Display Waiting for Approval Copyright Status in Citations
When viewing a citation in Leganto that is awaiting copyright approval, the status is not visible in the list or brief view. Users must open the full details and navigate to the item actions tab to see this information. Additionally, if a citation is incomplete, it shows as ‘Library is processing,’ which only reflects the citation status, not the copyright status.
Please add a visible indicator in the list and brief view of citations to show the ‘Copyright is waiting for approval’ status. The status should also be available as a filter in the list.

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'.

Refine "Held by Library" Filter in Leganto
Our institution is part of a large library network with over 50 other Institutional Zones. Currently, the "Held by Library" filter in Leganto shows physical items from all libraries in the network, not just our holdings. However, in the context of Leganto, only items held by our institution are relevant for the instructors, particularly, because we cannot add items from other institutions to course reserves.
We request an enhancement to either:
1. Modify the "Held by Library" filter to only show items from the local IZ.
2. Introduce a separate filter to limit results to items from the local IZ.…19 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.

"Demand in other lists" should be visible in Leganto
"Demand in other lists" is a useful tool for librarians in Alma.
Some librarians work a lot in Leganto. It would make sense that users with librarian roles can see directly in Leganto which books are demanded in other lists, and which ones.13 votes -
Toggle between instructor and library view
With the introduction of the library view, library staff also need quick and easy access to the instructor view:
- to demonstrate/train instructors
- to produce training materials for instructors
- to test new configuration changes
We really like the easy toggle transition between student/staff views and would like to see something similar between library/instructor views.

Improve instructor question handling when personal copy option is selected
We'd like to be able to use the instructor question feature to ask information from faculty if we do not currently have the item in our repository. We've noticed, though, that if the instructor checks the option to provide the library a personal copy, that they would still get the question displayed. Ideally, we'd be able to show a question if both A) we didn't own the item and B) the instructor was not going to provide us a copy.
We could see this potentially being handled through an additional / tweaked value in "Availability" as done through Configuration >…

Recommended lists
in the old interface, in the list search, there are recommended lists. I think it would be interesting if this feature were also available in the new interface.
In addition, I think it would be interesting for librarians to be able to select reading lists and recommend them to students.1 vote -
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.

Allow HTML in the new UI label 'copyright_clearance_header' (digitisation request form)
The digitisation request form (CLA) has a description field underneath the main header, called 'copyright _ clearance _ header' in the new UI labels. It would be helpful if HTML could be entered in this field to direct users to more information about digitisation services.

I suggest that Leganto get in touch with the publisher Emerald to set up Cite-It for their papers.

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.

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.

Public annotations toggle - change default to 'off'
When allowcitationpublic_annotation = true the toggle 'Public Annotations on/off' is displayed (good).
Unfortunately it's also set to 'on' by default which makes plublic annotations by students possible without the list creator intending this (not good).Features like this should be opt-in, not activated by default.
We are asking for the default setting to be changed to 'off'.6 votes -
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.

Mass update on citations
For example, if you have a new edition, you have to go in to each citation individually and update it. It would be much easier if we could select the citations we needed and be able to do an update of them all of them at once.

Re-associating courses to reading lists with digitisations
When there is digitisation on a list you cannot easily reassociate it to another string code if needed, the workaround is quite time-consuming involving editing the course in Alma and then doing the usual editing in the DCS.

Quick Analytics for Instructors
ls there any way that the course start date field in the quick view analytics (clicking the bar chart logo from the reading list itself) can be changed. It currently shows them usage since the list began, but there is no way for them to see usage in the past academic year only. they need something quick. Something they can share with students... "look there are 50 of you on this course and only 12 of you have looked at this article for today's lesson!"?
Thanks!
