Find all lists for a faculty when courses are associated to subdepartments
Would it be possible to change the structure of the Academic Department table so that Faculties and associated sublevel (institutes/department) are matched together in Alma/Leganto.
When both faculties and institutes are visible in the Leganto search it creates an expectation for the user that by choosing a faculty, they will get to see reading lists for all courses within the faculty regardless of the department. However, as the courses are usually associated to the departments, they will get no results.
Because of that we have recommended that our institutions upload either faculties or departments, not both, but we think it would be a useful feature for the end user, hence this enhancement request.

Is this another way of trying to define a hierarchy for Academic Departments? Am wondering how it differs from:
