Display fund amount in cart and error message if insufficient funds
Currently, selectors are able to submit orders for approval while using funds with insufficient funds (regardless of the overencumbrance being set to yes, no, or limitless). The selector will not see an error message saying that the funds are insufficient for the title.
We would like an option for the available funds to be made visible for the approver when they select the fund, with an error message being triggered upon checkout. Alternatively, it shouldn't be possible to send for approval with an insufficient fund

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.

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.

Improved list functionality
We don't have selectors, but do have several librarians that send us curated recommendations for purchase. Because of this, we use lists to share items recommended for purchase instead of carts. As our list of lists grows, it would be helpful to be able to organize lists into folders to keep them better organized. It would also be helpful to be notified of updates to shared lists. Updates any time an item was added would be cumbersome, so the optimal solution would be to add a "send list" button that would alert a chosen Rialto user that a shared list…

Override call number in Analytics
We would like the "override call number" to be a value in Analytics so that we can report on any order that has been submitted with an override call number.

adding interested users & location notes when adding to lists
When compiling patron-recommended books in a list for future ordering, we need to be able to add the patrons as interested users, as well as noting specific locations for some books. Currently we can add notes, but in order to do so, we have to put items in a list, then view the list, find the items, and add notes. The enhancement would streamline the process.

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)

Use email address to search interested user field
When adding an interested user to the cart, allow for searching by email address. This will better help distinguish users who may have a common, shared name.

Allow sharing or exporting of notifications
Currently, only orders that I have approved appear as a notification when Rialto cancels the order. It would be great to be able to share my notifications with another user or be able to export the list of notifications. This would allow other staff to easily work with orders in my notification list.

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?

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.

Title Alerts list functionality improvements
Use case: I have 30+ title alerts and need to add a parameter to each of them. When I go into an alert and edit it, clicking Save takes me back to the top of the list. Even when I'm on the second page.
Need: Save should take me back to the same place in the list where I left off. The last-clicked alert should be highlighted (as it is when I don't make a change and click Cancel).
Also, the list of title alerts should be exportable--just like every other list in Alma.

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.

Show requested format when viewing purchase suggestions in Market
When we view purchase requests and use the "search in market" feature, it would be great if we could see the requested format in the sidebar that has the other purchase request information. That is the most important information about the request and it's not viewable unless you edit the suggestion from the Purchase Requests page.

Edition info in holdings
Would be useful if the institution holdings information when searching marketplace displayed edition info (i.e. 2nd ed, 3rd ed...) - currently shows just date and ISBN. Might be easier to establish current stock at a quick glance.
