Import profiles for dublin core bib update
We can create a repository type import profile to update/remove fields of a set of MARC records or POLs but cannot for DC records. It would be great if we can match and update dublin core bibs by importing an xlsx or xml file.

Thumbnail selection job for collection lobby
Alma can create a thumbnail for digital files but it can't do it for collections. It is not efficient to select or upload each thumbnail manually for many collections. It would be helpful if there is a job that Alma selects the first or any random image from the files in the collections and show it as the thumbnail of the collection on Primo.

Create or modify XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of digital assets in batch
The owner or copyright statement in the XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of a digital object stored in Alma can change. If this happens, you need to export the digital Objects like PDFs or images change the XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata and reimport the assets. By consequence, the docid changes and permalinks to these images are not valid anymore.
It would be useful, if Alma could create or modify XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of digital assets stored in the AWS cloud in bulk.2 votesHello All,

Enhance reporting for digital import profiles to harvest remote repositories
Currently the report generated after a digital import profile to harvest metadata from a remote repository has run is extremely minimal. It just states that a job "completed with errors", see attached file.
I'd like to recommend 3 enhancements. The first is to provide more information about the errors. For example, the harvest failed because the records listed below are invalid. The second recommendation is to provide a maximum error threshold like what is currently available in Primo. Lastly, integrate an option to strip any HTML and escape invalid characters as part of an import profile normalization process.
These enhancements…

Add multiple Terms and Conditions for different deposit forms
Add multiple Terms and Conditions for different deposit forms.
We're using patron deposit forms for different material types (syllabi, theses, archival materials). There's only one "file" under Config > Resources > Deposit > Terms and Conditions
All we can do is edit a single "terms and conditions file" for all deposits. Documentation is found at the link below and seems to allude to multiple files, but support says there's only one to customize.1 voteHello All,

Color inverted thumbnails from CYMK images
If you upload PDFs that contain images from the CMYK color model (used for printing) the generated thumbnail is colour inverted. Only images from the RGB color model are correct. Alma should generate correct thumbnails from both the RGB color model and the CMYK color model.

Los recursos digitales con dominio de la Institución
Los recursos que se gestionan con Alma digital deben verse en la web con el dominio de la Institución y no con el dominio de Alma. Esto ayuda al posicionamiento web institucional y al mejoramiento de las métricas que es el objetivo cuando se crea un Repositorio

Alma Digital - Search By Patron/Depositor
When using the Patron Deposit form in Alma Digital, the options to search the deposits do not include searching by the depositor's name. There is the option to search by patronID(not the primary ID, but rather a database ID), but this requires someone to lookup the patronID and is not efficient.
We would like to request searching by the depositor's name be added to Alma Digital.

Link from Digital Uploader to Job History
When I've loaded recorded and files via the digital uploader I generally want check that the import profile has run correctly. It would reduce the number of clicks needed to do this if there was a link to monitor jobs from the Digital Uploader page - especially when testing loads I'm having to repeat the action many times.

Thumbnail creation function for larger than 500mb video files
We need the function to create the item thumbnails of the larger than 500mb video files. Most of video type representations created by my institution are over 1~4GB in size but the thumbnails are not automatically created, so staff need to take a screenshot, resize, and manually upload it. High capacity videos are common in this era. Alma should set the capacity limit for related jobs higher, ideally to 5GB.

Digital Fulfillment (circulation and digital rights management)
As more and more of our content becomes digital and created in house, we need a way to circulate the items while maintaining control of how the item is used. For example, checking out a digital book to x users at a time (where x is the number of copies you are allowed to circulate), checking out for a set amount of time, enabling hold queues, preventing copying - all managed within our Alma/Primo system.
