Streamlined platform license activation
Rialto administrators should be able to request activation for new platforms from within Railto. This will streamline the process for setting up new platforms that we'd like to order from.

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.'

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

Display list owner name when viewing detailed information from the "In Other's List" tag
When looking at an item that is on another's list, one can hover over the tag to see the name of the list that the item is on. It would be helpful if the name of the owner of that list was also included in the information to facilitate communication about the title if necessary.

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.

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.

Separate finalizing stage from Purchase Request form page with confirmation message and link to create new request
Currently, the finalizing stage is completed on the same page as the rest of the form. However, I believe it would be more effective if the message of finalization appeared on a different, separate page, where the patron doesn't see the request fields. This separation would provide a clearer distinction between the completion of the form and the finalization process.
Additionally, I recommend adding a link in the finalizing stage page, that allows the user to create a new Purchase Request.
I believe these enhancements would improve the user experience and make the process more transparent and user-friendly.

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.
16 votesWe 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
