  1. Export profiles like Title Alert and Recommendation Feeds

    It would be great if we could export title alerts or recommendation feeds, even as PDFs. This could really help with our transition to other ordering platforms that will continue to support print book buying in the coming year.

  3. "Replace Offer" changes selector

    Our workflow is that the librarians put orders through to approval, and acquisitions staff then approves those orders. Sometimes they find an alternate "offer" that is lower priced or in stock (as opposed to shipping in 4 weeks, etc.) and use the "replace title" feature to change which offer they are approving. This replaces who the selector of record is to the staff member rather than the librarian that originally selected the title.

    Could this be fixed so that the original selector stays the "selector of record" throughout the process even in a different offer is selected? This will will…

  4. Allow multiple holdings on the same import job

    Multiple copies for the same title under different library locations processed on the same import job, fail to update bib correctly.

    When multiple bib records within the same import job for the same title are imported from the system, only the first record from the file is merged with the bib record, and all subsequent records (for other libraries or locations) are matched and skipped.

    Hello,

    This went out for testing as part of the April 2025 release. As is was for limited testing, it was not included in the release notes. If you would like for us to enable a parameter that will allow for multiple holdings on the same import job, and monitor your purchases, please contact Rialto support.

    Best,

  5. "Buy it Now" option in Selection Plan

    We received a request for purchase from a patron for an ebook which is in our current batch of selection plan titles in review so if we do nothing it will ship, which is fine.

    My question is on the Purchase title button. I had hoped that this would act as a Buy It Now option such that with a click, Rialto would deliver immediately, the selection plan profiled "copy" of the book.

    However, It seems that Purchase Title simply moves the order to the firm order workflow, thus requiring manual (or template) entry of the ordering library, fund, report…

    We added a "Buy it now" capability to Rialto this year, we're calling it "Finalize Snapshot." See the release notes below:

  6. interested user

    Currently I can only add up to five interested users in Rialto. If I have more than five interested users I have to go to the POL in Alma and add the additional interested users. I would like to be able to increase the number of interested users I can add in Rialto.

    We completed this work in July 2023. You should be able to add more than 5 interested users in the cart and orders awaiting approval. Templates would still limit to 5 interested users.

  7. 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.

  8. "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.

  9. Remember Configure DDA settings

    If possible, it would be good if a default settings could be remembered for the 'Configure DDA' (i.e. remember ordering library and fund code), so you don't have to keep configuring it if adding titles using the same library/fund.

  10. Viewing the pdf invoice in Rialto

    Previously in Oasis, we were able to download the pdf of the physical invoice that was sent. We would like to be able to click on a pdf link to download the pdf invoice from Rialto. It would be helpful in comparing the physical invoice to the invoice generated in Alma from Rialto.

  11. Alma suppressed titles - show as held by institution

    We'd like the ability to customize so that suppressed titles do not show as "in our institution". Right now, if you exclude titles from your institution, you don't get new editions in our feeds. So is there a way that new editions can be differentiated?

    This was completed with two releases. One, suppressed titles was fixed in January, 2023. See release notes: 

    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Rialto/Release_Notes/Release_Notes_2023/000Rialto_2023_Release_Notes?mon=202301BASE

    The second release was for New Editions for held titles, this came out prior to May, 2020 when we started publishing release notes. 

    If I am incorrect on this idea being completed, please let me know.

  12. 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.

  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. Out-of-Print book availability

    One of the more frustrating aspects currently when selectors order back titles is that the titles frequently end up unfulfilled. When ordered in a competitor's system these titles would have been sourced through a rather robust out-of-print network of vendors that ensured availability for these back titles (such as Alibris or Abebooks). It would be great to see such a service incorporated in Rialto so that these titles do not go from ordered>>back ordered>>backorder duration reached, order canceled.

    Hello,

    An Alibris integration was released to support ordering out of print books for Rialto customers based in the UK in February 2025. This will be supported until June 30, 2026.

    We are exploring other options for ordering out of print books for all customers in a future release.

    Best,

  15. 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.

  16. 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.
