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.

Allow Super Selectors to duplicate order templates
The Super Selector role can create order templates. Super Selectors should also be able to duplicate order templates to save time in creating their own since order templates often share many of the same field entries.

Add vendor account information to the EDI file
Currently, EDI files for Rialto do not include the vendor account information, requiring us to manually enter this information for each invoice. This requires numerous extra clicks in order to close invoices. Per Alma's documentation, this information can be automatically populated using the RFF+API input field. We would like the EDI configuration updated to include this field.

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.

Cart Templates - make sorting sticky or create facets in left menu that can be saved
The "Sort by" function for Cart Templates is not sticky and the only options for sorting are Creation date (the default) and Name. Once you've navigated away it reverts back to Sort by: Creation date. I'd like to see either facets or additional sorting options and to make the sort option sticky.

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.

A pause purchasing function
When acquisitions wanted to implement fiscal roll over, there was a challenge ensuring that no additional orders were submitted. A "pause purchasing" option would greatly help administrators in those few days of fiscal roll over.

Out-of-Print book availability
One of the more frustrating aspects currently when selectors order back titles is that the titles frequently end up unfulfilled. When ordered in a competitor's system these titles would have been sourced through a rather robust out-of-print network of vendors that ensured availability for these back titles (such as Alibris or Abebooks). It would be great to see such a service incorporated in Rialto so that these titles do not go from ordered>>back ordered>>backorder duration reached, order canceled.

Display fund amount in cart and error message if insufficient funds
Currently, selectors are able to submit orders for approval while using funds with insufficient funds (regardless of the overencumbrance being set to yes, no, or limitless). The selector will not see an error message saying that the funds are insufficient for the title.
We would like an option for the available funds to be made visible for the approver when they select the fund, with an error message being triggered upon checkout. Alternatively, it shouldn't be possible to send for approval with an insufficient fund

Have more control over the Shelving Library/Location drop down list
Currently the Shelving Library/Location drop down list cannot be changed and it appears to be in order of when a library was created in Alma.
We would prefer the order to be either:
-alphabetical order
-alphabetical order, with the logged in users home library at the top (as is the order when placing requests in Alma fulfillment).
This would make it easier for selectors to find the library they want to order for.We would also like the ability to exclude libraries from this list. Currently our eResources library displays.
16 votesWe will take a look at the out-of-order library list in Shelving Library/Location. This appears to be a defect--in the future you can report these to Support directly if you'd like.
Regarding hiding libraries, you can scope your user roles to the relevant ordering library/libraries and it will only show libraries and locations that that ordering library has "Acquire For" relationships with.

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.

Update expected date in Alma
I'd like the expected date to update in Alma automatically when the publication date is moved and that information is updated in Rialto market place or via an order status report. Also, some sort of criteria added so that an expected date can never be set to occur before a predicted publish date (i.e. to eliminate the overdue order flag in the Alma task widget if the item doesn't arrive within the set acquisitions time frame when the publication date is months away.)

Reporting code selection
After the March update, we are seeing a drop down with radio buttons for the reporting code field. You must select the reporting code and then click off of the drop down in order for the drop down to disappear. This is not efficient when working through the orders. Since this is new behavior implemented by the Rialto developers, we would like to have the ability to disable this feature and regress back to the original behavior which is being able to select recently used or selecting the code then having the drop down disappear after the selection.

Override call number in Analytics
We would like the "override call number" to be a value in Analytics so that we can report on any order that has been submitted with an override call number.

Hide vendor notes from selectors
Remove the ability for selector roles to be able to add vendor notes, as this can delay orders and notes tend to be added by approvers.

Ability to configure purchase forms in Alma
Add the ability to configure the purchase forms used in the cart by selectors.
At the moment you can change what fields are viewed as default by your institution but they can be reselected by an individual user creating their own view.
For example we do not use item policy and we do not want all users being able to send notes to vendors from this form.

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.

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)

Cart Templates--Approval search
Templates are searchable when ordering titles but they are not searchable once in the approval queue. For instances where a template would be useful and there are many templates to search through it would be great to be able to search the templates in the approval area as well.
