Reading List Folders broken down from Subject faculty then into course then into year
Briefly, we would like a way to organize reading lists on the Leganto list view beyond being able to search them, for example folders that can contain reading lists.
Our Business School and Faculty of Medicine staff have told us they have too many courses to manage easily on list view, so have suggested this feature to help organise their lists better. They suggest that seeing only their current year courses on the Leganto home page list view, and their previous years lists in folders.
User story: as a medicine course convener responsible for multiple reading lists, I would like…

Better options/formatting when exporting a list to PDF
Exporting to PDF is a useful function but not very useable as it is:
A list of 11 citations will turn into a 5 page-pdf, with 2 citation per page most of the time (probably due to too much space in between citations).
This is clearly not good if one exported the list in order to print it, so this should be reviewed and adjusted.We also hope it will eventually be possible to choose a reference style when exporting to PDF (as with Word), once issues in that regard are fixed and the exported lists are judged satisfactory according…

Recent Changes at citation level
The Recent Changes tab is only visible at list level in Alma. It would be useful if this tab was also made available at citation level.

Assign list owners/collaborators in bulk
The Feb 2018 release enabled us to remove all list owners/collaborators as manual bulk job. Could the same functionality be provided for adding new users?

Add citation ID to enrichment job results summary (Preview records / Events Report screen)
After running the process and enrich citations job you can view the 'Job Report' containing a summary of resource locate results (Resource locate match found, multiple match found, etc.)
For each of these result types you can click 'Preview records' to open an Events Report screen, however this is not useful as it does not include the citation ID (the columns provided are course code, section, reading list code and title).
Could the citation ID be added to this screen.

Allow items added by Cite It to also be added to My Collection
Our instructors and students have suggested this enhancement. Currently they can only add items to a list or My Collection with Cite It, there's no option to add to both.

Export permalinks as part of list/section export
When exporting a list or a list section to Word, it would be very useful if the permalinks were also exported, as part of the citation. It is good practice and we would encourage our instructors to use full references if they want to add links to individual readings in topic areas of the VLE courses (or in email communications or on Powerpoint slides). In order to encourage instructors to comply, we would like to make this process as quick and simple as possible. Our suggestion to them is to export the section of the list to Word and to…

Make the 'Mark as read' symbol more prominent
We feel that students are not making best use of this feature, perhaps because it's not immediately clear that the small 'tick' icon carries this function. Could this be displayed more clearly, for example by displaying the 'Mark as read' text without having to hover over the icon.

Provide an ability to configure the sort order of the links display in Leganto
Currently the links are displayed according to what the Alma u-resolver returns back, and the results (links) are dependent on the collection activation in Alma. We need the option to sort links (Ascending/Descending) in Leganto view, regardless of the Alma / Primo sort.

Cite It support for ECCO
ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online) is not supported by Cite It. This is a Gale Cengage product, and a widely used resource, so we would expect it to be supported.

Leganto labels to support HTML tags
Currently only the text of labels in Leganto can be customised and HTML tags are not supported. This limits the usefulness for customisation, particularly for including hyperlinks in the labels.
For example, we have just updated the list.notavailable and list.primo.notavailable labels to include a link to a form which students can fill in to request that a list be created for their course, however we have had to add text advising the student to copy and paste the link as we are not able to add a hyperlink using HTML. The usability is therefore not as efficient for students.

Additional citation type for Clinical Guidelines
Could this be added as a new citation type option? It would be useful for academic staff in health-related disciplines who utilise guidelines published by organisations such as NICE (https://www.nice.org.uk/).

Chapter number and author to display more prominently
We would like the citation chapter number and author to be displayed alongside the chapter title (slightly larger, bold font).
Currently these fields display on the second line alongside the book title and publisher information, which lacks clarity (see attachment).
