    In order to reduce the amount of clicking in Advanced Seach, we would like to be able to set preferred Search fields and have those preferred fields saved and available each time Alma is opened.

  2. Add a "Create cart templates" privilege to Rialto roles (or allow Rialto Admin role to view all Cart Templates in the institution)

    We are just implementing Rialto and we would like to be able to control who can create Cart Templates by having a role privilege that can be removed upon request from particular roles.

    Pre-Rialto implementation, we already have occasional problems with orders being created for the wrong physical location, for example, Course Reserves orders given the wrong permanent location which means that a holdings update needs to be done by our cataloguing team later down the track.

    We would like to have a set of Cart Templates that all our staff make use of so that we know everyone is…

  3. Email Alerts for Order Rejections

    When an order is rejected, the selector should be emailed an alert instead of solely relying on the notifications section of Alma. Selectors often don't think to check notifications in Alma. There are already title alert notifications via email so this functionality should not require much development.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the request. The email option for rejected orders has been supported since notifications were released, November 2021. The settings are configurable per user to receive the pop up and/or email. By default, all notifications are set with only the pop up enabled. Please click here to read about how to modify settings, and all of the other notifications available within Rialto.

    Thank you,

  4. selector limit to ebooks only

    We are only interested in ordering ebooks from RIALTO and I would like our selectors to see only ebooks and not try to order print titles. I'm told this isn't possible at this time. We can try to train them to limit...

  5. Display clearly My Institution availability on Network zone electronic holdings panel

    Instead of just displaying the name of the held-by network on the holdings panel, it would be better if it also displays that it's available for My Institution, something like this: Electronic Material Held by "Network Zone name" available for "My Institution."

    This way, we don't need to click on the link to see holdings record details and availability for my institution.

  6. Include a "View in Primo" link on holdings panel for "In Your Institution" items

    When viewing an item that is already owned by the library, the Holdings panel displays some limited holdings information, such as item location and availability. It would be helpful for selectors if a link to view the item in Primo was available on this panel as well so they can view more detailed item/holdings information.

    Hello Alec, 

    I believe this is already supported from the "Holdings" panel. For electronic items, you should be able to click on the "Active" link and then on the ellipses, to see the option to "view in discovery," which takes you to Primo. For print items, you also click on the availability statement, "1 of 1 Available" for instance. This will take you to the bibliographic information about the title in your catalog, including a link to the MARC record. 

    Let me know if you have any questions, or follow up remarks. 

    Best regards,

  7. Allow for exclusion of "Not Yet Published" titles in Title Alert query

    In order to utilize the Selection Plan Slip functionality coming in the March 2024 release, it would be helpful if we could exclude "Not Yet Published" titles from the Slip rules.

    The use case we're concerned about is if a "Not Yet Published" title comes in on a Selection Plan Slip with only a print offer and an offer for the publisher site (ex. Routledge and Taylor & Francis), it's not something we'd want to firm order, but we would be interested in having it in DDA (but the DDA available offers haven't been added yet). If we reject it…

    Hello, 

    This is already supported in Rialto selection plans. If you go to the rule you'd like to edit, under "Condition" you can add a rule for "Availability" "Exclude" "Not yet published." This should create slips that don't include NYP titles. 

    Best regards,

  8. In Others' List/In Others' Cart

    It would be useful to be able to see somehow whose list or cart the item is in, not just that it is in someone else's list/cart.

    Hello Amanda, 

    We already support showing the name of the cart owner, I'm attaching an image that shows "demo rialto" which is the user in our demo account. Regarding showing the list owner, this is not something we can support, we do show the name of the list, however. 

    Thank you for submitting your idea.

  9. Add LC classification "F" in drop down menu in Market Search

    When doing an advanced search in Market for LC Classification, the "F" is hidden in the drop-down menu under the "E - History: America" classification. Would make more sense to have it as a standalone menu option. Or, rename the E menu option to say E and F. Otherwise, it looks like the F classification is not available to search.

  10. Ability to add reporting codes when placing an order for a unique item(s) to be processed by shelf ready

    It would be helpful to have the ability to add a reporting code for item(s) that are being ordered in Rialto for shelf ready processing which are being paid for by a specific department and are classified differently to other items and are only identifiable by the reporting code.

  11. Recommendation Feeds for Print Only Books

    We would like the ability to create recommendation feeds for print only books (meaning there are no ebook versions available in Rialto).

    The use case is that we purchase complete publisher front list ebook collections and some of them do not have the rights to publish books in electronic format (this often happens with art titles). We exclude these publishers from all our selector feeds to minimize duplicate purchases.

    It would be nice to include print only titles (either in existing selector feeds or new ones specifically for this purpose) so selectors won't miss them.

  12. Uploading ISBNs to the SEARCH menu to retrieve Alternate results back only

    When we upload searches to Market using an Excel spread sheet with the ISBN, have it to where we can retrieve the alternate results only. For example, we can upload Print ISBNs to get back only eBooks ISBN would be an IDEAL search if we can perform that. Or, exclude out what we don't want initially using SEARCH, add more options there. It's not enough options for us to choose what to exclude.

    Hello,

    When uploading you can choose "best match" or "exact match" for the ISBNs, use "best match" and be sure you're comparing it with a ranking profile that prefers ebooks, with your platform and license preference.

  13. Additional order reject reasons.

    Please add additional options for order reject reasons or an "Other" option where the approver can provide additional details. There are occasions when our approver needs to order titles from an outside vendor. In these instances, our approver currently selects "Duplicate order," and this leads to confusion among our selectors.

  14. Allow Customization of Messages from Rialto

  16. rush

    Option for institution to be able to remove the 'rush' option from the Shelf Ready section of the order cart.

    Not all book suppliers offer a rush service, and even if they do the extra charges aren't always known to the selector.

  17. Cancellation notification to client if POL is not able to be supplier - Rialto

    When creating a POL in Rialto, there is no functionality that enables the system to notify a client if a title is cancelled.
    Manual intervention is required to notify a client if the title is cancelled within ALMA.

    When an order is cancelled, Rialto generates a user notification to users with the role Rialto Manager.  If you're not receiving a notification and it is appropriate for your role, you can have that role assigned to your user.

    For more information about notifications, including this "Cancelled order" notification, see:

  18. Allow searching and sorting by price

    Allow to sort titles by price when browsing the marketplace. It would make it easier if you've got a limited amount of budget left to find a title within that price range.

  19. A pause purchasing function

    When acquisitions wanted to implement fiscal roll over, there was a challenge ensuring that no additional orders were submitted. A "pause purchasing" option would greatly help administrators in those few days of fiscal roll over.

  20. Add IGI Global as an e-book ordering platform option

    IGI Global content is available via other platforms but it would be great to order directly and get unlimited access.
