Duplicate and Connect Courses Information Icon
We have found the options to duplicate vs connect courses causes a lot of confusion for our faculty. It would be helpful if we could add an information icon on each of those options in the search for reading lists that would display more information about when to select Duplicate vs Connect.

Include more information in the course tab on the user profile in Alma
At the moment the course tab on the user profile only contains columns for Course code and Section. There is no option to add more information about the user course enrollment.
It would be usefull to have access to more informations about the course enrollement in the user tab: Course name, term, year etc.

Colour-coded Student/Library/Instructor tags
Suggestion from our recent Leganto implementation survey:
There are icons to show the difference between student/library/instructor tags at the point they are added; it would be useful to library staff & Instructors to be able to see at a glance e.g. by colour-coding which tags are which after adding. (In a similar way that library staff can currently see some system-generated tags as a different colour from the user-added ones).5 votes -
“Select all citations” on list level, and not having to first select one citation for the toolbar to appear and then select all
The Select all item option should be placed right next to the search button (as indicated in the picture), and preferably not hidden under an action menu.
Already you can select all citations in sections in the Section menu, so it would only make sense to be able to do the same thing on a list level, for instance when you want to tag all citations in the list in one operation.
The preferred workflow would be one click to select all citations, and then having the toolbar appear, the same way it does when you select one citation.

Push citation due dates to student To Do list
In the LMS, students use the To Do list to keep track of course deadlines. Instructors would like the due dates entered in their reading lists to be included there, but currently citations have to be added to an assignment to make that happen. An assignment is not always needed or wanted, so functionality would be improved for the instructor if due dates for citations were automatically pushed to the To Do list in the LMS. Students would benefit from having all due dates in the same place.

Ability to configure order of course terms
When applying multiple course terms to a course, we would like to arrange them in a logical order that makes sense to Instructors ie the main teaching period first, followed by other teaching periods. However, currently course terms automatically order alphabetically by the description. Could we have the ability to configure the order in which we would like our course terms to display? Thanks.

Automatic hold request when adding physical item
We need requests to be placed on items that have been added to a reading list in Leganto. Otherwise students see that the item is available in the stacks and may go pick it up before our staff can OR be confused at the location since course reserves are always behind our front desk.
There's also no alert in Alma stating that the item has been added to a reading list and to double check.
In our current workflow, we do not employ the manually-set "move request" on items we pull from the stacks because it's extra clicks. This should…

Set Task List "Unassigned - List with new Note to zero
We are starting to manage our 'Unassigned - List with new note' task which had not previously been dealt with in our workflow. The notes all say "Comment: List was published List status: Ready For Processing" even though the lists are completed. The list is quite large even though the lists have been completed.
Apparently there is no way to automatically clear this task and set it to zero. The Ex Libris support team agree that this would be a useful enhancement and suggest this enhancement suggestion.
I guess there may be other tasks that could be managed in this…

Option to exclude facets when searching the library
When adding a reference from the library search, you can filter based on "Type" and "Available here" facets in Leganto. This is great, but it would also be helpful if you could exclude facets as well, like you can in Primo. For instance, if you don't want Open Access records you should be able to exclude them. The "Type" facets are usually mutually exclusive (so isn't as relevant to exclude), but this is not true for the "Available here" facets. References can for instance be both "Open access" and "Peer reviewed" at the same time.
Our specific use case is…

Zotero/Mendeley import: display position in list
In the results list of “Search the library”, the current position in the list is indicated, e.g. “Showing 20 out of 311,444 results”. In the results list of “Import references from Mendeley” and “Import references from Zotero, however, this information is not displayed. We would appreciate if the position would be indicated in these lists, too. Relevant Support Case: 07013368

Embed outside tools in Leganto
Support embedding iframes in some areas of the Leganto UI so that additional relevant functionality from outside tools can be surfaced to end users.

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.

Last Leganto activity date on the user profile
That the user profile contains a last leganto activity date along side the last patron activity date. It is not given that users of leganto use the library in a way that would generate a patron activity.
With leganto the user profile has become important to elements not necessarily connected to library activities but the overall student activities. And especially in purging of users it is important to be able to see if leganto activity is present.4 votes -
Ability to customize which fields display to the public in Leganto forms
We would like to be able to customize which fields display to the public in the various forms in Leganto (similar to the configuration options for the various request forms in the GetIt Configuration in Alma for Primo).
For example, we do not require instructors to indicate start and end dates when configuring lists or submitting digitization and/or copyright clearance requests, so it would be ideal if we could hide those fields from instructors so they don't input anything (and also ensure that the system leaves those fields blank rather than automatically inputting a value).

Allow advanced search of Citations and editing of individual citations within a set of citations
I frequently look for citations meeting certain criteria - simple like recently added Books on active lists, on published lists, where the book is essential. To do that I have to go select all citations, sort it by last created, choose the filters, active, published. I then look at a couple to e.g. see if there is a newer edition. If I want to continue with the same project, I have to recreate all the steps.
It is impossible to create a query with two filters from the same group, e.g. Material type books or Book chapters or Citation tags…

Link to course
When attempting to link a reading list to a course in Leganto, the dropdown menu does not display the instructor names - only Instructor's Alma ID numbers. This creates a challenge, especially for courses with multiple instructors, as it's difficult to identify the correct course without visible names.
As a result, we often need to switch back to Alma to look up the instructor’s ID number in order to select the appropriate course. This adds unnecessary steps and reduces efficiency.
It would greatly improve usability if instructor names were displayed alongside instead of ID numbers in the dropdown menu. Thank…

Allow institutions to configure the maximum number of citations on a list after which sections will be collapsed by default
It would be useful if we could configure the number of citations on a reading list over which the sections will be collapsed by default. The system setting is that any list over 100 items will be collapsed as default view, and we have the setsectionview parameter set to 'Yes' to allow default view to be manually overridden on a list by list basis, but we'd like there to be something in between that kicks in automatically, so shorter lists will still be expanded (which saves staff/students having to make extra clicks to view the full list) but…
