Automated process to improve metadata based on data from publisher
It would be great if the system could pick up on pieces of information in the publisher-provided metadata to automatically fill out related fields in the records for titles in the marketplace. For example:
If the listed pagination is less than 100 or 50, put the title in the less than 50 pages or 50-100 pages category so those titles get filtered out when that criteria is set.
If the author name matches the publisher name, mark it as self-published.
If the description starts with "This title was first published in [year]" or the Edition is a known reprint series…

Module information.
Please filter out duplicate citations, to allow us to easily see how many modules/students are associated with an owned book. When a lecturer uses the same book in multiple sections on a reading list then each instance is currently visible in Rialto. It would be more useful to know there are x number of modules and students associated with a book, rather than having to look through the list and eliminate all the duplicates.
Sometimes the same module appears 8-10 times for us as lecturers often refer to specific chapters from the same book in different sections of their reading…2 votesThank you for your suggestion.

automatically store platform information on the Rialto POL
We would like the ebook order's platform provider to be automatically be stored on the Rialto POL. Currently, the only option is to manually add this information to the POL.

Make library activity on the main list page to go directly to holdings.
It takes three clicks to see if we own it. Not duplicating titles in ebooks or physical is very important when ordering. It would save a lot of time

Fund code retention for order history needed
When a title awaiting approval in Market is rejected, the fund name is retained but the fund code is dropped. This is a problem because once it's rejected, the code information is gone and we have no other way to get that information back. Can you fix this so that the fund code is retained along with the fund name in the order history for the rejected titles (it can be retained for all if that program fix is easier, but we need it primarily for the rejected titles.

Faculty Request Functionality
When faculty use the request feature, their request are visible in Primo. Ideally, this will not be the case, so they won't see all their submitted and denied requests every time they log into their library account. Also, it would be ideal if these requests could be sent or assigned to a specific selector for review.

Push selections back to selectors with note
We want approvers to be able to push selections back to selectors with a note. This would speed communication regarding selections without having to use separate emails to address concerns.

Wiley Online Major Reference Works
Some Wiley Online Major Reference Works are updating and therefore have ongoing costs associated. I would appreciate if this information is shown in Rialto so when considering the purchase of the title, the purchaser is aware of it being an updating reference work or not.

Streamline Rialto related workflows for purchase request initiated order approvals, by Selector assignment redesign
When initiating a Rialto Market Order via a Purchase Request, there is an unexpected assignment of the order to the Selector after Sending for Approval.
This causes an additional unnecessary step navigating through a popup for our staff who are Approving the order, requiring them to change assignment from the Selector to the Approver, before they can Confirm approval.
This additional step only occurs when the starting point is a Purchase Request and does not happen when the starting point is the Market.The expected workflow for the Selector:
Acquisitions > Purchase Requests > Manage Purchase Requests > Unassigned >…1 voteThank you for your suggestion.

Improve integration between 'Place on hold' in Rialto and Tasks widget in Alma
If the 'Place on hold' option is ticked when placing an order in Rialto, there is no notification in the Tasks widget in Alma to let Library staff know when an item has arrived. This means we are unable to prioritise the processing of those items. If we were to use 'Place on hold' in Rialto, then we wouldn't find out an item had been requested until we happened to scan it in.
Could integration between Rialto and the requests functionality be improved please to make it apparent to Alma users when items received have been requested?

New editions of textbooks
Using combined information from Rialto and Leganto, flag new editions of textbooks in use in courses. Can currently only set up a title alert for all new editions from your library's catalogue but can't trigger it to only look at new editions of in-use textbooks.

Allow libraries to toggle the 'Approve and order' option in the 'Manage Purchase Requests' workflow
We’ve recently discovered that our librarians, despite only having the selector role in Rialto, and thus not being able to directly place orders, are still creating POLs in Alma by selecting the ‘Approve and order’ option in the ‘Manage Purchase Requests’ workflow.
In our case, a few dozen POLs were created that had no vendor, fund code, shelving location, no platform or access model for eBooks, and no format or edition for print titles. Getting all of this after the fact from the librarians then editing the POLs is quite cumbersome and undoes a lot of the efficiency Rialto otherwise…

Add a date picker field for the Rialto purchase request form
The Rialto form is limited by only being able to add a new text field. It would be useful to be able to select different types of input field, but primarily we would like a date picker for users to select the date they require the material by.

Need easier way to navigate between lists and Alma searching
One cannot call up a list of new titles for review in Rialto and then search Alma for local usage of the same authors and subjects without losing one’s place on the original title alerts list. Resulting in multiple clicks to get back to one’s place on the list. In this common collection development scenario, the inability to perform Alma searches while reviewing an alerts list is an unexpected hindrance.

Allow Alma library relationships to control purchasing via Rialto
We want our staff to have Rialto roles that are scoped only to our National library, and don't want to have to give them Rialto roles that have any other scope. We want them to be able to order electronic books for the National Library, as well as physical books for the other libraries in the institution, but we only want them to be able to do all this while logged into our Acquisitions Department (which is granted to them via the Work Order Operator role having the Acquisitions Department associated).
We have Library relationships set up in Alma Configuration…

Improve the ability to run concurrent fiscal years in Rialto
We generally run concurrent fiscal years in Alma for a short time while completing orders and invoices in one year and begin renewing resources and paying invoices in the next fiscal. When placing a manual POL in Alma a dropdown appears to choose a fund for either fiscal year. But in Rialto the POL defaults to the new fiscal year even if a cart template for the old fiscal year is used. Please align Rialto ordering with Alma and give the choice of using either fiscal year fund.

Have weekly order status reports list ALL outstanding orders and indicate those with an updated status from the previous week.
I receive a report each Tuesday but it only shows orders with a change to the status. It would be more useful to me to have a report showing all open orders and some sort of indicator (or sorted in such a manner) that orders that have been updated (or added) since the previous week are included. I find some orders sit for weeks or months with no action and complete report of all titles would help me to keep better tabs on it.

Snag bibliographic records without holdings
Because we import our own OCLC records for print items, we must first add a Holding to each record before adding the title to the Rialto cart, otherwise Rialto will not snag that record.
It would be convenient if Rialto could snag records without holdings, and for the purchase process to create the holding(s) instead, as with non-Rialto orders.

Multiple selectors
Librarian selectors like that they can see if a title they would like to order is already awaiting approval. However, they would like to be able to go to the orders awaiting approval and add their name as an additional selector on that item to give it "weight/priority" to order by the Rialto manager. Could there be a way to add additional selector names as a +1 on orders awaiting approval?
3 votesHello Amanda,
Would the ability to add comments to orders awaiting approval cover this request? You could post a comment, tag the approver, they'd receive an email letting them know you've posted a note.
Thank you for your suggestion.
