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.

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.

Rialto Market to Alma Purchase Request Crosswalk
When Selectors put purchase requests through the Alma Purchase Request form the Purchasing Manager can push the request to Rialto Market. But when Selectors put something in Rialto Market the Purchasing Manager cannot push it to Alma Purchasing Request form. This would be extremely helpful and eliminate the need to go into Rialto, cancel the order and re-create it from scratch in the Alma Purchase Request form.

Retaining Rialto information when ordering from a different vendor
If a selector finds an item in the Rialto market and submits an order for approval but one of our approvers decides it is better to order from a different vendor, we'd like a way of retaining the entered information (funds, notes, interested users, etc.) while redirecting the order to the non-Rialto vendor. I understand that the information does not disappear from Rialto when an order is rejected, but it would be great if the system allowed us to carry the information over to a POL with a different vendor.

Module information.
Please filter out duplicate citations, to allow us to easily see how many modules/students are associated with an owned book. When a lecturer uses the same book in multiple sections on a reading list then each instance is currently visible in Rialto. It would be more useful to know there are x number of modules and students associated with a book, rather than having to look through the list and eliminate all the duplicates.
Sometimes the same module appears 8-10 times for us as lecturers often refer to specific chapters from the same book in different sections of their reading…2 votesThank you for your suggestion.

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.

1-click Bulk assign orders awaiting approval
Allow users to Select All in orders awaiting approval and enable a button or link to "Assign to me" Right now the only way to assign to yourself an order awaiting approval is to "interact somehow" with an individual title. I want to bulk assign all of the orders awaiting approval to me. We have multiple people approving orders. It should be as easy to assign orders as it is to unassign.

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:
Acquisitions > Purchase Requests > Manage Purchase Requests > Unassigned >…1 voteThank you for your suggestion.

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?

Allow libraries to toggle the 'Approve and order' option in the 'Manage Purchase Requests' workflow
We’ve recently discovered that our librarians, despite only having the selector role in Rialto, and thus not being able to directly place orders, are still creating POLs in Alma by selecting the ‘Approve and order’ option in the ‘Manage Purchase Requests’ workflow.
In our case, a few dozen POLs were created that had no vendor, fund code, shelving location, no platform or access model for eBooks, and no format or edition for print titles. Getting all of this after the fact from the librarians then editing the POLs is quite cumbersome and undoes a lot of the efficiency Rialto otherwise…

Fund code retention for order history needed
When a title awaiting approval in Market is rejected, the fund name is retained but the fund code is dropped. This is a problem because once it's rejected, the code information is gone and we have no other way to get that information back. Can you fix this so that the fund code is retained along with the fund name in the order history for the rejected titles (it can be retained for all if that program fix is easier, but we need it primarily for the rejected titles.

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).
