How can we improve Esploro?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Make collections searchable

    Collections is a feature where the institution can display selected assets together. The assets are displayed as a list you can scroll through. To make the collections more user friendly it would be nice to make a search function for collection/to make assets searchable in the collection searchable. If there are many assets in a collection it would be optimal for the user to be able to search for a specific asset or keyword in the collection.

  2. Request access to restricted files via the Research Portal

    In 2020, an enhancement was released that allows repository staff to generate a temporary access link to restricted files. The 2022 roadmap included a second phase of this enhancement that promised a dedicated interface allowing users to request access to restricted files from the Research Portal. See screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/TBWet5cr. However, this enhancement was never delivered.

    We request this enhancement be added back to the roadmap.

  3. Provide enhanced ability to customize Student Deposit Profile

    The current student deposit form (Configuration > Repository > Manage Student Deposit Profiles) has limited options for customization. We would like to see the following changes made in order to enable use of the form and make student deposits more streamlined. This would remove our need to upload assets ourselves. Here are a few suggestions:

    1) Add an "Instructions" field for every entry field to appear below the field name in smaller text.
    2) Co-authors - remove this field or make it optional. If this is not possible, could instructions be added to make it clear that it is optional.…

  4. Export of search results from Portal

    Whereas in Primo, it is possible to export the results of a search (or at least, up to 50) by selecting them and then Exporting them, there does not seem to be the same option in the Researchers portal. We would like to be able to export search results from Esploro. Ideally, this export would not be restricted to 50.
