Allow updating Controlled Vocabulary (Form) code tables for Alma Digital via API
Currently these tables (with codes beginning "FormCV.vocabulary") can be read via API, but attempting to update them throws a "Requested table is hidden" error. It would be useful to update these code tables automatically from upstream data, rather than requiring staff to import a spreadsheet periodically.

Add 2FA for Import profiles
Recent changes to our digital preservation system mean that two factor authentication is now required for API access to the system. This includes OAI Harvest tools.
At present there is no field in the Alma/Primo import profile template I can add the authentication key required to harvest data from our preservation system.
Is it possible to add such a field to the Alma import authentication template? This would benefit not only us, but others who have links to external systems which require two factor authentication.
Information about the change as it relates to us can be found in the following…

Digital Loans
It would really be helpful to have a tab or include borrowed digital books under patron loans so that its easy for them to renew or see what digital books they borrowed and need to return.
Currently there is no ability for a patron to see what digital books they may have borrowed and need to return.

Include T&Cs in the Patron Deposit Status Update Letter
Include the T&Cs that the patron agrees to in the XML for the deposit status update letter, and accommodate it in the stylesheet when the resource is submitted.
They would then have a copy of what they agreed to.
I understand we could customise the letter to include this, but I'm concerned that if the T&Cs change, then there is a risk that the letter is not updated at the same time.

Alma Digital Viewer - Enable/Disable "New Alma Viewer" for representations
Right now, you can only set rules for when a certain viewer (i.e. Alma Viewer and Universal Viewer) is displayed/not displayed. Specifically in our case, we have unchecked the "Use New Viewer" feature make things cleaner in our interface. However, overtime, another department may begin to use Alma Digital and may want to turn that feature back on (which is better suited for their resources).
For instance, if we begin to upload image files or digitized newspaper clippings, the New Viewer would work great -- but for other general content, it's not always the best option.It would be great…
