The CSS/JS load Idea was closed - https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/929326-esploro/suggestions/42304072-esploro-portal-and-home-page?tracking_code=c69bab7468ff8e896a94196d9e242aba
and proposed to open the new Idea
If there is specific functionality or customization option that we think we should add to Esploro, We have to open a dedicated idea for this idea and Ex Libris will be happy to evaluate it.

Please Vote:
We would like to receive the options in Esploro’s configuration pages to edit:

Home page and Portal:
Width of the page
Tabs
Headers
Font colors
Background colors

On the Portal
Logo size
Header height, background-color
Font colors - part of them is not readable - following Accessibility rules.
(Like email addresses > yellow on grey).
Persons' information location.
Width of the main page.
Accessibility menu - would like to be added or we can provide our accessibility menu, you can implement it into the Esploro home page and Portal page (it is not something we are going to change every day).

There is currently only one letter that can be used for ETDs with limited options for customization.

To best serve our student community, it is important to have an ETD deposit notification letter that is generated when an ETD is ingested in Esploro. This communication allows us to not only confirm their deposit has been review and ingested, but to provide the student with the open access permanent URL (handle) that they can use when citing their work. In many cases, this information is required by employers or for other verification purposes.

This information is vital to our student depositors, and we would like to see more functionality and inclusion for student works in the Esploro letters.

1.0 Proposal to tag or highlight selected outputs

We would like to explore the possibility of “tagging” (or similar demarcation) selected outputs in Esploro to differentiate / highlight them.

This tagging will be additional to the current search / refine options (such as Research Unit or Subject).
All forms of outputs (articles, data sets etc) should be eligible for tagging.

For example, we may want to “tag” Covid-19 research papers and data, or other key research on particular themes or goals.

Ideally, there should also be an option of sub-tagging eg. a main tag, and a sub-tag (ie. the option of a tag hierarchy)
(For example. Tag: Research Themes – identifies that the paper belongs to one of our core research themes
Sub-Tag: Digital Economy – identifies which research theme the paper belongs to)

2.0 How tagged items should function
Initially, we would like to explore how these tagged items should be visible / share-able in three ways:

2.1 The tagged items should be added as an option to the Refine Results

2.2 We would like the option to add a button (s) to the front page of the repository to enable users to navigate directly to the tagged outputs (eg a “Covid-19” button).

2.3 These options should enable us to create a URL direct to these tagged options to enable users to go directly to these tagged outputs from other webpages.

3.0 How will the outputs be tagged?
We would like to explore two routes to tagging selected outputs:

3.1 By periodic, retrospective mass-tagging
As we have the DOIs of the outputs to be tagged, could we (the Library) conduct a retrospective, periodic “mass-tagging” / upload / similar (say, every 3 months) in which the outputs to be tagged are tagged in-bulk (by matching DOIs).

3.2 When outputs are entered onto Esploro
There should also be an option to tag an output at the point of upload / record creation in Esploro

Currently you cannot reorder the education history in a researcher record or via the profile. When you add education (without date information) through the profile or researcher record, it automatically creates a new row at the bottom of the list. Thus, if you are adding education information that was missed, this could result in the list not being sorted chronologically. Adding dates in does allow the sort to work properly, but only if you have dates for all education entries. If you only have partial dates, it will sort the numbered entries correctly, and the unnumbered ones will be sorted at the top of the list.

This is incredibly cumbersome and time consuming to resolve since there is no functionality to drag entries to the correct location. When incorrectly sorted entries are found, these have to be manually deleted and re-entered in the correct order.

Presumably/hopefully Researchers will be able to clean this up themselves, but it seems like basic functionality that exists for other fields and would be simple enough to implement for this one. It also aids in our ability to reduce the amount of cleanup researchers are required to do.
