  1. Transfer Multiple Items from Cart To List

    There is no way to mass transfer all the items in a cart onto a list. Items can only be sent from the cart to a list one at a time. I think it would be beneficial to have the ability do a bulk transfer of an entire cart to a list.

  2. 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…

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. add an email notification option for purchase requests

    When a purchase request happens, let us add an email notification. I check email more often than Alma. Orders are a priority I need to be alerted quickly

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. Add Material Type field to the Purchase Request info displayed in Rialto

    When a Purchase Request is submitted via Primo and Acquisitions staff "search in market" the Purchase Request information shows to the right of the results list. Unfortunately Material Type is not included so there is no way to know if the patron requested a Print or Ebook copy of the book.

  19. 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.
