  1. Categorize "Related items" in new UI

    In the old interface, when adding a physical edition of a book, you can check "Other formats and editions" in the right-hand side panel.
    Existing editions are separated into "Electronic versions" and "Other editions".

    However, in the new UI, both electronic and physical editions are mixed and presented in one single list. If there are many editions of a book and the instructor is only looking to add an electronic version to a citation, then the many editions make it hard to quickly identify the few electronic versions.

    The list would be more readable if electronic and physical formats were…

  2. 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'…

  3. Automatic alphabetical sorting within each section

    Several instructors at one of our institutions mentioned that they wished reading lists looked a bit more like bibliographies.

    We are aware that changing the sorting is available in the list or section menu, but for instructors who are reluctant to use Leganto, this is already a step too much.

    We would like a parameter that would, when turned on on institution level, automatically sort the citations by authors within a section.

  4. View lists assigned to me in Leganto

    When viewing lists in Leganto, it would be beneficial for library staff to easily see all the lists assigned to them in Alma along with an indicator or filter for lists that are incomplete. Currently, library staff see lists where they are the owner/collaborator, lists they've added to 'My lists' or they can search 'All lists', yet there is no way to know which lists have been assigned to them in Alma (nor which lists require attention). For ease of processing, there should be an option in Leganto for library staff to set the default view of lists assigned to…

  5. New UI - please allow institutions to customise the 'Add item' menu.

    New UI - please allow institutions to customise the 'Add item' menu.
    We want to be able to hide 'Import References' from the 'Add item' menu. Support have advised that this is not currently possible.

  6. 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.

  7. New UI: Restore ability to search ALL archived lists for library staff

    Leganto, using the old UI, allows library staff to locate archived lists when searching by the course ID, this allows library staff to quickly assist faculty & staff in rolling over/copying their courses. In the NUI, users are only able to locate archived lists for which they are the owner. To be perfectly frank, the library postponed going live with the NUI this summer due to this lacking feature. Finding out this is expected behavior led to the creation of this idea exchange, as we are very concerned about losing access to the feature.

    Proposed resolutions:
    1) Allow library staff…

  8. Set location for physical reserves in request

    It would be helpful within Leganto for instructors to determine at either the course or the citation level which pickup location they want their course materials to reside. For libraries with central processing groups that manage multiple physical locations, we cannot always rely on faculty to put a note in the request.

  9. 'Associated with Reading List' column when viewing Course list in Alma

    At the moment when viewing list of courses on Alma, the only way to find out if a course has a Reading List is to use the 'Associated Lists - Exist/None' facet, or by clicking the menu button of the course and then select 'Reading List'.

    It would be much more useful if there was a column that says if the course has an associated Reading List or not. Or even better - have a column to display the number of Reading Lists associated with the course.

  10. NEW UI: Leganto cover thumbnail size in the new UI

    Sometimes, Instructors are in trouble when trying to identify the correct citation to manage. It would be helpful if the thumbnails of the books' cover for the instructor view would be bigger.

  11. Leganto discussion additional improvements (new UI)

    It would be helpful if we could have additional features in the Leganto discussion functionality:

    • Predefined messages for library staff to define and select when adding a discussion note (via Configuration > Leganto > Customer Labels).
    • The ability to attach a document.

    These would assist in communication with instructors.

  12. Hide start date and end date when creating a (new) section

    In the June 2024 release, we were given the possibility to hide the due date from the quick edit view of a citation. For the same reason, we need to hide the “start date” and “end date” fields when creating a (new) section.
    Once published, our citations must always be visible to all students. At our institution, Leganto Lists are mandatory for all our instructors because students should always have access to the lists, also to the ones that refer to previous academic years. If an instructor fills in the “start date” and “end date” fields, citations will no longer…

  13. Hide holdings in bulk

    Instructors have the option to hide physical or electronic holdings from students in a citation when the instructormanagecitationavailablelink parameter is set to true. However there is no way to do this in bulk and it makes it difficult where we have a number of reading lists with multiple citations where there's a physical and electronic holding and we want to hide one of these. It would be very helpful for this to be an option.

  16. Allow more color customization in branding in new UI

    Like many schools, we have a centralized brand guide and we are supposed to use those colors in design and interfaces whenever possible. The new UI color choices do not match the school branding and are far enough off that it will look odd to end users. A system where we could choose either preset colors or to customize by specifying hex color codes would be a much better fit for us.

  17. The ability to suppress the Leganto - Import list functionality.

    Dear colleagues
    University of New South Wales Library is requesting the ability to suppress the ability for an instructor to select the Create list > Import list option in both the classic and new UI environments at certain times of the year.

    UNSW has found that our instructors after using the Import functionality are reporting issues with citation linking. Requiring Library staff to assist by rolling over lists to provide a working link resolving these issues/frustrations.

    We note that other libraries have also discussed this functionality in the community communications. So, we encourage you to consider and support this option.

  18. Bulk job options to remove expired Alma user accounts from courses/reading lists

    We'd like to remove expired Alma accounts from being course instructor/list owner. I picture these as parameters in the Reading List Bulk Update and Course Bulk Update jobs.

    This is similar to an existing idea (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/46475206-improve-handling-of-expired-user-accounts-for-cour) but that one is specifically about flagging expired accounts during rollover, and we do not roll over courses and lists at Surrey.

  19. Filter to mirror Primo VE Availability facet

    When a user searches via Primo VE they have the option to filter using a facet title Availability, which contains values such as "Held By Library" and "Available Online"

    We would like to suggest Leganto receives similar functionality using the filter option which currently lets a user narrow down based on Section, Tag, Type and Other.

    This would allow uses to easily and quickly narrow the citations on a reading list to those available online, without the need for the library to tag each citation.

  20. Add parameter "no list expected" to make sets and global changes to courses via "Course bulk update" job

    A few monts ago, Alma added the option "no list expected" to the courses. This parameter can only be searched through Analytics, but we want to:
    -make it available in Alma to refine searches when making sets.
    -be an option to make global changes to courses in the "course bulk update" job

    Example: I want to make a set with all courses that belong to an academic department and the parameter "no list expected" is unchecked.
    Then, I want to make global changes to mark "no list expected" in all courses of this set.
