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…

Allow configuration of the "Most Common" items types displayed at Add Item in Leganto
When adding items in the Leganto user interface, the material type list is long, but a small number of material types are given prominence as "Most common". For the purposes of assisting instructors to correctly add certain item types (extracts, Eoffprints, etc, it would be very useful to be able to add items to this list or configure what appears. The most common is much larger and clearer and so for lesser used but important material types it can prove difficult for instructors to find them causing extra work and more unnecessary queries for library staff.

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.

Add Workflow Notes to Reading List Citation Slips
Currently, Reading list citation slips are not configured to include Workflow Notes, which means processing instructions are not included on the pull slips and that information must be retrieved separately. It would expedite reading list processing to have Workflow Notes included in these slips (which currently include basic bibliographic information, call number, and bar code).

Showing "Related Items" to student users
Please allow to shown the "related Items" to student users. A Professor just told us that he found it should be useful to students but his students are not able to see this part.

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 AlmaWhen 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…

Add option to import citations in bulk to "Search the Library" and "Import References"
Currently, it is only possible to add one single citation at a time to a reading list when using "Search the Library" or "Import References from Zotero/from Mendeley". It would be very convenient if instructors could select multiples citations in the results list and import them in bulk into the reading list.

Suppress tags from specified citation material types
We would like to be able to hide certain tags from specific material types, for example hide our 'Digitisation request' tag from citations which are already available electronically.

Complete change log for reading lists
Our Instructors are in need of a feature that allow them to retrieve/view a complete change log for reading lists.
The feature ‘View recent changes’ is somewhat similar, but the feed currently only display changes made by others - not your own. It would be great if this feature were expanded to include all changes made on a list.
Being able to review all changes made to a reading list is not only useful for monitoring a list, it is also an important collaboration tool – primarily with fellow Instructors, but also e.g. when reviewing course material changes with faculty…

Instructor role - view reading list status from Leganto
With the instructor role, the reading list status is not displayed when working on the list from Leganto.
We find it very necessary for the instructor to know at all times what state the reading list is in so that when the process is finished, he can publish the list. We ask that this privilege be included in the instructor role.25 votes -

Automatic enrichment (update) of reading list citations
We are looking at using Rialto and ordering from Leganto looks to be a good option as Academics can place requests (Purchase requests) through the system. Ideally we would like the entry in Leganto to update the citation and status automatically once a bib is attached to the citation.

Hide locations from Resource Locate
Hide locations from Resource Locate
We would like an option to filter out specific locations for the resource locate functionality in Leganto.
For legal reasons we can't purge lost/discarded items, they have to remain in Alma where they are collected in locations that are suppressed from discovery so they don't show up in Primo. Unfortunately that doesn't exclude them from being used as positive results for resource locating even though they are not actually available.
We also have several collections that are not accessible to people but (some of them) show up in Primo. Those are also items we wouldn't…

Automatically set Open Access citations to complete
I'd like to propose a new functionality enabling citations that are open access to be set to "complete" (semi-)automatically.
Having to go through all open citations and checking each for possible open access is a cumbersome and time consuming effort we (the library) would like to simplify.
An "[ ] Open Access" checkbox within the Add Item menu, the citation and for Cite It! would enable instructors to do so themselves with little additional work on their side.

Add list reminder letter to Analytics
We use the Leganto list reminder letter in advance of each main teaching period to contact Unit Coordinators and ask them to submit their reading lists. We also report on the number of reading lists submitted compared to the number we communicated with. To do this, we manually keep a record of which courses we sent the list reminder letter for and match that to an analytics report. We would like the list reminder letter to be added to Analytics so that we can pull it as a field with other Course Reserves data. For example 'list reminder letter sent'…

Add link checker for instructors
When an instructor copies a reading list to use for another course/semester it would be nice the instructors to be able to run a link checker so dead links can be fixed before publishing the list.

Colour coding importance tags
Importance tags are an important way of indicating to students what their reading expectations are. We are encouraging list creators to reduce the number of sections in their lists and combine essential and background readings into single sections, using the importance tag. The tags are the same colour regardless of the criteria.
We would like to suggest a means of colour-coding tags so it is visually clearer to the student what the importance of a reading is, e.g., an essential reading could be customised with a green importance tag; a background could be customised with an orange importance tag. Each…

Enable set-creation for citations, reading lists, and courses
At the moment, creating sets for Leganto to run jobs on is a pain - contratry to other indices in Alma you can't just click 'Save Query' and then run a job on the set.
No, you have to create a list either from an Excel export or Analytics and then create an itemized set from it.This is extremely annoying because you have to create a new input list and a new set every time you need to run a job.
Please enable the creation of (logical) sets for citations, reading lists, and courses from a search in Alma…

Save a selection of Citation menu option as the default view
When entering Citation view to process current course reserves, you must first always select from the List Assigned to menu "Assigned to me" and then apply various other filters to limit the view to what needs to be processed. It takes time to apply each filter each time the citations list is accessed; allowing some filters to be "sticky" or default according to processor preference would save time when processing citation requests.
