Order and remove citations in leganto, so users only have the best links at the top of a page.
When an article is available from multiple places, Leganto shows all possible links, which looks messy and can be confusing. It would be preferable to be able to suppress certain links, or re-order them so the 'best' link is at the top. If a link is added manually, Alma automatically overrides it and shows all the links again.

Although I do agree that the ability to remove links largely does take care of this. There is still the issue of order links. If a library decides to keep multiple links on a page, the ability to order them would be helpful.
Furthermore, this new functionality only really improves links. Physical items can only be removed as a whole. It would be helpful to be able to remove particular holdings and even items. -

Hopefully the Feb 2019 'Disabling availability links' largely addresses this, though there were some issues raised around the direct linking behaviour where Check availability reappeared if certain links were disabled/hidden. This is subject to further work from Ex Libris, expecting a list update.

Hi,
It's possible that the NERS Request 5892 voted through from the 2018 ballot will address much of this, i.e. "Ability to manage which links display for a citation in Leganto"Currently there are two levels of service visibility in Leganto's front-end:
i) Brief view (list level) - which behaves according to the configured customer settings for "force_direct_uresolver"
ii) The full item view (a lesser-travelled road for eresources, probably) which will show all the services, as you say in Links and Availability.
Connected to this, I know we're reviewing our Alma Fulfillment/ display logic configuration for the Online Services Order, to potentially boost publisher platforms and non-archive collections, and look again at Display logic rules to see if any collections could even be hidden in the context of others being present.
