  1. 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.

  2. Sort search results by LC classification

    It would be great if we had the option to sort new title alert search results by LC Classification. While individual LCC letters already appear as facets, when reviewing longer lists with mixed subjects, it would be helpful to have items with similar subjects brought together on the longer list instead of having to move through each letter with the facets.

  3. 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…

  4. 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?

  5. 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 >…

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. automatically store platform information on the Rialto POL

    We would like the ebook order's platform provider to be automatically be stored on the Rialto POL. Currently, the only option is to manually add this information to the POL.
