Ability to add "offers"/"slips" manually
We currently get lists of titles from vendors in addition to finding out about titles through Rialto. We would like Rialto to be our one-stop-shop for Selectors. Ideally, we would be able to find every title in the Rialto marketplace; however, recognizing that there may occasionally be titles not in the marketplace, we'd like the ability to manually create a slip/offer with relevant bibliographic information for Selectors to review. That way we could then order from outside the system while the Selectors do all of their reviewing from within Rialto.

Order History Access>Restrict for Selector Privacy
Currently, all Rialto user roles have the ability to view the entire Rialto order history. We would like to control who gets to see this information. Just as we limit who sees who checks out books, we think who orders books is also private information. Selectors should only be able to view their own order history.

Improve matching between format of order and format of bibs in Network Zone
Matching routines between Rialto and Alma focus on the ISBN as a match point, primarily using 020$a and 020$z, but also using 775$z and 776$z. When a Rialto institution is in a consortium using a Network Zone, and the NZ is configured as the repository for records to be added, this match method may result in false matches between records of different formats.
For example, a title selected in Rialto for a one-time print book purchase may be matched on a bibliographic record for the electronic version based on the ISBN found in a 776$z. The 776 field identifies an…

Allow Split Funding
Please allow us to select multiple funds per purchase order. Our selectors often share costs on purchases. We currently have to place the order on one fund, then edit to split funds after purchase, but sometimes when funding is too low we aren't able to do this.

Recommendation profile rule - citation match?
When creating recommendation profiles, it would be useful if a rule could be added regarding citation matches, in order to reduce number of results to only those that relate to Leganto/alma citations. (i.e. in order to look for new editions for reading list material - new editions for held titles gives a large amount of results - if we could add an additional rule, that reduced results to those matching with matching titles to alma citations, this would be helpful).

Edition info in holdings
Would be useful if the institution holdings information when searching marketplace displayed edition info (i.e. 2nd ed, 3rd ed...) - currently shows just date and ISBN. Might be easier to establish current stock at a quick glance.

List Functionality Enhancements
enhance list functionality by allowing lists to be archived, by allowing users to change the default sorting on the list of lists to sort by title; allow sorting by title within a list so that Print and Electronic duplicate titles appear together; allow users to be notified when a list is shared with them (either via email or Alma popup)

Trouble with one-time orders when invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price
For Rialto one-time orders, if the invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price, Alma does not update the order and invoice correctly. Alma does not release the remaining encumbrance, nor does it update the Invoice Status to Fully Invoiced and the POL status to Closed. You can run three Alma jobs to release the encumbrance and fix the statuses, but we believe 1) Alma should do this automatically instead of requiring customers to run jobs or 2) Ex Libris should offer the ability to release the encumbrance just like it does now with continuous orders.

adding interested users & location notes when adding to lists
When compiling patron-recommended books in a list for future ordering, we need to be able to add the patrons as interested users, as well as noting specific locations for some books. Currently we can add notes, but in order to do so, we have to put items in a list, then view the list, find the items, and add notes. The enhancement would streamline the process.

Add a Rialto badge for Large Print books
There currently is no badge for large print books. It's difficult to discern if a title is in fact a large print edition and a badge would easily identify them to selectors.

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.

More information on publisher permissions for each ebook in Rialto Marketplace.
More complete information on publisher permissions for ebooks would be helpful. For example, (1) if printing or saving is allowed, and, if so, the number of pages allowed to be printed or saved, (2) if copying/pasting is allowed, and (3) if downloading is allowed, the number of pages that are allowed to be downloaded.

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.

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.
