New analytics criteria: count of number of sections
Currently analytics provides information about the order of sections in a Leganto list, but we just want a simple count of how many sections there are in each list

Allow institutions to configure the maximum number of citations on a list after which sections will be collapsed by default
It would be useful if we could configure the number of citations on a reading list over which the sections will be collapsed by default. The system setting is that any list over 100 items will be collapsed as default view, and we have the setsectionview parameter set to 'Yes' to allow default view to be manually overridden on a list by list basis, but we'd like there to be something in between that kicks in automatically, so shorter lists will still be expanded (which saves staff/students having to make extra clicks to view the full list) but…

Make all table columns for Courses and Reading lists search results sortable in Alma
For tables in Alma: it would be relevant if all columns are sortable by default.

allow public annotations by instructor to rollover
instructors use the "class discussion" tab to highlight and annotate certain important sections of a text, however when they reading list is rolled over to another term or course, all the annotations are lost. The instructor does not want to add them in every year.

Ability to configure citation processing rules to not generate purchase request
At the moment, the citation processing rules are configured in such a way to only enable the generation of purchase requests if the criteria of the rule are met.
It would be useful if it was possible to also create rules which could specify that a purchase request should not be generated if the criteria are met, and to be able to set the rules in order of priority. This should work in the same way as the fulfillment unit rules so that rules are worked through from top to bottom and only the first applicable rule is used; all…3 votes -
Allow multiple tags to be added to a Leganto Questions response
Currently you can only add one tag per response to a Leganto Question. We would like to be able to add multiple tags per response to improve messaging for our users.
As an example, we use Leganto Questions to ask if a print book is key/essential reading, and add a "Key reading" tag if it is. If a print book is key reading on a list we will also start a process to buy an ebook, and we'd like to add a second tag to reflect this.
This change would help academic staff to see which items on a list…

Add "Uploaded file" as availability option in questions
Currently we can have a question appear based on whether a citation is held in print, electronically, or in the digital collection. It would be useful to also have the option of having the question appear based on whether the user has uploaded a file to the item.
Example use case: we configure a question "EU" and it appears when the item has Electronic holdings and the user has also Uploaded the file. This lets us confirm whether they really need both methods, and make sure that copyright clearance is dealt with, which we haven't been able to make work…

Add broken link reporting option to citation ellipsis menu
Hello there,
A student user navigating through a Leganto list sees the "View Online" button with the citations directly available in the list, without having to click into the full view each citation to access the content.
They just click on the View Online circled in pink (see attached doc), and that opens a new tab in the browser bringing them to the content.
If this link does not work, how can they report as a broken link? They have to conscious that it is necessary to fully open the citation up, and then click on the "Mark as broken"…

view videos directly via a Leganto/ Alma Viwer
Uploaded video in Leganto can only be downloaded and cannot be viewed online. We think it would be a great feature if ExLibris could implement the option to view videos directly via a 'Leganto/(Alma)' viewer

Separate Alma "attach existing file" from Leganto "upload file" for automatic citation statuses
We have set citationuploadedfile to "ReadyForProcessing" so that when an educator uploads a file we know we have to pay attention to copyright audit and process the citation promptly.
When library staff use the "Attach Existing File" function in Alma it sets the citations to "Ready for Processing" seemingly using the same parameter.
We would expect that an Alma user attaching a file is very different to an educator uploading a file and we should be able to define the automatic citations separately.
Note: an Alma user uploading a file when editing a citation does not trigger this…

Add information on reading list creation to Alma Analytics
We would like to have more information about how a reading list was created in order to trouble-shoot issues. Could you please add fields to Analytics on whether the list was created via rollover, via the Duplicate option or by New List button, and whether in Leganto or Alma.

Create a configuration option that allows due back date to default to be empty instead of course end date
We don't remove things from physical reserves at the end of the term automatically. We wish to be able to have reading lists default to an empty due back date. Currently we have to create a set and run a bulk update job to clear the due back date because it defaults to the end of the term.
We propose a new configuration option somewhere that allows institutions to choose whether due back date defaults to the end of term, or whether it defaults to an empty value.

Filter to mirror Primo VE Availability facet
When a user searches via Primo VE they have the option to filter using a facet title Availability, which contains values such as "Held By Library" and "Available Online"
We would like to suggest Leganto receives similar functionality using the filter option which currently lets a user narrow down based on Section, Tag, Type and Other.
This would allow uses to easily and quickly narrow the citations on a reading list to those available online, without the need for the library to tag each citation.

Set location for physical reserves in request
It would be helpful within Leganto for instructors to determine at either the course or the citation level which pickup location they want their course materials to reside. For libraries with central processing groups that manage multiple physical locations, we cannot always rely on faculty to put a note in the request.

Automatic alphabetical sorting within each section
Several instructors at one of our institutions mentioned that they wished reading lists looked a bit more like bibliographies.
We are aware that changing the sorting is available in the list or section menu, but for instructors who are reluctant to use Leganto, this is already a step too much.
We would like a parameter that would, when turned on on institution level, automatically sort the citations by authors within a section.

Add style classes to citations imported to LMS editor
When citations are imported to an LMS text editor using the LTI 1.3 integration, these are added as HTML code with basic formatting.
Could the HTML elements which make up these citations have regular class attributes attached to them?
If so, we could use CSS included in our LMS to consistently style these citations to match the rest of our learning content.

Leganto questions when someone edits a citation from a book to a book chapter
We use Leganto questions to ask instructors whether a book chapter should be digitized or not. This works fine when they add a book chapter (manually or via search/Cite it!). However, in many cases, they can only find the whole book via search, and then they edit it and change the material type to book chapter. In these cases, the Leganto questions are not triggered.
We would like Leganto questions to also be triggered whenever someone changes a citation into a book chapter.3 votes -
Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally
Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally
In other areas the total for a category e.g. Order lines the total in the blue header is a tally of the items listed below e.g for Orders = Package + Renew + Claim.
However for Reading list figure does not tally with the entries below it which is confusing.
(In fact the entries add up to more than the total.)
This is because the Category ‘Unassigned’ actually is the total of 2 entries listed further down ‘Unassigned – processing’ and ‘Unassigned Complete’ and so these are not included in tally.…3 votes -
Ability to add new metadata fields to Citation Field Mapping table
Currently the citation field mapping configuration table in Alma only allows us to add a row with metadata that is pre-defined in a set drop-down list. We would like to be able to add to this list by creating extra metadata fields to choose from

Display (both) print holdings of citations that have had their availability merged in Leganto
It is currently possible to merge the availability of citations possessing different availabilities, i.e. print and online, in Leganto but it is not possible to merge the availability of citations where the availability is print and print.
For example - a citation of a regular sized junior fiction title and that of a citation of the "big book" version size of the same title which happens to be on a different catalogue record.3 votes
