Capability to assign citations to a different sections within a list
In a long list, dragging and dropping citations into a different section can be a slow process. It should be possible to simply select the list section (pre-populated) from a drop-down for each citation, and move the citation to that section

Option to rescale the right (discussion) pane
at this moment you're able to expand the 'discussion panel' at the right in Leganto. However our instructors would like to be able to make this pane even smaller when working on their lists!

Allow multiple citation material types to be selected in questions and answers mapping table
When configuring the question and answer pop up feature, currently in the question mapping table only one citation material type can be selected per row.
Therefore, if you want the same question and answers pop up to appear for more than one citation, you need to duplicate the question on multiple rows for each citation type. Allowing multiple citation types to be selected per row would avoid this duplication.
For example, we have a pop up configured to appear for books, book chapter and DVD citations to ask instructors to tag them for importance (Core, Essential etc), which allows library…

Ability to batch select and delete/copy/move citations in List sections (similar to Collections).
COLLECTION has a tick box feature that allows you to select multiple items to delete/import/export. In the List Sections, there is no such feature. For larger lists, it is cumbersome to delete/move/copy citations because it has to be done individually. It would be very useful to have the batch selection feature.

Change the message students see when clicking an LTI link if a course deliberately has no reading list
When students click an LTI link for a course with no reading list associated, they currently see a message saying that there is no reading list for the module. This message also displays even when the course has been marked as deliberately having no reading list.
This means students do not know whether there is deliberately no reading list, or whether one should be expected, and they have to contact their tutor or the Library to find out, causing needless confusion.
We would like the text of the message to be different if there is deliberately no reading list, so…

Deactivate Likes together with disabling of student discussion
It is currently possible to deactivate student discussions on reading lists, but the Likes/hearts are still visible even then.
We would like it to be deactivated as well, or have the possibility to do so, when student discussion is turned off.

Ability to add a paragraph or line breaks in Welcome to Leganto message labels
We have a requirement for our interfaces to be bilingual, especially the initial welcome message for a service.
In Leganto we have the ability to add text for a second language into the initial English Welcome message which is good, but we are not able to add a break between English and the second language.
I hope this is easy to do! Thank you.

Public notes to have text formatting.
It would be helpful to be able to do some basic formatting of Public Notes text. Such as being able to bold or colour fonts and change font size. This would improve the user experience as students would be able to more easily pick out Public Notes text in reading lists and academics could customise the appearance of the notes text they write.

Resource locate to default to "OR"
It would be useful if "Locate Citation by Fields" could be configured so that only one enabled field needs to have an exact match, i.e. the resource locate defaults to "OR" rather than "AND" where more than one citation metadata field is populated.
This would allow citations to be matched where a title is misspelled, but an ISBN is correct, or vice versa.

Make Hiding Incomplete Citations feature more flexible
There was a new feature in Leganto December 2019 release to hide incomplete citations. This feature has potential but can it be made more flexible so the Library can select which citation statuses to be shown to students and vice versa?
User Story:
As a librarian, our preference is for students to view all the citations besides issues that we need to verify with course instructor, e.g. copyright or licensing issues. It will be better if the Library can determine what citation statuses should be hidden from students.Scenario 1 :
UNSW uses citation status of 'ILL Requested' or 'In…4 votes -
Library Physical Digitization Request Option to Attach File to Citation For Which It Was Requested
When using the Library Physical Digitization Request option to create a digitization process for a file for a Reading List, the file is delivered to the Requestor at the end of the workflow. This request is asking for another option: an option for Alma to automatically upload the file to the citation for which it was requested. This would save a lot of time spent used for file retrieval and file management and would prevent the file being uploaded on the wrong citation.

Enable possibility to create deep-links /search-box for Leganto
We would like to be able to create a link to predefined searches for courses in Leganto. For example a link that gives you all of the courses from Spring 2022 that covers economy.
Leganto should support something like this:
https://[BASEURL]/leganto/rl/search/find/lists?academicDep=ALL&courseCode=&courseName=&courseStatus=ALL&description=economy&direction=asc,asc&instructors=&listName=&publicationStatus=PUBLISHED&sortOrder=code,rlnamesort&term=SPRING&year=2022Leganto use this functionality internally and you could create a response that provides a JSON-response.
It should be added an url-syntax that instead of the JSON converts this to be presented as a regular search-result within Leganto.
This is an example of a JSON-URL

Move multiple citations to another section on a reading list
When editing/updating reading lists, it would be useful to be able to move multiple items to another section of a reading list in bulk, for example by updating the 'Edit Multiple Items' function to include a move action, alongside a dropdown for the user to be able to select which section to move the citations to.

Limit the approvals request list
It would greatly improve workflow to allow the staff processing the Approvals Request List to be able to limit the items in the list by the year, semester and request type (e.g. to weed out Patron Request types). This would let staff show just the items they are interested in, and eliminate all the noise of the old approvals.
Attached is an example of how we would like the Status filter to appear on the Approval Requests List.

Hide old courses
Some course are run every semester which means there are potentially two courses to choose from when associating a list to a course.
There is a risk that the instructor chooses the wrong/old course.
It would be a nice feature to be able to hide old courses from instructors without deleting them from Alma, as they still might be useful.3 votes -

Add Course year/course terms as a filter/display element into Find lists and My lists
As instructors, Learning technologists and library staff own, collaborate or work on many lists for many courses over time, it would be useful - as is found in many VLE/CMS/LMS systems, to have course reading lists which are able to be filtered by Year AND or term information where this is available.
For the greatest flexibility it would be useful to allow visual grouping AND discovery options of lists by Course year or Course Term with configuration available as to:-
i) whether to display course year groupings AND/OR Course Term in My Lists
ii) whether to display course year groupings…3 votesAvailable in Feb release

Display Public Note Field on Compact View
Our lists are set as compact citation view by default because it's so much easier for users to take in the important information. But Public Notes on citations do not display in the compact view, making them effectively useless since many students will never see the public note if they click "view online" or "download" directly from the compact view of citations to access the content without ever going to citation details page. Please set Public Notes on citations to display in the compact list view.

Improve access to Public Notes - allow editing from the Citation edit option
Public Notes (instructor notes on resources visible to list users) are treated oddly in Leganto compared to other reading list systems - that is they are not given equal status as other citation metadata fields in the Citation Edit form.
Public Notes are regularly used by Instructors to annotate or qualify resources; to comment on and direct students as to the quality, purpose, priority, and considerations of using certain resources, or parts of resources.
In that sense the Public Note should be accessible for editing when editing all other item metadata (such as chapter title etc.
Currently the Public note…
