Enable authentication on purchase request web form
The customization options on the purchase request web form are great, but we cannot use it until the requestor can authenticate. We need to know who they are.
At present they appear as "Guest" in the request. An accident waiting to happen - when we update the requester to the wrong person.
Also we would only want this service available to institutional members, and would want to avoid mischievous use by unknown persons.71 votesHello,
We developed this feature to not have authentication. There is a form available in Alma that does support authentication. I searched and I think this answer provides links to how to create an authenticated form in Alma: Direct Linking to the Purchase Request Form - Ex Libris Knowledge Center (exlibrisgroup.com)

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.
48 votesHello,
The Rialto team has reviewed this idea but at this time we cannot commit it to the roadmap as outside (provider) commitments are required to do so. Note, we did include full download/chapter download within the offer detail display as part of the February 2022 release, though it was not captured in the release notes as part of a broader enhancement to the area.

Activate electronic inventory in Alma regardless of invoicing by provider platform for Rialto
Rialto aligns activation of electronic inventory in Alma with invoicing by the provider platform, except for Rapid Activation providers.
This causes a poor patron experience when we find that the platform may very quickly activate a resource, but take longer to provide an invoice.
In sum, the patron doesn’t get the Interested User notice of access for sometimes weeks, only due to paperwork and library staff having to do manual work to follow up orders open for an unexpectedly long period.It is suggested that all providers supplying electronic inventory orders via Rialto have the same process flow as for…
32 votesHello,
Elizabeth is correct, we aren't able to activate portfolios until we have been notified by the provider that the item is available. For some platforms, this comes with their invoice. If we make things available before we are notified that they are available there would be times where we didn't have a URL for activation or that if a patron tried to access the item it would not be available on the platform. That being said, we are trying to optimize activation to ensure it happens in Alma as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your idea.

Continuous, dynamic DDA deduping based on Alma holdings
Currently, if a book is in our DDA pool, and then we acquire it in another Alma collection, the book remains in our DDA pool (allowing us to trigger a book we already have) unless we follow a tedious manual process for identifying and removing such books from the DDA pool. This enhancement would make it so our Alma holdings "talk back" to LibCentral, so if we get a new book, and if that book is in our DDA pool, it is automatically removed from the DDA pool in Rialto, Ebook Central/LibCentral, and in the Alma repository.This would reduce the…

DDA pool - display more information about when titles were added and who added them
We would like to be able to see the date/time when titles were added to the DDA pool, and which operator added them. Currently it is only possible to filter by month. Date/time would make it easier to troubleshoot when the MARC records occasionally don't get imported by the Repository import in Alma PDA.

Notify customers when platform vendors reject a DDA title in Rialto
When a librarian adds titles to the DDA pool and they disappear because the platform vendor has removed them, librarians want to be notified. Librarians are losing track of what has been lost. They recently become aware of lost titles because of titles that were special requests. After these became known, and it was discovered that this list was growing, a concern for untracked titles developed. How many pushed DDA titles go missing? All selectors who push DDA titles need to be sent a regular monthly report by email of the titles that were removed.

Add vendor account information to the EDI file
Currently, EDI files for Rialto do not include the vendor account information, requiring us to manually enter this information for each invoice. This requires numerous extra clicks in order to close invoices. Per Alma's documentation, this information can be automatically populated using the RFF+API input field. We would like the EDI configuration updated to include this field.

Added detail to badges
We sometimes see the badge "in your institution" for an item in the marketplace, but when looking at the detailed holdings information, it's actually a different edition or format. It would be helpful to have an alternate badge in those cases: something like "in your institution- mismatched ISBN", "in your institution- alternate edition", or "in your institution- alternate format". This way, we could tell at a glance whether we owned the exact edition or format we're looking to purchase.

Ability to configure purchase forms in Alma
Add the ability to configure the purchase forms used in the cart by selectors.
At the moment you can change what fields are viewed as default by your institution but they can be reselected by an individual user creating their own view.
For example we do not use item policy and we do not want all users being able to send notes to vendors from this form.

Reporting code selection
After the March update, we are seeing a drop down with radio buttons for the reporting code field. You must select the reporting code and then click off of the drop down in order for the drop down to disappear. This is not efficient when working through the orders. Since this is new behavior implemented by the Rialto developers, we would like to have the ability to disable this feature and regress back to the original behavior which is being able to select recently used or selecting the code then having the drop down disappear after the selection.

Internal item specific notes for titles on lists
It would be great if internal notes could be added to specific items that have been added to lists, with only ppl with access to said list(s) able to see the notes. This feature would be useful for rush/reserve/replacement/special orders when the selector needs to communicate information specific to the item.

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.

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

Upgrade other ebook access models in Rialto eg Ebsco
Hi
It would be helpful to be able to upgrade more publisher platform ebooks than just EBC in Rialto.
Rialto is providing the opportunity to order ebooks eg. on Ebsco platform - it would be cost efficient to libraries to also enable us to upgrade our copy access.
