Enable customization of new edition tag
Use case: a librarian identifies an open textbook, or other title that would make a good replacement since an ebook of the prescribed text cannot be obtained. This is NOT a new edition of the title, but the functionality can be used to good effect in this scenario.
There are other scenarios for using the new edition functionality where the system tag "New edition" is not meaningful. We would like to customise it to something like "Alternative Suggested"
The notifications labels for this are customisable so it makes sense that the tag should be customisable too.
Case: 06705050

Option to configure automatic Digitisation Requests with "Chapter" citations
It is possible to configure Leganto so that when a new "Book" citation is added, a new Purchase Request is raised in Alma.
However, with newly added "Chapter" citations, either the Leganto Instructor or Operator then has to raise a digitisation request manually from the list, for each one of these citation types.
It would help to have the option to configure Leganto so that each newly added "Chapter" citation could automatically generate a Digitisation Request, with the metadata from the generated Citation (including the page range or Chapter title) included in the request.
This would mirror what currently is…

Add purchase request to «Library Services”
At our institution, the instructors have difficulties figuring out how to make a purchase request. We use Leganto questions to make it easier for them, but this works only for some of the ways you can add items in Leganto. Our users assume that the purchase request is in the same location as the digitization request, i.e. under “Library Services” in the “Item actions” tab and as prominent link when the brief view of a citation is open (see print screen), but without instructions it does not occur to them that they have to set a tag for the purchase…

Customise DCS tags
The DCS is the UK's digital content store.
Currently the wording on DCS tags in Leganto is hardcoded. We would like the wording on these tags to be customisable.Use case - when a digitisation request is placed in Leganto a 'Digitisation in Progress' tag is displayed in Leganto. This can be misleading to instructors as the digitised request may not be covered by the CLA licence and the wording implies the library is working on the digitisation. A much better wording on this tag is 'Digitisation Requested'.

Expand Cross Ref Link resolver to include article subtitle
We have encountered cases wherein the Leganto articles do not resolve to the correct article; instead, they link to another article with the same title. After consultation with Ex Libris, this linking error was determined to occur for articles with duplicate titles because the CrossRef DOI enrichment for the linking parsers only uses the title as a match point.
Currently, addressing these errors requires Ex Libris intervention to make an exception for the citation. To prevent these errors in the future without one-off exceptions, we request an expansion of the CrossRef augmentation logic to include the subtitles.

Introduce a specific message for lists that have not yet been published and for which the library review has been completed
In the following scenario, a specific message for the instructors is missing in the Leganto user interface:
An instructor sends a list to the library for review without publishing it to the students. The message “The library is reviewing your list. Your list is not yet visible to students. To publish or send additional changes, click on "My list is ready" to notify the library.” is displayed in the banner on top of the list. The library completes the review and sets the list to “complete” status. In the UI the same message is still displayed.
We expect the instructor…16 votes -
A designated field for E-locators in citations
We would like a separate field for e-locators in Leganto citations.
The publisher's use of this identifier is increasingly common, and included in several reference styles, such as APA. Today, the e-locator appears in the page number field, which can be confusing. The field should also be included in the export to RIS and to reference managers like Endnote.
A designated e-locator field would also be useful for Primo displays.

Add Leganto questions for Favorites
Currently the Leganto question feature is not available for items added from the Favorites to a reading list. It would be a useful enhancement if the appropriate questions would be displayed for items added this way.

Display more course details when pushing to Leganto from Primo
Instructors often teach the same subjects which are rolled over each new semester. This results in a long list of indistinguishable lists in the Push to Leganto feature since it only displays the list name.
Please provide configuration options for displaying course details alongside the list name, including course code, term and year. Institutions should be able to decide which of these course details to display in the Push to Leganto feature.
See attached for an example of how it might look.

Enable tags generated by questions to set item status
Currently the "revert_citation_status_by_adding_tags" options have no effect on citations that are tagged as a result of a question. This is because when the instructor answers the question and clicks "Confirm", first the tags are added, and then the citation is actually created.
Our use case is that if the instructor selects a certain answer, we want to apply a tag and based on that tag apply an automatic citation status ReadyForProcessing to ensure it appears in the tasklist for library staff.
A possible solution is to reverse the order of operations when the instructor clicks confirm: first create the citation…

Search/filtering of list selection dialog in Primo "Send to Leganto" action
When adding a citation from Primo using the Leganto action object, users are presented with a drop down list of all reading lists they are an owner or collaborator on. This list is sorted from oldest to newest and it's difficult to find the proper list if many are displayed.
Our faculty liaisons and course reserves staff frequently use this tool and may be collaborators on scores or even hundreds of lists that may have similar names. Faculty too, may have multiple lists of the same name if they teach the same course from term to term.

Better layout for ‘Ask your library to create your list’ on the quick start screen
Libraries can display the “Ask your library to create your list” option on the quick start screen. We think it would be great if this option would be displayed in the same layout as the options “Create new list” and “Select existing list” in a box with title, image, description, and button.

Process and enrich citations job - additional field required
We have run the Process and Enrich citations job very occasionally to pick up URLs which may have changed but the resulting file always needs a huge amount of work because it includes loads of historical data. It would be much more useful if it included the field "Publication list visibility", so that we could filter to discover just those citations which are currently visible to our students.
We would like to run this job on a regular basis in order to proactively fix issues, even before students or instructors spot them. We think that instructors will be more likely…

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.14 votes -
Add Springshare LibChat chat widget to Leganto new UI
A large number of Leganto libraries are also Springshare chat users. It would be very helpful to be able to integrate the LibChat widget on the new Leganto UI. In Primo VE this is done by via the customisation package, but it would be helpful if it was enabled as a config option within Alma to enable customers to input their Springshare chat widget ID within a hard coded optional interface feature.

Link to citations from 'all titles' search display
When doing a titles search on Alma, there's no way to immediately tell if a record appears on a Leganto list. Could there be a title information option called 'Citations' with a number that links to a citations search for that MMS ID? Similar to how 'Orders' appears.

Leganto Questions: add an option to configure optional note fields
When adding answers to a Leganto question, it is possible to include a free text field in which additional information can be added. If such a free text field is configured, it becomes automatically mandatory. We have use cases in which we would need an optional note field, so that the instructor can decide if it is necessary to provide more information. Therefore, we would appreciate if a configuration option would be added in the Item Request Answer table which would allow the library to set the free text field optional or mandatory.

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…

The possibility of adding and removing tags in bulk from a citation result search
In Alma> citation search:
Sometimes you have several citations that need to have added or removed the same tag. Now, you need to open every single citation or run a job.
It would be a nice workflow if there was an action to tick-off and add a tag in bulk from the search result display just like we’re able to remove alerts in bulk.13 votes -
Upload one file per page range allowed
Some material types like book chapter or book extracts, allow to have two page ranges.
However, it is only possible to upload one file.The page range data from the citation is used in our copyright platform integration, and PDF files are created based on this data, that is, one per page range. Having to merge the files before uploading them is unnecessary extra work so we would like to be able to upload several files per citation (1 per page range).
