Better Branding Options
Current option to add a logo is a recommended 312x53 size for the large logo. This seems like an odd size, but it also limits a library's ability to brand their Summon instances. It would be nice to offer a more flexible option so we can better brand our Summon instance so its clear to the user what they are searching and make our admin happy because we can use our official library/campus logo.

After updating library locations under Mapping in the admin module, you must submit for approval and indexing can take several weeks. You must keep checking back to see if the changes are "live" in the status field. Could the admin simply receive an email when they changes are live?

Add "Game" to Content Types in Summon
Games have become an important way to teach concepts to GenX, Millennials and GenZ. Both at college level and for use in teacher training, games are a growing component of our collections. Users want to search for games in our collection. This content type would be very useful. In MARC this would translate into 008 character position 33 = g when Leader type is any of the following: o, r, g or k

Add the ability to hide a title from E-journal portal public view in the Client Center
When "we subscribe to only some of the titles in this database" is selected then titles have to be manually updated. We would like to be able to not check that box so that the collection is updated and maintained automatically, but we want to be able to hide individual titles from public view.

Changes to the default content type mapping to accommodate music
The current default MARC field mapping for web resources and computer files includes an option for MARC field 008(026). For most content types, this field position indicates that the resource has online content or is accessed electronically.
HOWEVER
Music scores and sound recordings have a different set of values for the 008 field. Their data elements for the 008(26) position indicate that the resource has accompanying matter, such as historical information, biographical content, or a discography.By having the 008(26) as a default MARC mapping for all types, many music resources will get incorrectly identified as web resources or computer…

Search Scope based on a selection of databases, library catalog + open access in CDI
Search Scopes are based on the fields available in the Advanced Search (Search Options) and are useful to our current students, faculty and staff. I'd be really excited to create a scope in Summon for our alumni. Alumni have access to content from a selection of our databases, so being able to present them with a search scope that, for example, includes e-books, journals and articles only from that subset of databases (plus open access things and the print materials in the catalog) would save them the aggravation of, say, clicking on a ProQuest Ebook Central title, and being denied…

Improve Summon / 360 Link integration where 1-click is enabled and there are multiple holdings
Where the '1-Click' setting is selected in 360 Link, it is only possible for 360 Link to link to one full text target (holding), even when multiple targets are available. It is desirable to enable 1-Click to minimize unnecessary click-throughs for users. It is advantageous to have all activated holdings presented in case any are inaccessible.
We would like to support an enhancement that would allow 1-click linking in 360 Link when there is only one holding, but automatically disable 1-click (show full results page) in cases where there is more than one holding.

Enable Current Content Mapping to be Downloaded for SoA
As a Summon over Alma customer, we are unable to download our current mapping. When we submit a ticket to get the information, it may take over a month to get the information. Making this available to download from the Summon Admin tool would streamline things for customers and support.
Example Case: 07955367

Database recommendations on Summon over Alma. Add the ability to customize the database descriptions
In Summon you can customize Name, URL and description of each database recommendation via the Client Center.
Summon over Alma customers have an uncomplete feature: they can customize Name and URL of each database recommendation (changing name and level url in the corresponding collection in Alma),
but they cannot change a default database description or add a description when it is not there.When a customer has Summon over Alma, the Client Center is not anymore connected to Summon, but it looks like that it is still expecting eventual customized descriptions from there, from the Database Details page.
