  1. Hide misleading 'Available in Formats' status in Search Results

    When searching Summon, via 'Add Items', it shows eBooks as available just because an ebook exists, and not necessarily because we own it - this can be misleading. It updates once the item is added to the Reading List, but should only show formats that are available or not show any format detail at all until the book has been added. In the example shown, we only own a print copy - but the results make it look like we own the e.

  2. Reset X when searching for items in list should reset results to all citations

    When using "Search for item in this Reading List", if a term returns a subset of citations, clearing the search term using the X ("Reset") icon in the search box does not return the user to the full list. It only clears the term out of the search box, leaving the limited results. The user has no intuitive path back to the full list, so they often click the back button at the top of the window and exit the list entirely.

    Conversely, if the search term returns no results, clicking the X icon does return the user to the…

  3. Add a refresh option (or auto-refresh) to My Collection when adding an item to a list

    Currently if you try to add an item to a reading list using the Add item/My collection option in the right-hand pane, there is no refresh option (unlike in My Collection proper which does have at least a refresh button. If users add items using cite it or push to my Collection from Primo, the list is not updated automatically and so it appears that the My Collection is not correctly updating.
    Adding a refresh would ensure the option shows all added resources as soon as they are available.

  4. Citations' Sticker price

    In a webinar recently, the trainer talked about being able to add a sticker price to a Leganto citation. This would allow the ability to generate a more accurate report on savings for students. However, currently this has to be manually entered for every citation. I know eventually we will be able to use the API to add this data, and even though that's better, it's not a great way to utilize the system. My idea is this:
    1) within Alma, citations have an assigned sticker price;
    2) in Leganto, when Instructors pull from these citations, they get that sticker…

  5. Add a simpler method of updating the number of participants on courses (in bulk)

    Although the API and Course loader options exist, the mandatory requirement to have a course ID and Course Name using the full CL template and the unwieldiness of the course loader profile SFTP etc for non technical staff suggests that it would be beneficial to add a simpler method for staff to manually update course participant numbers in bulk (i.e. a simple upload of 2 columns Course ID and Number of participants). Appreciate campus functionality, but for situations where no enrolment loader is possible, but regular updates are possible it would save much manual entry to just be able to…

  6. Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status

    Idea based on SalesForce case 00938590

    TLDR: Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status.

    In Leganto, there are two ways of initiating a rollover:

    A: Directly in the Leganto interface by staff or instructors
    B: Via a Course Loading Integration Profile in Alma

    When a rollover is initiated through the Leganto interface, it follows certain rules set in the system (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Instructor Rollover Operations). If «Citation statuses» is set to “Recalculate”, the rollover process treats all the citations as if they were new and consults the…

  7. Ability to email instructor(s) directly from Reading List

    In a patron’s account, you can email the patron directly from the General Information tab. We would like to see similar functionality in the ability to generate an email to an instructor directly from their Reading List.

    When working on a Reading List in Alma, the option to generate an email could be a live link in the Reading List Owner’s name in the Reading List Information box, or in the course information box above the Reading List, or in the Owners tab, or all of the above.

  8. Make Primo's related records indicator available for Leganto

    When setting the "primo availability for citations added from primo" parameter to false, related records are displayed for citations in Leganto.

    In theory this is great - for books and their ebook version as those are more or less the same thing.

    Where it gets problematic are cases where a textbook and its corresponding exercise book are related. Leganto just mixes the inventory without giving any indication that not all holdings are for the actual title (screenshot).

    Primo has a good solution for this - they added a header after the 'real' inventory and listed the related inventory below that.…

  9. Divide labels into areas for easier management

    Currently there are 2179 label rows. Is a very slow loading table and hard to work with.

    If the management of labels could be organized into areas or sections - something like the label table for Discovery/Primo VE - it would make the work flow a lot smoother, quicker and enjoyable.

  10. Review how the Alma course load/reading list rollover job works

    We run Leganto Rollover through Alma every year. It has been increasingly more difficult as the job takes longer each year.

    Can we please request that rollover process be re-evaluated in general. But specifically in the time it takes to process.

