Keep deleted citation records in the system
When we remove a citation record the system delete it without any historical information.
It would be very useful to mantain the information about the deleted citations (and be able to collect this information with Analytics, as is currently the case with bibliographic records) to perform tasks on the documents physically, like changing items location or removing stickers...
53 votesWe will do this as part of the NERS 2024 request to provide an undo option for deleted citations. The information about deleted citations will be preserved but for a limited amount of time.

Hide start date and end date when creating a (new) section
In the June 2024 release, we were given the possibility to hide the due date from the quick edit view of a citation. For the same reason, we need to hide the “start date” and “end date” fields when creating a (new) section.
Once published, our citations must always be visible to all students. At our institution, Leganto Lists are mandatory for all our instructors because students should always have access to the lists, also to the ones that refer to previous academic years. If an instructor fills in the “start date” and “end date” fields, citations will no longer…50 votes -
Display Public Access Model message in Leganto
At UNSW, we use portfolio’s Public Access Model to indicate if an eBook has unlimited or restricted access. The same message also shows in Primo so users are aware of the conditions before accessing eBooks.
We believe the information will also benefit our Leganto users, but unfortunately, the message doesn’t display in Leganto, so we would like to propose the idea of displaying the Public Access Model message in Leganto.
We raised a case with Ex Libris, but they said it is not part of their current development work plan.

Rollover - Allow Excel files to be directly uploaded to course loader integrated profile
Currently we have to create a spreadsheet for a course rollover, then re-format it into text tab delimited file and then add it to a FTP server before it can be run in the course loader integrated process. This is a long winded process where errors can creep in.
It would be an improvement if you could upload the file directly in the Course loader integrated profile as a file upload. It would also be better if this upload could be an Excel spreadsheet rather than a text tab delimited file

Importance tags - limit to one per citation
We use importance tags to inform our purchasing, but often encounter citations which have been given multiple tags. We would find it useful to be able to configure the system to allow only one importance tag per citation.

Deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists
We would like to have the possibility to deactivate filters in “lists” area and filters related to citations inside the lists.
Some of these types of filters are not relevant for us.For Examples:
CITATION FILTERS:
- DUE DATE: no due date in our workflows. Once published, lists and citations have to be always available to our patrons.
- STATUS: citation status are related to the activities carry out by librarians, instructors don’t need to see them
LIST FILTERS:
- COURSE STATUS: the distinction between active and inactive course is not relevant for us
- LIST TYPE: we automatically create…45 votes -
Report of instructors having opted in or out for notifications
In Leganto, instructors can opt in or out to receive email notifications on events. In order to know to what degree we can rely on these for communications (and under what circumstances we need to approach the instructor by other means) we would like to create a report in Analytics (or in Alma) to see which instructors have opted in or out.

Allow Leganto to display different general messages to different user groups
Leganto February 2021 release included an Ideas Exchange introducing:
“Two new parameters allow you to define when and to whom the value in the general message parameter will display…The new generalmessagerole parameter allows you to specify that the value in the general_message parameter will display only for the user role indicated”The University of New South Wales welcomes this enhancement. We believe that the ability to display a different message simultaneously in both Leganto Instructor and Student environments improves this communication functionality further.
This provides the benefit of varying the wording of messages aimed at differing target groups.…

Add a librarian/reviewer field to Reading List in Alma
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…

View list citations in different referencing styles
Would it be possible to apply different bibliographic styles within the Leganto list view, as well as being able to apply these when exporting to Word format.

Improve functionality of Courses API
We use the Courses API to load units from our Learning Management System into Alma/Leganto. We would also like to use it to roll over reading lists, however, it is missing key functionality that we require for our workflows.
Because of this we have to manually roll over lists. During peak times this is a weekly job and takes up an undue amount of staff time.
The 2 main improvements we would like to see are:
-Addition of Write functionality for Tags: We rollover citation tags and this is not supported by the API.
-Citation Copyright: When trying to create…36 votes -
NEW UI: Leganto cover thumbnail size in the new UI
Sometimes, Instructors are in trouble when trying to identify the correct citation to manage. It would be helpful if the thumbnails of the books' cover for the instructor view would be bigger.

Availability of “Request digitization”: Take item policies and existence of a digitization department into account
In the Leganto UI, the option “request digitization” is sometimes displayed although digitization is actually not possible. There are two different cases:
he item belongs to a library without digitization department.
If an item belongs to a library without digitization department, the option “request digitization” is still available in the associated citation in Leganto. If an instructor tries to send a digitization request for such an item, an error message is displayed.The item has an item policy that does not allow digitization.
If an item associated with a citation in Leganto has a “no copy” item policy, the option…

Sort citations by section in Alma
Most of our institutions use a two-section structure in Leganto, where one section is recommended literature. Citations in this section are not treated the same way by the library as "mandatory citations". Hence the need to sort citations in reading lists by section in Alma.
The feedback we got from an institution is that they would like "Section" to be a filter/dropdown menu where they can choose a specific section, the same way the tag menu works.

Better interoperability – add a new symbol in Alma as an indication when an attachment is hidden in Leganto
We use the Leganto citation ‘Hide link’ feature to hide attachments from the Student view.
As UNSW process reading lists in Alma, it will be helpful if there is a symbol to indicate the attachment is hidden so we don’t have to select the "View in Leganto" for each citation to check whether the attachment is hidden or not.
We manually add a tag to show if an attachment is hidden, but it is not practical.
It will be even better if the ‘Hide link’ option is available in Alma, in addition to Leganto.
Thank you.

Limit the number of times an importance tag can be used on a reading list
We would find it very useful to set a limit on the number of times a tag can be used on a list – for example to configure tags so that only one item per reading list can be tagged as Core. We use this tag to flag items requested for our eTextbook Programme and this would help us avoid the issue of multiple Core-tagged items.

Vertically align the "view online" button in citations
Hello. We are migrating from Talis to Leganto.
In Talis, our students can see the "View Online" button clearly in the bookmarks. This button is always in the same place as they scroll through the list. See the first attached image. It makes for a consistent UX. Students primarily access their reading list content electronically (including articles, websites, scanned chapters) rather than finding a print copy on the shelves.
In Leganto however, the "View Online" button comes after the print holding locations in the citation. This means that as the user scrolls through the list, the "View Online" location in…

Add parameter "no list expected" to make sets and global changes to courses via "Course bulk update" job
A few monts ago, Alma added the option "no list expected" to the courses. This parameter can only be searched through Analytics, but we want to:
-make it available in Alma to refine searches when making sets.
-be an option to make global changes to courses in the "course bulk update" jobExample: I want to make a set with all courses that belong to an academic department and the parameter "no list expected" is unchecked.
Then, I want to make global changes to mark "no list expected" in all courses of this set.30 votes -
Zotero/ Mendeley Import: Add option to select a folder/ a collection
In Zotero and Mendeley, users can organize their references in folders or collections. In Leganto, however, citations from reference management systems can only be imported at the library level (everything). Especially for users with extensive reference collections, it would be much clearer if a specific folder or a specific collection could be selected when importing citations into Leganto.
