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.

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.

Add Linkedin Learning resource to the list of supported sites
This Idea to to ask whether the LinkedIn Learning resource used by many institutions for training/self-directly study and learning activities could be added to the list of supported websites for the CiteIt! bookmarklet tool in Leganto for Instructors to harvest metadata and page urls for landing pages and individual courses/course videos possibly

Deactivate the bubble "Add items"
The bubble which pops up when you create a new list and indicates 'Add items' is useless, the 'Add items' button is obvious and does not need a contextual help to be noticed.

The initial display of Citation Manager setting
The initial display of Citation Manager settings is Zotero.
We would like Zotero to remain available and initially display Mendeley's Settings.9 votesClosing because the behavior is different in the new UI. Please open a new idea if needed.

Display whether citation appears on another list
Previously there was a feature that displayed whether a citation existed on another reading list, with some limited functionality, e.g. only displaying if the other list was also on your My Lists page and the citation was an Alma repository item. This feature was taken away by Product Management in January 2022. We have received feedback from instructors that they would like to know when a citation is in use on any other list at the institution, including those not taught by them and where courses are not currently active (but lists are Published). This ensures they are not duplicating…
10 votesWe removed this option because it was limited to Alma repository items and therefore displayed inaccurate information. We do not plan to add it back in.

Visualización del tipo de documento en Leganto
Nos gustaría que en la lista de lectura de leganto el tipo de material (Libro, WWW, Artículo...) apareciera en una línea solo y el título del documento se visualice en línea aparte. Así se tendría una visión mejor del tipo de documento y la cita en sí misma.
3 votesIn the new UI, the type and the title are on two separate lines.

Reading Lists with status “New Citation Added to Completed List” displayed in task lists
We have added the custom reading list status called “New Citation Added to Completed List” in “Additional Reading List Statuses” in our configuration.
For the moment, we are only able to see reading lists with this status in Alma when viewing reading lists “Assigned to Me”.
It would be very useful and make working with reading lists easier if we could have a task in the task list displaying reading lists where this status is present.

Allow institutions to use old display of "Add items" menu
Prior to May 2021, the 'Add items' button opened 'Library Search' in the panel, with other options available in small tabs. Since May 2021, the panel shows a menu with several boxes (at Sheffield we only see three boxes).
This changed view means that getting to Library Search takes an extra click and it increases the risk that academic staff will manually enter the details instead of using Library Search. We would like 'Library Search' to be given priority.
We would like institutions to have the option to return to the previous view to encourage staff use of 'Library Search'…

Include option for sans-serif header font in Leganto
Currently the four options for fonts in Leganto all have serif fonts as their header fonts. Our university has recently moved to a new webpage style where all text (headers included) is sans-serif, and we'd like an option to have this reflected in Leganto for the sake of consistency.
The existing font options already include sans-serif fonts for content text, so perhaps one of these could be suitable as a header font in the correct size.
6 votesClosing idea because the new UI uses a new font. Please open a new idea if needed.

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…

Add Leganto Question when exporting title from Primo
We were asked by multiple instructors why there is no Leganto Question when they push a title from Primo to their reading list via the export functionality.
As we are using this (amongst other things) to remind them to add tags to their citations, instructors really depend on this feature and don't understand why it's missing in Primo.We as librarians also don't understand why the feature was not developed when 'Export to Leganto' was added to Primo's export actions last year.
If there is a connection between products (like Primo <> Leganto) all features should be available. Everything else…
18 votesHi,
Thank you for being involved.
We are closing this idea as it would require an excessive amount of time to develop.
We would love to hear any other suggestions you may have for addressing the same issue.
Best Regards,

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.

Increase the Loading Performance of Larger Reading Lists
We would like to be able to create reading lists with more than 100 items, but they tend to load slowly when we do. Please increase the loading performance of reading lists so that we can create larger lists without impacting usability. We would like to see at least 300 items in a list without negatively impacting performance.

Improve customization and branding for Leganto
Currently, Leganto branding and customization settings do not work well together. In Branding, you can change the color of the header and separator bar, but the button that reveals the hamburger menu does not change color even if you put the correct color code in the field for the Leganto left panel color.
In Customization, you can change the color of the hamburger menu, but this overrides the color codes in the Branding menu for the header and separator bar. You can put a color code into Leganto color in Customization instead, but that changes the color for everything, including…

Leganto marketing toolkit
We love the images to market Leganto, made available by Ex Libris at https://go.proquest.com/Leganto_toolkit?utm_campaign=HQ_CS_Alma_Apr2021&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=136054310&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9hnBBn-5Ej3AOiCvhlpgG49ATE_mC_yHRvptquh9fkYiNwXdjotGijUYCEfnsOTrV45Fz0j4llGlOwtS-KpqECKgOSIQ&utm_content=135764548&utm_source=hs_email.
We take note that we can upload our institutional logo to these images but would like to be able to edit/add text also. This will allow us to adapt the Ex Libris message for our own needs and according to our own slogans and messages we wish to convey to our instructors.

Add in Leganto the possibility to get a QR code for a reading list
As ExLibris / Leganto manager at Universidad de León (Spain), I would like to add in Leganto the possibility to get a QR code for a reading List, similar to the recent Primo VE enhancement. This will allow patrons quickly get a reading list whatever device they use, mainly when using mobile phones.

Display logo and favicon in the Leganto configuration area
When we upload a header logo and/or a Leganto favicon, it doesn't show in the configuration area. Having it there would improve the experience because it would be easy to see if you had uploaded a logo/icon or not, and which one it was.
This isn't a huge problem, but it also seems like it could have a simple solution - just display the file and filename in the Alma config.
