  1. 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.

  4. Improve matching between format of order and format of bibs in Network Zone

    Matching routines between Rialto and Alma focus on the ISBN as a match point, primarily using 020$a and 020$z, but also using 775$z and 776$z. When a Rialto institution is in a consortium using a Network Zone, and the NZ is configured as the repository for records to be added, this match method may result in false matches between records of different formats.

    For example, a title selected in Rialto for a one-time print book purchase may be matched on a bibliographic record for the electronic version based on the ISBN found in a 776$z. The 776 field identifies an…

  5. Allow Split Funding

    Please allow us to select multiple funds per purchase order. Our selectors often share costs on purchases. We currently have to place the order on one fund, then edit to split funds after purchase, but sometimes when funding is too low we aren't able to do this.

  6. Add to facet the shipped to customer order status

    It would be useful to filter to the "Shipped to Customer" order status when viewing the order history search results. Right now, I need to click on each record to view the shipped info.

  7. List Functionality Enhancements

    enhance list functionality by allowing lists to be archived, by allowing users to change the default sorting on the list of lists to sort by title; allow sorting by title within a list so that Print and Electronic duplicate titles appear together; allow users to be notified when a list is shared with them (either via email or Alma popup)

  8. Trouble with one-time orders when invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price

    For Rialto one-time orders, if the invoice line total price is lower than the PO Line total price, Alma does not update the order and invoice correctly. Alma does not release the remaining encumbrance, nor does it update the Invoice Status to Fully Invoiced and the POL status to Closed. You can run three Alma jobs to release the encumbrance and fix the statuses, but we believe 1) Alma should do this automatically instead of requiring customers to run jobs or 2) Ex Libris should offer the ability to release the encumbrance just like it does now with continuous orders.

  9. Option to share list with all Rialto users

    Currently, individual users must be assigned to shared lists. This is a huge waste of time in large libraries where there are more than 30 users with specific Rialto roles. Ideally there would be an option to share lists with all rialto selectors, orderers, admin, etc. The option can even define groups based on user roles. This option should also work when a list should no longer be shared. Instead of clicking on a few dozen Xs, there should be the option to revert the list back to private.

  10. Allow Super Selectors to duplicate order templates

    The Super Selector role can create order templates. Super Selectors should also be able to duplicate order templates to save time in creating their own since order templates often share many of the same field entries.

  11. Cart Templates - make sorting sticky or create facets in left menu that can be saved

    The "Sort by" function for Cart Templates is not sticky and the only options for sorting are Creation date (the default) and Name. Once you've navigated away it reverts back to Sort by: Creation date. I'd like to see either facets or additional sorting options and to make the sort option sticky.

  12. Notification of cancelled orders where a different ISBN will be supplied - better workflow with Alma POLs

    If we place an order and later receive notification that the ISBN ordered is not available and a different ISBN is to be supplied, Rialto requires the cancellation of the original Alma POL and creation of a new one for the new ISBN in Rialto. Pre-Rialto, in such cases we could relink the Alma POL to a new bib record, which was quicker and created fewer cancelled POLs on Alma. We would like a more streamlined workflow for this scenario, requiring less manual work.

  13. Have more control over the Shelving Library/Location drop down list

    Currently the Shelving Library/Location drop down list cannot be changed and it appears to be in order of when a library was created in Alma.

    We would prefer the order to be either:
    -alphabetical order
    -alphabetical order, with the logged in users home library at the top (as is the order when placing requests in Alma fulfillment).
    This would make it easier for selectors to find the library they want to order for.

    We would also like the ability to exclude libraries from this list. Currently our eResources library displays.

    We will take a look at the out-of-order library list in Shelving Library/Location.  This appears to be a defect--in the future you can report these to Support directly if you'd like.


    Regarding hiding libraries, you can scope your user roles to the relevant ordering library/libraries and it will only show libraries and locations that that ordering library has "Acquire For" relationships with.  See: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/030Fulfillment/080Configuring_Fulfillment/020Fulfillment_Infrastructure/010Libraries

  14. Discounted Price in RIALTO

    Please show the actual price the library will pay (print items) in RIALTO. It is difficult to make purchasing decisions without knowing the cost.

  15. Hide vendor notes from selectors

    Remove the ability for selector roles to be able to add vendor notes, as this can delay orders and notes tend to be added by approvers.

  17. Add a button/method to have Rialto follow-up on an existing order without having to submit a case with support.

    Primarily thinking of items that have not been filled after a reasonable amount of time and do not have any updates (i.e. claimed from publisher, not yet published, not yet activated, etc) if there was a button to ask Rialto to provide a status update, this would be great.

  18. Add filters to order history to allow sorting by order status such as not yet published/backordered, claimed from publisher, etc.

    I'd like a quick way to sort orders by order status without having to open each one. A filter for not yet published/backordered and another for claimed from publisher would be a great start. Also adding some sort of notification or filter for items that have had a change in publication date (i.e. originally due in December, new date is May)
