  1. "In your lists" tag hyperlinked to take you directly to the list in question.

    When looking at a record in Alma that flags up as "In your lists," it would be really helpful if the "In your lists" tag is hyperlinked to take you to the list in question so that comments can be added etc. At the moment it doesn't even tell you which list it is in, and to get to them you have to go to the My Lists link and look for it.

    This is now completed with the April, 2024 release. Clickable links adjacent to badges are now present within offer details to allow users to more easily navigate through Rialto. ​

    ​

    Upon clicking a badge:​

    • "In your cart" - redirects to the user's cart, with a focus on the selected item.​
    • "In your lists" - navigates to the pertinent list, highlighting the selected item.​
    • "Purchased in Rialto" - leads to the order history, centered on the selected item.​

  2. Task in Tasks widget for Approvals

    For orders waiting for approval, it would be nice to have a task appear in the Tasks widget. Then approvers wouldn't need to check within Rialto constantly to see if anyone has placed an order for approval - they could just see it in the widget and know when to follow up to finalize the order.

  3. 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…

  4. Add a Shipping Time Facet to Marketplace search results

    Please add a Shipping Time facet to results from a Marketplace search. In this way selectors can quickly know if items are "In Stock, Usually ships within a few days" or will take longer to ship. I always look for this when selecting titles. This facet will make the process much easier. Thanks.

  5. Reading list information in Rialto

    We want to see when a title is on an active course and reading list in Rialto. This will allow us to prioritize titles that are currently being used in courses.

  6. Make "In Your Institution" clearer

    It would be great if we could more clearly differentiate when we hold the current edition listed in the marketplace verses a previous edition. We don't want to see items in a feed when we already hold a current edition, but we're likely to update editions when we already hold previous editions. Right now the amount of clicking needed and the location of that information is difficult for selectors to find.

  7. "My Lists" should include a total cost option

    We frequently need to order with a strict cap on funds. When utilizing Rialto's "My Lists" to plan purchases, it would be helpful if the list could show a "Total Cost" for items in the list. Otherwise, we need to add items to the Shopping Cart, see the total, go back to the list and adjust until we've added the proper amount of orders to the cart. Or we can do the math outside of the system. It would simplify and speed up the Rialto ordering process if "My Lists" included a "Total Cost" option.

  8. 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.

  9. Automatic template updates at Fiscal Rollover

    Automatic updates for templates with new funds for the upcoming fiscal year. Currently, only those who created the templates can update the funds, which can create some logistical issues.

  10. Notifications when saved forthcoming titles are officially published

    We have a running list of not yet published titles that we frequently check for publication updates. We also have a handful sitting in our Orders Awaiting Approval cart. It would be great if Rialto could send us a notification when saved titles are officially published and available for purchase (not pre-order).

  11. Improve accuracy and currency of availability information for titles

    We frequently get notification of orders being cancelled despite them showing as available for purchase. It seems that the availability information is not as up to date as it could be and the result is a lot of time wasted in manually cancelling POLs in Alma. Please provide more up to date information on the actual availability of titles.

  12. Upgrade ProQuest Ebook Central Licenses within Rialto

    It is currently not possible to upgrade ProQuest ebook licenses within Rialto. Instead, users must go to LibCentral to do this. We should be able to do this in Rialto.

  13. Tick box to indicate a title is intended duplicate

    Include a tick box to indicate that an item is an intended duplicate.

    Currently staff members have to add a vendor note to indicate this, this feature is available with other vendors e.g. Oasis.

  14. Add Reporting Codes as a drop down field when selecting item for DDA

    At the point of adding a title to DDA, a drop down field would be beneficial to input Reporting Codes so when a title is triggered this information pulls through into the POL which we wish to use to report from.

    Rialto has added reporting codes for both DDA offers added to the pool from a selection plan and when manually adding a title to the DDA pool so that users can enhance internal reporting capabilities.​ This is available to folks who have migrated to the new order/invoice service for Rialto. 

    ​

    Manual DDA add settings will also now persist from page to page for the user’s session.  ​

  15. Add tracking numbers to Rialto order history

    Add (shipping) tracking numbers to the order history details panel.

    'Shipped to customer' is already one of the statuses - add a tracking number and link so that we can track the shipments.

    When provided by the carrier, Rialto will display the tracking URL for physical shipments. The tracking number and link appear within the order details for a physical item on the order history page.​

    ​
    Tracking will appear for all orders going forward, the change is not retroactive.

    This was completed as part of the June 2022 release. However, when testing we did notice that it will align to the top of the page until the page is fully loaded, which can take a moment, and then place you back on the item you'd originally selected after the page loads.

    We did find an issue with this working correctly on the "Orders Awaiting Approval" page. We have opened a ticket with the team to have this fixed.



  17. Filter by platform on order history

    Allow for filtering by platform on the order history page. This will provide an easy way to review all purchases under a platform in Rialto so we can better identify spend.

  19. Separate finalizing stage from Purchase Request form page with confirmation message and link to create new request

    Currently, the finalizing stage is completed on the same page as the rest of the form. However, I believe it would be more effective if the message of finalization appeared on a different, separate page, where the patron doesn't see the request fields. This separation would provide a clearer distinction between the completion of the form and the finalization process.

    Additionally, I recommend adding a link in the finalizing stage page, that allows the user to create a new Purchase Request.

    I believe these enhancements would improve the user experience and make the process more transparent and user-friendly.

  20. Publisher exclusion list

    We'd like to create a list of publishers to exclude from feeds and selection plans. Having a list that we could access within the query builder would save us time when creating feeds and plans as well as reduce maintence.