    We need the rollover to run in one day if possible. It seems that if rollover uses a large input file it takes a very long time. It's becoming unmanageable for our users as currently one load job is taking over 48 hours.

    We'd like it to be simplified in general. Obviously we are all different and each site…

  11. Managing data on rightsholders

    If customers could maintain records of the rightsholders that they interact with (publishers, etc), then they could use the same kinds of Leganto-based processes for managing copyright permissions for those vendors that they do now when interacting with CCC. This would prevent many customers from needing to maintain an external database for copyright clearance activity that doesn't relate to the CCC.

  12. Make the workflow-note deletable

    At the moment there is no way to get rid of the workflow-note created by Leganto Questions. Neither by hand nor via job.

    Ex Libris told us that this is by design, but to us this creates issues as we can't create "to do" reports in Analytics based on a note we can't delete after the job was done.

    It also does not improve the already cluttered 'Edit Citations' screen.

    Additionally it is possible to delete the corresponding tag (Citation > Edit > Tags > Tag type: Workflow) which contradicts the "by design" statement.

    We are therefore asking Ex Libris…

  13. Analytics improvement regarding Leganto and Esploro

    Set up an Esploro-Leganto integration in Analytics, that makes it possible to get statistics on how many assets from Esploro are cited in reading list (like you can create an list with Leganto citations there also are represented in Alma). E.g. how many citations in a specific reading list are from Esploro?

  14. 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.

    Existing options: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Leganto_Administration_Guide/Configuring_Leganto_UI_Elements/05_Configuring_Leganto_UI_Elements#Configuring_Headings_and_Text_in_Leganto

  15. Allow multiple tags to be added to a Leganto Questions response

    Currently you can only add one tag per response to a Leganto Question. We would like to be able to add multiple tags per response to improve messaging for our users.

    As an example, we use Leganto Questions to ask if a print book is key/essential reading, and add a "Key reading" tag if it is. If a print book is key reading on a list we will also start a process to buy an ebook, and we'd like to add a second tag to reflect this.

    This change would help academic staff to see which items on a list…

  16. Clearer display of link source

    We had a citation with two links, both broken. One showed the name of the collection it was in so easy to fix. The other one just showed "online.wiley.com" and I spent at least an hour trying to figure out what collection that was only to discover by accident that actually it was referring to the "Source URL" in the citation's own record.

    The display of links in Leganto should clearly tell administrators where the URLs are coming from to facilitate troubleshooting.

    Broken link alerts in the Alma tasklist should likewise clearly name (or ideally link to!) the collection or…

  17. Information displayed in Recent Changes of Reading List

    When I delete a citaiton from the reading list, I can see the information about the deleted citaiton from the "Recent Changes" tab of the Reading List in Alma, but I can't see any information other than Title.
    It would be nice to have more detailed citation information (such as ISBN, ISSN and MMS ID) to identify what citations have been removed.

  18. Duplicating lists - make it clearer that the duplicated list is the copy

    When you duplicate a reading list, '(1)' is added to the end of the title. This is easy to overlook, and academic staff often make multiple copies because they are not sure it has worked.

    We would like the duplicated list to say "Copy of" at the beginning of the title instead. This would replicate the behaviour when a section is copied and would more clearly differentiate the two lists.

    We would like to have a possibility to add information about librarian/reviewer (a person who is responsible for processing the list) or list coordinator (someone who distributes/assigns lists to reviewers in a particular department) to reading list in Alma. It should be an editable field, available for rollover, and visible in Analytics in Course Reserves Subject Area.

    In the future this information can be used to configure the following auto-assign-workflow: when the list owner sends a list to the library, the list changes its status to Ready for processing, Reviewer/Coordinator is activated as an assignee, and a message about auto-assign…

  20. Can course codes information be sorted from newest to oldest when using Manage Course Association/Rollover a list

    In Leganto, an instructor needs to look up a course when trying to ‘Manage course association’ or ‘Rollover’ a list to a course; however, the course codes information is listed in order from oldest to newest.

    The sorting is inconvenient for them as, in most cases, instructors tend to locate the latest course. We think it will help the instructors if the course information should be default in the order from the most recent course.
