Next Day Delivery for Non-Serviced Books.
There are instances where we need to get physical copies of books as quickly as possible. Currently we order them from Amazon but would prefer if Rialto had an option for this. Would be great to place urgent orders with no servicing and receive them within 24 hours.

Discounted Price in RIALTO
Please show the actual price the library will pay (print items) in RIALTO. It is difficult to make purchasing decisions without knowing the cost.

interested user
Currently I can only add up to five interested users in Rialto. If I have more than five interested users I have to go to the POL in Alma and add the additional interested users. I would like to be able to increase the number of interested users I can add in Rialto.

Apply account credits/deposits from LibCentral in Rialto
Would like the ability to apply account credits/deposits from LibCentral in Rialto purchases. At this time, in order to pay for a Rialto order with deposit funds, it requires 3 steps.
1) Wait for invoice to generate
2) Contact PQ customer support and request that they apply the invoice to deposit funds
3) Wait for request to process and receive cleared invoiceThis whole series can take several business days to complete. It would save a LOT of staff time and energy on all sides to create this purchase capability in Rialto. At checkout, there should be an option to…

Include "material type" as an option when creating cart template
Please make "material type" an option in Rialto cart templates so we don't have to edit each newly created POL in order to add that information.

Allow order template to be applied at selection stage rather than in cart
Option to add order template at item selection stage to enable users to fill up their cart with multiple items and check out just once per session. Currently a template can only be added once an item is within the cart; meaning a user must remember each item's requirements and apply the correct template if they have a full cart of items, or have to check each item out individually.

Viewing the pdf invoice in Rialto
Previously in Oasis, we were able to download the pdf of the physical invoice that was sent. We would like to be able to click on a pdf link to download the pdf invoice from Rialto. It would be helpful in comparing the physical invoice to the invoice generated in Alma from Rialto.

Improve matching between format of order and format of bibs in Network Zone
Matching routines between Rialto and Alma focus on the ISBN as a match point, primarily using 020$a and 020$z, but also using 775$z and 776$z. When a Rialto institution is in a consortium using a Network Zone, and the NZ is configured as the repository for records to be added, this match method may result in false matches between records of different formats.
For example, a title selected in Rialto for a one-time print book purchase may be matched on a bibliographic record for the electronic version based on the ISBN found in a 776$z. The 776 field identifies an…

Add a button/method to have Rialto follow-up on an existing order without having to submit a case with support.
Primarily thinking of items that have not been filled after a reasonable amount of time and do not have any updates (i.e. claimed from publisher, not yet published, not yet activated, etc) if there was a button to ask Rialto to provide a status update, this would be great.

Option to share list with all Rialto users
Currently, individual users must be assigned to shared lists. This is a huge waste of time in large libraries where there are more than 30 users with specific Rialto roles. Ideally there would be an option to share lists with all rialto selectors, orderers, admin, etc. The option can even define groups based on user roles. This option should also work when a list should no longer be shared. Instead of clicking on a few dozen Xs, there should be the option to revert the list back to private.

Include Call Number / Classification information on Orders Awaiting Approval records
The appropriate location for physical materials in our library is dependent on the call number. Our selectors don't know the breakdown, and by the time an offer is awaiting approval, the call number/classification information isn't listed in the task list; an approver would have to go back to the Title in the Market to get that relevant information. We'd like the call number/classification information in the brief results on the Orders Awaiting Approval page to avoid this extra step.

Trouble with one-time orders when invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price
For Rialto one-time orders, if the invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price, Alma does not update the order and invoice correctly. Alma does not release the remaining encumbrance, nor does it update the Invoice Status to Fully Invoiced and the POL status to Closed. You can run three Alma jobs to release the encumbrance and fix the statuses, but we believe 1) Alma should do this automatically instead of requiring customers to run jobs or 2) Ex Libris should offer the ability to release the encumbrance just like it does now with continuous orders.

Notification of cancelled orders where a different ISBN will be supplied - better workflow with Alma POLs
If we place an order and later receive notification that the ISBN ordered is not available and a different ISBN is to be supplied, Rialto requires the cancellation of the original Alma POL and creation of a new one for the new ISBN in Rialto. Pre-Rialto, in such cases we could relink the Alma POL to a new bib record, which was quicker and created fewer cancelled POLs on Alma. We would like a more streamlined workflow for this scenario, requiring less manual work.

Allow Split Funding
Please allow us to select multiple funds per purchase order. Our selectors often share costs on purchases. We currently have to place the order on one fund, then edit to split funds after purchase, but sometimes when funding is too low we aren't able to do this.

List Functionality Enhancements
enhance list functionality by allowing lists to be archived, by allowing users to change the default sorting on the list of lists to sort by title; allow sorting by title within a list so that Print and Electronic duplicate titles appear together; allow users to be notified when a list is shared with them (either via email or Alma popup)

Display fund code as well as fund in order history
In Order History (including Excel export), include option to display/filter by Fund Code, in addition to Fund. We have multiple cases where a single fund supports multiple fund codes (e.g., endowed fund split across multiple subject funds), often assigned to a single selector. Rialto's purchase details in the order history don't show the specific fund code used, making it especially tough to keep track of remaining balances while those orders await approval.

Add filters to order history to allow sorting by order status such as not yet published/backordered, claimed from publisher, etc.
I'd like a quick way to sort orders by order status without having to open each one. A filter for not yet published/backordered and another for claimed from publisher would be a great start. Also adding some sort of notification or filter for items that have had a change in publication date (i.e. originally due in December, new date is May)
