When resource locate is run on a single citation, Alma will only locate it if a single match is found; if there are no matches or multiple matches then the resource locate will fail and the citation's status will change to declined.

The resource locate multiple match priority settings, which we use to prioritise electronic inventory, currently only apply when running resource locate in bulk using the Process and Enrich citations in Bulk job or when citations are added in Leganto by instructors. It does not apply when running resource locate on a single citation in Alma i.e. as happens when clicking save and run.

It would be useful if these settings could be utilised when running resource locate on a single citation, and would streamline the process of staff having to run resource locate and manually select the desired resource, particularly if the only matches are print and electronic records of the same title. This would mimic the automated workflow used elsewhere.
