Indicate if a book is available through EBA/DDA in Rialto
There should be a badge to indicate if a book is available through some collective purchase program. This way, one may see if a certain program has many requested titles, and might consider buying the whole bundle.

Improve Rialto Configuration visibility and editing access for the Rialto Administrator role
Currently Rialto is a ‘black box’ for a great deal of configuration which is controlled by Ex Libris and only visible to Ex Libris. For many settings, customers do not even have Read access, let alone Edit access. This issue is compounded by extremely minimal documentation on Rialto administration that configuration settings even exist at all and the options for them.
This leads to situations we have experienced where we began ordering physical titles through Rialto and were incorrectly billed in the wrong currency. And another where our EDI was not functioning as expected, due to invisible misconfiguration. And another…1 vote -
Easy access to Rialto 'Orders awaiting approval'
Currently in Alma you can access the orders awaiting approval in the Tasks widget on the home screen. To get to Rialto orders awaiting approval there a two ways. Through the left flyout menu, taking a few clicks, or by going to settings on the Alma home screen and pinning the Task list (top Alma banner) and having Rialto show. Neither way is easy or convenient like the Tasks widget

Add Templates to Cart defaults (Title Alerts)
To be able to add existing cart templates at a title alert level to the cart defaults tab instead of manually adding it to each title alert. Currently I apply the template when it has been added to the cart which limits me to working on one area at a time.

Specific Days for Title Alerts to Run
Be able to set a specific day of the week for each title alert to run so I can run/review similar groups at the same time. Currently my title alerts are all set to a review day of Sunday but they seem to pull based on the day of the week they were created not on the review day.

Add a "Create cart templates" privilege to Rialto roles (or allow Rialto Admin role to view all Cart Templates in the institution)
We are just implementing Rialto and we would like to be able to control who can create Cart Templates by having a role privilege that can be removed upon request from particular roles.
Pre-Rialto implementation, we already have occasional problems with orders being created for the wrong physical location, for example, Course Reserves orders given the wrong permanent location which means that a holdings update needs to be done by our cataloguing team later down the track.
We would like to have a set of Cart Templates that all our staff make use of so that we know everyone is…

Email Alerts for Order Rejections
When an order is rejected, the selector should be emailed an alert instead of solely relying on the notifications section of Alma. Selectors often don't think to check notifications in Alma. There are already title alert notifications via email so this functionality should not require much development.

Move items in bulk from Orders Awaiting Approval to a list
Currently titles in "Orders Awaiting Approval" can't be sent to a list in bulk. The only option is to "Reject" them and then send them to a list one at a time. One example of when this would be useful is titles that are not yet published. They currently sit waiting sometimes for months and just create clutter. Not to mention I don't want to "reject" them. It would help tremendously if I could move them in bulk to a list.

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…68 votes -
Show title's language in ALL Rialto pages
Currently, the language of the edition is specified in the market under the author when searching by the ISBN or title, and under the edition when you click the title. We propose that the language of the book be consistently displayed on all Rialto pages. There is no clear indication of the language on the page where we actually decide which edition to purchase (please see screenshot). The edition with the tag 'Purchased in Rialto' in the screenshot is actually a Russian title, even though the title is in English.
It would also be helpful to have an option to…42 votes -
selector limit to ebooks only
We are only interested in ordering ebooks from RIALTO and I would like our selectors to see only ebooks and not try to order print titles. I'm told this isn't possible at this time. We can try to train them to limit...

Sort offers accurately by price
When sorting by price, discounts are not considered, resulting in an illogical sort. Please see attached screenshot demonstrating the issue.

Assign different loan policies to an order of multiple copies
Please allow us to assign more than one loan policy to an order for multiple copies. This feature already exists in ALMA for general ordering. The request is to extend this feature to Rialto. Currently we must assign one loan policy to an order and add a receiving note to edit the item settings on receipt.

Display clearly My Institution availability on Network zone electronic holdings panel
Instead of just displaying the name of the held-by network on the holdings panel, it would be better if it also displays that it's available for My Institution, something like this: Electronic Material Held by "Network Zone name" available for "My Institution."
This way, we don't need to click on the link to see holdings record details and availability for my institution.

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.44 votes -
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.

Include a "View in Primo" link on holdings panel for "In Your Institution" items
When viewing an item that is already owned by the library, the Holdings panel displays some limited holdings information, such as item location and availability. It would be helpful for selectors if a link to view the item in Primo was available on this panel as well so they can view more detailed item/holdings information.

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.
