"Time Period" facet / filter > needs Reverse Alpha Sort
The "Time Period" facet / filer has sorts by numeric occurrence and by alphabetical sort; however, since many of the terms in the subfield are dates, the ability to find current dates requires you to scroll through way too many entries, since it begins with 1 AD. Request to provide a Reverse Alpha Sort (most recent - call it what you may) - so that users can on demand begin with the current era and work backwards.

custom panel collapse by default
Allow for the custom panel to be collapsed by default. Instruction Librarians feel that displaying custom panel's create too much distraction on screen.

https://lccn.loc.gov/n2007182995

resizeable Logo in Saved Search Email
It would be great if the email sent when a user clicks on the Saved Search option used a size appropriate logo.
At present it looks like it uses the largest logo imaginable and makes the whole thing look like it was made in GCSE computing class. Its not very professional looking.
At least a Saved Searches email logo option in the Summon admin would be a start.1 vote -

Search by URL in the client center
It would be great to be able to search a journal's URL in the client center. Sometimes I need to find out which collection uses a certain URL for a journal and doing a title search + checking each title individually is cumbersome.

Next Expected Update date for collections
Similar to the "Last Full Update" and "Last Partial Update" dates in the 360 KB database entries, it could cut down on the volume of cases about new individual titles if the collections that get updated on a regular schedule also had "Next Expected Update" date to display.

Start Collecting E Media reports (IR_M1) in Intota
The COUNTER IRM1 report is necessary for ACRL IPEDS survey's e-media usage reporting. As many academic libraries must comply with this reporting, It would be greatly appreciated if you could begin collecting IRM1 reports.

Suggestion for DC:Type Yearbook to categorize digitized yearbooks.

Add case studies as content type
It would be great if "case studies" to be added as a content type, the same way it's an option on CINAHL and some other Ebsco products. Our nursing and allied health students often have assignments that specifically require them to use case studies, and it's difficult to narrow those down using Summon.

Make it possible to construct a search box for all online material plus physical material from one location only
At present it is possible to construct a search box which excludes all physical material from one or more library locations. Unfortunately it also excludes physical material found at both those library locations and others, when these share a bibliographical record in the LMS. Make a truly location-specific search box possible.

Fix EZproxy rewriting on altmetric links
Citation count links to Web of Science and Scopus are rewritten under an EZproxy session but links to altmetric are not.

Database recommendations based on content type facet
Currently the database recommender is powered by tags (and an algorithm based on the result set?). We would like for the content type facet to also power database recommendations. For example, if the music facet is selected, Naxos is recommended. If the standards facet is selected, Standards Australia is recommended. The new database facet assists with this to a degree, but it is not foolproof.

Increase limit on collected search strings in OBI usage statistics
OBI usage statistics keep track of the 200 - 500 search strings per month performed by users. These are available in the Summon Popular Searches report available in OBI.
It would be useful to have access to a more complete list of search strings each month though, in order to perform analysis such as subjects of interest to users or search trends over time.
This enhancement request proposes to increase the amount of search strings recorded. A preferred options would be to allow institutions to set how many search strings would be recorded per month (ie. ranging from none to…
