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…1 vote -
Set default citation statuses in RIS import
When we add an item manually, a resource locate is run and a default citation status is added based on our configuration. But when we import items in a batch (eg via RIS import), these actions don't take place.
This means that items all import as "Being Prepared" instead of being automatically marked as "Complete" (if we have full-text online available) or being flagged for our attention (in other cases). We don't have a workflow to deal with this - due to low staffing we have to rely on automation - so we can't promote this batch import functionality to…

Additional copyright rule parameters
Currently we can create a copyright rule with a parameter "Publisher" so we could automatically block or approve copyright clearance requests based on the publisher.
The copyright licensing body in New Zealand provides a list of titles excluded from the licensing scheme. Some of these are defined by publisher, but others are defined by title specifically, by ISBN, or by author. It would be useful for us to create rules based on title, ISBN, or author to block our other copyright rules from automatically clearing copyright in these cases.

Course create dates from CMS Moodle- Leganto Chat
When an instructor creates a new course from Moodle, the start and end date of the course is the same and it coincides with the course creation date.
We would like the instructor, when creating a new course from Moodle, to be able to choose the start and end date of the course

implement SSO via Microsoft Azure for Leganto so that our Brightspace users do not have to logon via ezproxy when on an off-campus PC.
Our Brightspace users have already logged on via our university portal which uses Microsoft Azure SSO. From within Brightspace, they access the Leganto reading list where they click on Primo links to our subscribed resources. We use OCLC-hosted ezproxy to authenticate users when they click a link from the library website but when users have already authenticated into Primo or Brightspace via Azure, there is no need for them to be prompted a second time via ezproxy. This is a major inconvenience for our online-only courses where students all always coming from an off-campus PC but have already authenticated via…

If reading list can be restored, do not purge citations when deleting a course
If you have configured the setting deletereadinglist to logical, then deleted reading lists can be restored.
However, if you delete a course that has a reading list attached, and then wish to restore the deleted reading list, the citations on the list have been purged.
If you have set a deleted reading list to be able to be restored, it does not make sense to purge the citations on the list. We would like citations to also be able to be restored when the deletereadinglist setting is logical.

Editor button integration: show requirement to choose bibliography style
When selecting a citation using the editor button, the Add button does not work until a bibliography style is selected from the drop-down menu. For the new user, this can be confusing. It needs a visual indicator of some kind, such as prompt text in the box or an error message. Ideally, there would be default as there is for the link text, and it would be "sticky" -- remembering the user's last selection.

Make the template wizard accessible
Make the template wizard in the new UI accessible at any point during the creation of the list, not just at the initial setup stage. This would mean that if the list creator removed everything from their list to start again, or wanted to have merged templates (ie a week by week and a bibliography) they wouldn't have to create every section individually from that point.

Usability of Favorites especially in LTI view - Suggest from right panel
Using the LTI view the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.
Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy to other lists,…

File Upload box on Quick Start - New UI
Our instructors access from the LMS, and upon Quick Start, we only allow the options to Create from scratch or Upload a file (not to rollover). A large proportion of our instructors avail themselves of the Upload a file option.
We think the Upload a file or "Ask your library to create your list" option is greatly minimized in the New UI as compared to Classic UI, and that it would be nice for this option to have a box with an icon and button the same way the the "Create" and "Create from Existing" options currently do. We think…

Option to Hide Watch button when a citation YouTube video is not available to play outside of YouTube
The new UI allows users to watch YouTube videos from the citation level so the user does not have to link out to another window. If the video owner does not allow the video to play outside of YouTube, users will receive an error (refer to attached screenshot). It would be nice if it were possible to have the option to hide the 'Watch' button for instances where the YouTube video will not play outside of YouTube.

Automatic alphabetical sorting within each section
Several instructors at one of our institutions mentioned that they wished reading lists looked a bit more like bibliographies.
We are aware that changing the sorting is available in the list or section menu, but for instructors who are reluctant to use Leganto, this is already a step too much.
We would like a parameter that would, when turned on on institution level, automatically sort the citations by authors within a section.

Categorize "Related items" in new UI
In the old interface, when adding a physical edition of a book, you can check "Other formats and editions" in the right-hand side panel.
Existing editions are separated into "Electronic versions" and "Other editions".However, in the new UI, both electronic and physical editions are mixed and presented in one single list. If there are many editions of a book and the instructor is only looking to add an electronic version to a citation, then the many editions make it hard to quickly identify the few electronic versions.
The list would be more readable if electronic and physical formats were…

Allow reading list status to be changed (in bulk) from Task List without having to assign first
Currently there is no way to bulk select lists in the reading list tasklist page and change their status (e.g. to "being processed" or additional local RL statuses) without inidvidually assigning them first. This is a great ineffeciency for the tasklist, as it would really help to 'group' a set of newly received lists as 'being processed' in a single go, rather than having to go into each and every single list first. The set functionality for lists is fine, but this is something which is crying out to be possible from the Reading list task list. Equivalent features exist…

Allow placeholder text in author field
When instructors create a citation they have to enter the author manually. We want them to always enter the author as Surname, I.N. or at least Surname, Firstname - so students get used to the preferred citation format and for copyright reporting purposes - but there's nothing to remind them of this.
We'd like placeholder text to display in the author field, which would be configurable via the Labels code table.
