. Access to subscribed resources is restricted to registered users and anyone without a university login cannot access the links to resources, they can only view the citations.
Currently when students login to a reading list through Moodle, they automatically enter the list as a Guest and there is no prompt to login (unless you add a message to the list) which means that users may miss…

New general setting for enabling/disabling multiple lists per course
There's a general Leganto setting for multicourse_lists "Whether to enable multiple courses for reading lists: enabled, disabled."
We would like to add the converse option: enable/disable multi-list courses. By disabling multi-lists per course, only one list could be made for each course via the Leganto interface.
The reason we would like this is to allow instructors to create new lists via Leganto (rather than only by LTI) but not allow them to associate multiple lists per course as this has a negative impact on the embedded LTI view and the way that courses/lists display in the Primo VE full record…

Allow HTML in the new UI label 'copyright_clearance_header' (digitisation request form)
The digitisation request form (CLA) has a description field underneath the main header, called 'copyright _ clearance _ header' in the new UI labels. It would be helpful if HTML could be entered in this field to direct users to more information about digitisation services.

Auto publish option for instructor rollover
The new autopublishon_create functionality works when an instructor creates a new list from scratch in Leganto, but when they rollover it doesn't take effect.
This is counter-intuitive for us, since instructor rollover is precisely the situation where the library has previously seen the list so doesn't need to review it again.
Can instructor rollover be included in the scope of the autopublishon_create functionality?
Or even better, instead of a binary true/false setting, it could take a list of different situations so libraries can choose when they want auto-publish to take effect: eg new lists, instructor rollover,…

Bulk job options to remove expired Alma user accounts from courses/reading lists
We'd like to remove expired Alma accounts from being course instructor/list owner. I picture these as parameters in the Reading List Bulk Update and Course Bulk Update jobs.
This is similar to an existing idea (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/46475206-improve-handling-of-expired-user-accounts-for-cour) but that one is specifically about flagging expired accounts during rollover, and we do not roll over courses and lists at Surrey.

Add RefWorks as an export option to the favourites area
Currently there is no option to export items from favourites directly to RefWorks like you can from other citations. Our users would find this useful as we subscribe to RefWorks.

Questions should not be triggered when items are added from reference management systems
We defined questions that are triggered when a citation is added that has no inventory. Now we have the problem that these questions are always triggered when a user adds items from a reference management system (Mendeley, Zotero, …), even if the library actually owns inventory for these items. This happens because the resource locate process is not initiated when adding items from a reference management system.
The best scenario would of course be that the questions in the “add from reference management system” flow are only triggered when an item is added that meets the criteria. As this scenario…10 votes -
Add a status of 'digitisation archived' for DCS requests
Currently there are two statuses for digitisation request licence status - approved or rejected. Requests that have been temporarily archived show as 'digitisation rejected' which is inaccurate and could be misleading. We would like to request a new status for those requests that exist in the DCS, but have been archived and are not currently available to students.

Improve searching for citations in Leganto list view
Searching for citations in Leganto can sometimes show inaccurate and unexpected results. For example, if someone tries to use "" to search for an exact phrase, it won't bring up results because "" isn't supported as a search operator. Or, if a book title has a special character - e.g.( /?/-/./( - in it, including that character in your search won't bring up the book. There is also no support for partial matching on words, e.g. "manage" won't bring up "management". This causes confusion for users if they don't understand why results are being affected and can't find resources. We…

Add Citation links, PDF download, notes, tags when embedding individual citations in Canvas
When embedding a specific citation within the LMS (Canvas), and we use either a Bibliograhic Style or the Exlibris "Expanded Reading List Style", there should be an ability to display more information about the citation including: Links to the resource, View PDF, Notes (with note type), Tags, so it matches the look & feel when navigating through citations in the Reading List.
This way they don't need to exit the LMS (Canvas) by clicking on "View Item" just to access the links and additional information about the citation.

Automatic purchase request needs to be triggered automatic with a scheduled job
Currently the Automatic Purchase request process in Alma. Is not Automatic. Staff have to go into a citation and re-save it for the automatic process to be triggered. Or we have to run the Process and Enrich Citations job to trigger the automatic purchase request.
It would be better if this process was ran as a scheduled job like the active courses process. Rather than staff accidently triggering a purchase request by just re-saving a citation that they are working on.
It would be also good that automatic purchase requests do not have to be assigned a staff member to…9 votes -
Enable subscribed content for class discussion and assignments
(I'm not sure if this comes under the roadmap item "Support websites for Read and Respond assignments and Social Reading" or if it would be additional work.)
We have a lot of subscribed content where (depending on publisher T&Cs) we don't have a license to save a PDF in our reading list for class discussion etc.
It would be useful if Leganto could embed the content in a frame or similar (letting the student login where necessary, either by single sign on or EZproxy or some other method) so that it's not stored on the system but lecturers can still…

Rename citation file after upload
Currently the only way to change a citation file name is by downloading, renaming, and then reuploading renamed file, after deleting previous version. It would save a lot of time to be able to edit the file name directly in Alma, without having to download and reupload when using a specific name file convention.
The team that scans and uploads files is different to the reading list processing team and the file needs to be named correctly at a later stage after it's been uploaded. We also receive resource sharing files from partner libraries where we can't control how the…
