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.

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.

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.

Add fields to Market Search export
Current behavior: When you export a list of titles from a Market Search, the spreadsheet includes only three fields: title, author, and language.
Desired behavior: When you export a list of titles from a Market Search, the spreadsheet fields should include: title, author, publication year, publisher, binding, material, ISBN13, classification, license, and price.
This would match the behavior of exporting to Excel from 'My Lists' or 'My Feeds.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Move Reporting Codes/Processing information to Approval
Currently, the indication of reporting codes and book processing is all part of the order information for titles. For some libraries, this information is not made at the selector level but at the approver level.
It would be nice if we could toggle this as an option per instance.

Automatic interested users
Can we elect to have Rialto purchasers automatically inserted as interested users into an order? That way, anyone that orders an item in Rialto will automatically be notified when the item is available. Right now, I have to add them in prior to receiving the item.

Have the amount listed as "freight" on PDF invoices map to "shipping" by default instead of "overhead." This would be clearer for Analytics.

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.

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.

Add email functionality
Allow selectors to email records to colleagues or users to alert them to materials of potential interest.

Additional CDI Information at point of order
Please create an indicator / icon on what level the item is indexed within CDI when ordering. it would be useful to know if a provider is adding their chapter-level metadata to the CDI index and which ones are not. This would drive which platform we would purchase from.

Cart Templates--Approval search
Templates are searchable when ordering titles but they are not searchable once in the approval queue. For instances where a template would be useful and there are many templates to search through it would be great to be able to search the templates in the approval area as well.

Cart values on lists
We'd like to display cart values (Item policy, reporting codes, interested users, cart routing, shelf ready values, notes) on lists. Values applied in the cart would carry over to lists, and if applied in a list they'll carry over the the cart. This will save time when moving items back and forth from lists and carts.
