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.

Allow library to edit the Rialto purchase request form confirmation text
There is a green pop-up that appears when the purchase request form is submitted, and we would like this to be added to the form label table so that we can edit the text. Currently it says "Purchase request for {title} submitted".

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…

Display list owner name when viewing detailed information from the "In Other's List" tag
When looking at an item that is on another's list, one can hover over the tag to see the name of the list that the item is on. It would be helpful if the name of the owner of that list was also included in the information to facilitate communication about the title if necessary.

Allow for the removal, suppression, or the ability to null out the "Available Balance" in Rialto templates.
My institution would like a way to remove or otherwise alter the Available Funds amount show in individual selector templates. Selectors know the full collection budget but are allocated spending goals that allows us to account for over and under spending on the admin side. Having the full amount shown could cause confusion since the amount varies based on our different campuses that share the CD budget at varying amounts for each campus and, in some cases, assigned selector areas.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

User Tagging in Comments/Notes Across Rialto Platform
There is a very useful feature where selectors are able to tag each other in comments on items in lists. This feature doesn't seem to be available in other parts of Rialto such as from search results or in Title Alerts. It would be very useful for selector collaboration if user tagging could be expanded to more places throughout Rialto.

Allow filtering by Market Place badge
When creating a list of items from a set of ISBNs it would be helpful to be able to filter by titles that have the badge "Library Activity" or other badges e.g. "David's List". Either to filter these out (David is dealing with that title), or filter down to "Library Activity" to check what this might be or exclude it from a results set (e.g. is this a new edtion/format, or anything already available we are not interested in). In general having the ability to filter by badge in any area could would be useful for narrowing down in different…

Notify customers when platform vendors reject a DDA title in Rialto
When a librarian adds titles to the DDA pool and they disappear because the platform vendor has removed them, librarians want to be notified. Librarians are losing track of what has been lost. They recently become aware of lost titles because of titles that were special requests. After these became known, and it was discovered that this list was growing, a concern for untracked titles developed. How many pushed DDA titles go missing? All selectors who push DDA titles need to be sent a regular monthly report by email of the titles that were removed.

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.

Automatically Import Turnaways into Rialto Lists
We'd like to be able to set up an API or something similar that would automatically import turnaway lists into Rialto lists, to assist with quick purchasing & decision making. Ideally, we would like a list per platform, and the ability to set it up to run automatically on a chosen time frame (perhaps once a quarter).

Continuous, dynamic DDA deduping based on Alma holdings
Currently, if a book is in our DDA pool, and then we acquire it in another Alma collection, the book remains in our DDA pool (allowing us to trigger a book we already have) unless we follow a tedious manual process for identifying and removing such books from the DDA pool. This enhancement would make it so our Alma holdings "talk back" to LibCentral, so if we get a new book, and if that book is in our DDA pool, it is automatically removed from the DDA pool in Rialto, Ebook Central/LibCentral, and in the Alma repository.This would reduce the…
