  1. Enhance the search options in Market > Order History

    Currently the search options available in Market > Order History are Title, ISBN, PO Line Reference, and MMS ID.
    It is found that the Title field searches only by 245 $a main title and does not search by also 245 $b, despite that both the 245 $a and $b display in the UI side panel.
    This leads to a frustrating experience with poor return for many titles but particularly in cases such as a short main title and more detailed subtitle.
    For example: “Why? The purpose of the universe” (see attachment).
    This behaviour was reported in a case and advised…

  2. Provide the ability to control record linking by ISBN

    We would like the implementation of an option that allows us to decide whether or not an order should automatically link itself to any single matching record with the same ISBN already existing in our system.
    Currently, the automatic merging of records with the same ISBN creates confusion and inefficiency in our cataloguing process, which requires manual separation and correction.

  3. Add Reporting Codes as a drop down field when selecting item for DDA

    At the point of adding a title to DDA, a drop down field would be beneficial to input Reporting Codes so when a title is triggered this information pulls through into the POL which we wish to use to report from.

    Rialto has added reporting codes for both DDA offers added to the pool from a selection plan and when manually adding a title to the DDA pool so that users can enhance internal reporting capabilities.​ This is available to folks who have migrated to the new order/invoice service for Rialto. 

    ​

    Manual DDA add settings will also now persist from page to page for the user’s session.  ​

  5. Make "In Your Institution" clearer

    It would be great if we could more clearly differentiate when we hold the current edition listed in the marketplace verses a previous edition. We don't want to see items in a feed when we already hold a current edition, but we're likely to update editions when we already hold previous editions. Right now the amount of clicking needed and the location of that information is difficult for selectors to find.

  6. "My Lists" should include a total cost option

    We frequently need to order with a strict cap on funds. When utilizing Rialto's "My Lists" to plan purchases, it would be helpful if the list could show a "Total Cost" for items in the list. Otherwise, we need to add items to the Shopping Cart, see the total, go back to the list and adjust until we've added the proper amount of orders to the cart. Or we can do the math outside of the system. It would simplify and speed up the Rialto ordering process if "My Lists" included a "Total Cost" option.

  7. "Buy it Now" option in Selection Plan

    We received a request for purchase from a patron for an ebook which is in our current batch of selection plan titles in review so if we do nothing it will ship, which is fine.

    My question is on the Purchase title button. I had hoped that this would act as a Buy It Now option such that with a click, Rialto would deliver immediately, the selection plan profiled "copy" of the book.

    However, It seems that Purchase Title simply moves the order to the firm order workflow, thus requiring manual (or template) entry of the ordering library, fund, report…

    We added a "Buy it now" capability to Rialto this year, we're calling it "Finalize Snapshot." See the release notes below:

  8. "Replace Offer" changes selector

    Our workflow is that the librarians put orders through to approval, and acquisitions staff then approves those orders. Sometimes they find an alternate "offer" that is lower priced or in stock (as opposed to shipping in 4 weeks, etc.) and use the "replace title" feature to change which offer they are approving. This replaces who the selector of record is to the staff member rather than the librarian that originally selected the title.

    Could this be fixed so that the original selector stays the "selector of record" throughout the process even in a different offer is selected? This will will…

  9. Separate finalizing stage from Purchase Request form page with confirmation message and link to create new request

    Currently, the finalizing stage is completed on the same page as the rest of the form. However, I believe it would be more effective if the message of finalization appeared on a different, separate page, where the patron doesn't see the request fields. This separation would provide a clearer distinction between the completion of the form and the finalization process.

    Additionally, I recommend adding a link in the finalizing stage page, that allows the user to create a new Purchase Request.

    I believe these enhancements would improve the user experience and make the process more transparent and user-friendly.

  10. Recents option when adding funds

  11. Purchase request form customizations

    I suggest that the "requested format" field in the purchase request form should be customizable and optional.

    Also, it would be great with the opportunity for a language switcher - allowing for multiple languages.

    Hello,


    This is part of the September 2024 release. The Purchase Request Form now enables customers to set the default option to "Physical" instead of "Electronic." Previously, users could only include or exclude formats, with the default always being "Electronic." Now, users can set their preferred default format when using the purchase request web form.

  12. Upgrade ProQuest Ebook Central Licenses within Rialto

    It is currently not possible to upgrade ProQuest ebook licenses within Rialto. Instead, users must go to LibCentral to do this. We should be able to do this in Rialto.

  13. "In your lists" tag hyperlinked to take you directly to the list in question.

    When looking at a record in Alma that flags up as "In your lists," it would be really helpful if the "In your lists" tag is hyperlinked to take you to the list in question so that comments can be added etc. At the moment it doesn't even tell you which list it is in, and to get to them you have to go to the My Lists link and look for it.

    This is now completed with the April, 2024 release. Clickable links adjacent to badges are now present within offer details to allow users to more easily navigate through Rialto. ​

    ​

    Upon clicking a badge:​

    • "In your cart" - redirects to the user's cart, with a focus on the selected item.​
    • "In your lists" - navigates to the pertinent list, highlighting the selected item.​
    • "Purchased in Rialto" - leads to the order history, centered on the selected item.​

  14. 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.

    We completed this work in July 2023. You should be able to add more than 5 interested users in the cart and orders awaiting approval. Templates would still limit to 5 interested users.

  15. Add a Shipping Time Facet to Marketplace search results

    Please add a Shipping Time facet to results from a Marketplace search. In this way selectors can quickly know if items are "In Stock, Usually ships within a few days" or will take longer to ship. I always look for this when selecting titles. This facet will make the process much easier. Thanks.

  16. Better publisher filters in Rialto query builder

    It is difficult to exclude publishers from a DDA pool due to poor filter design in Rialto. The filters rely on keyword matching rather than controlled values. This allowed unwanted publishers' books to enter our DDA pool, and the removal process was tedious and highly error prone, taking months to complete. Rialto needs better publisher filtering so unwanted publishers do not enter the DDA pool at all. One possibility is that publisher names could be a controlled vocabulary selected via a dropdown menu. This would ensure that unwanted publishers are excluded from libraries' selection plans. This would also eliminate the…

  17. Task in Tasks widget for Approvals

    For orders waiting for approval, it would be nice to have a task appear in the Tasks widget. Then approvers wouldn't need to check within Rialto constantly to see if anyone has placed an order for approval - they could just see it in the widget and know when to follow up to finalize the order.

  19. Working with lists in Rialto

    Make it easier to view the various iterations of a work when working within the Rialto list environment. Right now you can only view in the list the work iteration that exactly matches your ISBN. You have to click on the iteration, then "see other iterations" to view the other iterations. It would be great if the list feature could display multiple iterations like a general marketplace search does.
