1. Full title of search result on mouseover (titles are truncated on smaller screens)

   Problem: Summon users who have smaller display screens (such as laptops) are not seeing the full title for search results – instead search results are being truncated with the remainder of the title not visible for the user.
   For academic journal articles that often have long titles, this means that users are not able to properly identify a search result’s relevance.
   Currently, the only way these users can find out the full title is by clicking through each result and going directly to the source. This is undesirable for users as is time consuming and clunky.

   Proposed solution: We propose that when mousing over the search result’s title, hover text appears to show the title in full and with no truncation.
   This would allow Summon users to identify the full title of a result, and its relevance, without needing to navigate to the source.

2. Don't force title case in Summon UI for Search Scope Names

   Allow the Summon UI to display Search Scope Names as they have been entered by the library instead of forcing them to display in title case.

   For example, if the Scope Name is Books and Journals, display "Books and Journals" in the UI, and if it's Circulating Collection (items you can check out), display "Circulating Collection (items you can check out)" in the UI.

   Right now, these Scope Names are forced to be displayed as "Books And Journals" and "Circulating Collection (Items You Can Check Out)" for the end user.

   As Summon over Alma customer, we request Summon Preview Environment is link to Alma Sandbox.
   For example, the link "My Library Account" is linked to "https://.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/account?vid=*****_INST:Services&section=overview&lang=e now.
   However, the link should be going to Sandbox.

5. Availability in Location Items section

   For a journal, each value in the calculated availability is calculated independently, based on the lowest and highest value of the items, even if they do not come from the same items.
   I.E: if we have the following items:
   2022,1 to 2022,4 and 2023,1

   in Summon the availability is displayed with:
   from:1 2022 until:4 2023

   instead of
   from:1 2022 until:1 2023

   We would like change the summary calculation in availability.

7. Configuring a ‘Collection Discovery’ search in Summon

   Unlike Primo customers, Summon users cannot navigate to the Collections Lobby to find items available as part of Alma Collections unless they click into the details page of a record and scroll down to the bottom where they are presented with the ‘see more from *** collection’. A simple search in Summon is searching within everything we have in Alma (and published to Summon) - so individual titles are appearing in the results. But the collection names are not searchable. Summon is not able to provide a similar "Collection Discovery" search to Primo. Summon' s design is not based on collection/database level. So, the infrastructure is not allowing to provide a similar search feature like Primo. However, for Summon over Alma customers who use Alma Collections, this feature is essentially lost.
   As is the case with Primo, we would like ‘Collection Discovery’ to be available as a search in the Main Menu Bar of Summon in order for our users to navigate to the Collections Lobby.

9. removing the red “-1” Content Type exclusion indicator

   suggest removing the red “-1” Content Type exclusion indicator. We feel it comes across to users like a warning or error – an alert that is negative in nature. The navy “Selected” box at the top of the facet pane is a much friendlier and more useful indicator, and the exclusions are well marked in the Content type list itself, so the red “-1” indicator feels redundant and potentially misleading. If removing it isn't possible or palatable, please allow it to be disabled in the Summon admin module.

10. date limiter buttons - keep the end date open rather than automatically entering a value of today's date

    issue with the "quick pick" date limiter options (1 year, 3 years, etc.) - a "hard" end date is set (today's date) which is invisible to the user unless they click the pencil icon, meaning any results with future publication dates will be excluded from the search results. It's really common for journal articles to show a publication date in the future, and the way the date shortcut buttons are configured, any such articles will not be include in the results. We believe this is counter to what users expect when they use date limiters, and in particular the "shortcut" date limiter options in Summon; conceptually, users rely on these limiters to find all resources published more recently than the time period referenced in the button (e.g. 5 years), rather than all resources published within a specific, end-capped date range. For example, students are often following assignment parameters requiring them to review current literature not more than xx years old; faculty researchers are looking for the most current literature in their fields. Using the date limiter buttons currently excludes upcoming/scheduled publications (for example, 703 peer reviewed articles on covid) unless you manually change the date to a far future date. For these date limiter buttons, we would suggest automatically calculating the start date based on today's date minus x years, but keeping the end date open rather than automatically entering a value of today's date. We think that will be more in line with what users actually expect from those limiters. And we don't think it's realistic to expect users to click the pencil icon, note the end date, perceive the problems with future-dated publications being excluded, and change the end date to something in the future.

11. Index eBook content directly from publishers?

    Index eBook content directly from publishers. There seems to be more and more eBook titles from many of our collections that are not available in the Summon Index. Is there a way to get this metadata from other sources like directly from the publishers so that the ebooks will show in Summon without having to dump the records in from the catalog to get it in there?

14. Display multiple editions of a title in order, most recent first.

    Multiple editions of a title often display in the Summon search results in a seemingly random order. Different editions of the same title should display in a logical order with the most recent edition first. We have reported countless instances of this behaviour over the years and are told that it is unfixable due to the quality of metadata.

    Summon should link different editions of a title together so it can display them in a logical order. As Summon will not always be able to do this accurately, give customers a way to edit and improve the data so we can fix edition order display problems when we notice them.

15. The ability to edit eBook title and publication year metadata in Summon

    Is it possible to give librarians the ability to edit certain eBook metadata (title, publication year) ourselves in order to improve match and merge functionality. We have so many duplicate records because the metadata from the Summon index is poor, titles and/or publication year are wrong, leading it to not merge with our catalog record. Is it possible to give the control to the Librarians to edit that metadata to allow for less duplicate records without having to put in Support tickets all the time with long lists of duplicate records to fix?

16. Ability to self-sort library locations in mapping in Admin Console

    After making changes in Mapping>Library Locations in the Summon Admin console, it would be helpful to have the ability to sort the library locations table by both the Location Code or the Location Name. I make changes here based on a sorted list I receive from our cataloging department. Having the screen I initially see be sorted in alphabetical order (the same way I receive my list from cataloging) lets me eyeball how much work, if any, is needed. If I could see a sorted list, I could more easily see if we have a location code or a location name already. Currently I have to search using the browser’s searching capability to locate a code or a name. I do know that I can download the table as an Excel file to work with. Also by design, all new codes stay at the bottom. So sorting these to collocate them, makes it easier to see them in context. The only way to get these to be sorted now is to submit a case. Self-service sorting would save me and ExLibris staff both work and time.

    Sometimes the titles provided by publishers are messy looking (random capitalizations and punctuation) or the editions are inconsistent (sometimes a number, sometimes spelled out). It would be great to be able to either edit the title or have the ability to add our own custom titles.

20. Filtering titles with status "under review" in client center e-catalog search

    On "e-Catalog" search box in ClientCenter, admin cannot filter titles with "Status Is".

    It will be helpful if we could sort titles on "e-Catalog" search box with the status "Under Review".

    Because some admin would like to register a title as "Under review" title at first and then change it to "Subscribed" at a later time.
