Option to associate multiple courses for instructor rollover
Currently, instructors can only associate more than one course to a list after the list has been initially rolled over. To improve this, please add an option to associate multiple courses before the list is rolled over. This is available in the course loader integration for rollovers, so it should be available for instructor rollovers as well. For example, when the ‘Create a new list’ screen appears in Leganto after the instructor chooses the rollover list option, there should be an option to add more than one course: https://app.screencast.com/ESITnAmHSZ5eL This feature should be configurable to accommodate institutions that may not…

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).

Bulk Update for reading list sections
It would be useful if we could run a bulk update job on certain sections - for example if we need to re-name them, add a description, or remove them.
A use case for this is that we have sections on many reading lists naming a certain supplier of eTextbooks, and we would like to change this to just 'Digital Textbook' and be vendor-neutral. This will have to be done manually for 630 lists and it would be much better to do it in one job.
Similarly, now we cannot add section descriptions to templates in the new UI, this…

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?

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 -
Add style classes to citations imported to LMS editor
When citations are imported to an LMS text editor using the LTI 1.3 integration, these are added as HTML code with basic formatting.
Could the HTML elements which make up these citations have regular class attributes attached to them?
If so, we could use CSS included in our LMS to consistently style these citations to match the rest of our learning content.

New general setting for enabling/disabling multiple lists per course
There's a general Leganto setting for multicourse_lists "Whether to enable multiple courses for reading lists: enabled, disabled."
We would like to add the converse option: enable/disable multi-list courses. By disabling multi-lists per course, only one list could be made for each course via the Leganto interface.
The reason we would like this is to allow instructors to create new lists via Leganto (rather than only by LTI) but not allow them to associate multiple lists per course as this has a negative impact on the embedded LTI view and the way that courses/lists display in the Primo VE full record…

Option to run Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode
Would be useful to have the option to run the Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode. This would enable to us to see what citation to record matches were going to be made in advance, and edit the job if it looked like there were going to be errors in the matching / citations we didn't want included.
This would be similar to the draft mode options when running the 'Rollover Ledgers' and 'Rollover PO Lines' jobs.53 votes -
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.

More customisation for 'send for review' process - automatically sent for review, list not published
I am currently looking at configuring reading list citation statuses/the reading list review process to best fit our workflows for a small team with a large volume of lists. We find that academic staff rarely submit their lists for review so we have a lot of citations sitting in 'being prepared' and lists with completed citations still showing as 'being prepared' when they shouldn't be. Library staff begin work on these 'being prepared' citations as though they are 'ready for processing' regardless of whether the list has been submitted for review by academic staff due to the volume of citations…

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…

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'…

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.

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…

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.

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…75 votes -
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.

'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.

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.
