Multi Course Export
Leganto currently allows instructors the ability to export a single class list to Excel. We’re asking for an expansion of that ability to allow librarians and/or faculty to export lists from a set of multiple classes at once.
Use Cases:
Program Review, this would allow program chairs or deans to review materials in use across their student’s course of study. This would let them analyze their data to identify materials for update and understand when citations overlap to provide a top down view of their program.Instructor review, this would allow instructors to easily review the citations used in their…

Add course context to notifications in Leganto
Currently (March 2018) notifications in Leganto don't really provide any course context, or grouping on the basis of course, e.g.
"- A new item was added to a list
New item added to the reading list [list name]
[User] added [title details]"which means that for users with many courses (students or instructors), and with several lists for a course, the context of what has really been added to where is quite confusing, or at least not very useful since the viewer has no real sense of what the change aplies to, rather they can only see the fact of…

Improve handling of expired user accounts for course owners during rollovers
For rollovers we copy the collaborators from the original list and usually this is OK, however we then start getting bounce back emails for Leganto notifications being sent to email addresses that are no longer active.
A couple of options that would be helpful...
1. Provide option in the integration parameters to prevent an expired collaborator being copied on rollover
2. Job report to provide a warning that a course owner/collaborator has an expired user account19 votes -
Increase the number of page range fields for Book Extract citation type
Colleagues whose day job involves working with Leganto have expressed interest in being able to add more page range fields for the Book Extract citation type.
At the moment there are only two page range fields that can be made use of, which use these types:
• Start Page
• Start Page2
• End Page
• End Page2We would like to be able to add at least 4 page ranges, so have these field types available also:
• Start Page3
• End Page3
• Start Page4
• End Page4Thank you for your consideration!
19 votesThis will be developed as part of the NERS enhancement cycle. Users will be able to add up to 10 page ranges.

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

Allow instructors to set a course as deliberately having no reading list
After the Jan 2023 release, a course can be marked as deliberately having no reading list in Alma (NERS 2022 #7744).
However there is no way for instructors to set this flag by themselves which would be a logical and convenient way of adding this information which the Library itself would not necessarily know itself from year-to-year or term to term.
It would also allow the Library to promote the flagging of courses as not requiring a list each year.Instead, instructors have to contact the Library to set it on their behalf which creates extra work.
We would like…

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…

Enable a forced SSO login for users accessing openly published reading lists Leganto via a CMS.
We publish all of our reading lists to "Anyone Full" which means that anyone with a link can access the list; we have partners or prospective students who may need to view the lists. Access to subscribed resources is restricted to registered users and anyone without a university login cannot access the links to resources, they can only view the citations.
Currently when students login to a reading list through Moodle, they automatically enter the list as a Guest and there is no prompt to login (unless you add a message to the list) which means that users may miss…

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.

Task Widget Filtered by Processing Department
UNSW is a library with multiple processing departments and during peak Leganto processing times clicking through the Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations to identify the workload for each dept creates an additional step in the process.
We do have the ability to filter the Reading Lists etc. by Processing Department once we have clicked on the option in the list, for e.g. Unassigned - Ready for Processing, however it would be helpful if those filters could be applied to the main menu Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations, visible on the ALMA home page, so that only the options requiring our…

Scheduling the dates of visibility of citations/attachments in NUI
We want to limit the dates between which citations or attachments can be viewed/downloaded. This is available in the classic interface but not in the new one.
It is usefulI when you (librarian or instructor) want to prepare the complete reading list at the beginning of the course, to set the dates on which citations/attachments will be made visible to users. This is good when your course works with case studies in a big way, for example.
In this situation, or similar, it is important because you are working with materials which students have to download and you don't want…16 votes -
Digitization request form in Leganto: add configuration options
As of now, the digitization request form used in the Leganto UI cannot be configured. We think that it would be a useful enhancement if libraries were able to enable and disable fields as well as define the number of note fields and page range fields such as it is the case for the digitization request form in Primo VE.

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.

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.

Leganto Refresh This Page
The ‘Refresh this page’ function in the old Leganto interface allowed you to refresh a long list with collapsed sections and would return the list with the sections still collapsed and only the section you were working on open.
This option has gone from the NUI. If you use the browser refresh, the list reopens without the sections collapsed. This is extremely disruptive to the workflow of staff and leads to time wasted and confusion in finding the part of the list that was being worked on.
Please can the 'Refresh this page' function be restored?

Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo
When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

Using "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists/Courses do not appear in this report.
We created a Leganto report with the subject area "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists do not appear in this report.
We assume that this is because there has not been any student interaction with these lists but there is nothing about this in knowledge center documentation.
We have been having to run separate analytics reports to get all the data we need it.
It would be nice to be able to use the Leganto Student Usage criteria to gather statistics on ALL the reading lists, courses and citations, regardless if they’ve been used or not.14 votes -
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 -
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).
