Report version of Data Summary Dashboard
We love the Data Summary Dashboard in 360 Services. We use it for IPEDs. The only way to access it is by going into the Client Center manually. So we have to remember to go to this screen precisely on July 1st each year.
It would be great if we could have this summary information automatically reported out monthly to specified email addresses.
(For Data on Demand you can only print out title lists. You have to count them manually.)

Summon Database Recommender Management
I would like to be able to sort and filter the list of databases in Summon Admin aka Summon Editor because the list of databases is very long (29 pages). I would like to be able to filter the list to those that are either active or inactive so that I can more easily prioritize databases and review settings for those that need editing. I also need to be able to review recent edits so to confirm that updates took effect correctly.

Display of "Public All Titles Note"
For the Publication Finder displayed in Summon Custom Panels, I would like to see the contents of the “Public All Titles Note” set in the Data Management page of the 360 Core Client Center.

Revise display logic so that collection names do not display as corporate authors
Based on the MARC 21 standards, collection names are in the 710 field. For example:
710 2 Alumni Ph.D./Th.D. Collection (Princeton Theological Seminary)
As in https://catalog.ptsem.edu/record=b3319515~S1
This is a typical way that most libraries handle their collection names. However, the current Summon mapping and display rules result in the collection name appearing as the author in the search results when there is not a main author for the work: https://go.exlibris.link/DZxpskWX

Retain special characters in 245 subfields
It would be nice if Summon was able to selectively retain special characters in the title mapping field, for example 245$p. It currently strips special characters such as brackets [] from these fields. We use brackets in our $p field for certain reasons and it would be nice if Summon would leave them in when displaying the Title fields.

Summon UI Language to Be Transferred to Catalog UI
Could you please make it available to configure language condition to the link from Summon to Catalog?
This request is from a Japanese university.
For example, it is preferable that a record on Summon (UI: English) leads to Catalog page of English version. Currently it is led to the default Japanese Catalog page even though Summon UI language is English.27 votes -
Chat Widget Obstructs Functionality on Small Screens
Hi,
I have noticed that the Springshare V2 LibChat widget covers the "New Search" and sorting options on small screens (see attached image). It would be helpful if the widget moved to a location where it does not cover any functionalities, such as horizontally in the top right corner.
While I know that the widget's position can be adjusted to sit next to other menu icons, we prefer the right positioning on large screens. It would be a significant improvement if this issue could be addressed.
Kind regards,

Make automatic completion of bibliographic information selectable.
As for ClientCenter, I would like the administrator to be able to select whether or not to apply the function of automatic completion of bibliographic information to titles registered in Library Specific Holdings. This is because it is sometimes preferable to register bibliography exactly as admin entered.

Customisable Snippet size
We would like to be able to customise the Snippet size in the Administration Console.
Snippet size for search results has a fixed length, displaying a short text that makes it difficult to assess the relevance of a specific search result.
In order to expand the viewable section of the snippet/abstract, it would be useful to have a customizable length of characters for the snippet in the Administration Console.

Display Language Filter after search in default search language
Currently the Language Filter on the left hand side of the search results displays (some) languages in their original language and character encoding (see: 日本語, 한국어, ไทย...) while other languages in the facet/filter are displayed in English (English, Japanese, Korean...).
Allow the Language Filter to be metadata independent, displaying language results consistently in the default search language (English, German, etc.)5 votes -

Summon integration with SirsiDynix Enterprise
EBSCO EDS integrates with SIrsiDynix's Enterprise catalog tool, allowing discovery content to be surfaced and accessible via the catalog, alongside a user's account info, physical items on loan etc - all in one place. I'd like to see Summon similarly integrate with SD Enterprise.

Include a mapping field for indexed names and titles
Added entries in a MARC 7xx field should have their own Summon Field Name and be displayed in the preview and detail page. This is a basic need for music and sound recordings which often contain several titles by multiple people. Users will then be able to click on the indexed name or title in the display page and search for other resources containing it.

"Refine Your Search" improvement with OR search
It would be useful to be able to narrow down "Refine Your Search" items by multiplying high priority items by OR search. For example, it would be good to be able to narrow down the search to only those contents that fall under either "Library Catalog" OR "Full Text Online". Currently, when all items in "Refine Your Search" are checked, they are narrowed down by AND search.

CDI Display Document Attributes
The "CDI Display Document Attributes" functionality in Primo allows preprints to be labelled. There is an ongoing problem in Summon where aggregators and publishers use the same electronic collections but provide a different level of access. Especially with preprints - which look like broken links because aggregators dont provide them but they are included in results because publishers do.
This functionality could identify preprints so users would have a better idea of why they can't access them.
Can this functionality please be made available to Summon users?

Limit purchase request by material type
At present, purchase requests cannot be limited by material type, e.g. users can request that we purchase ebooks but not ejournals. I think this could be achieved with Display Logic.
