The record (Deposit and Staff-mediated Deposit) can only be saved if at least one image, video, or MP4 file is uploaded.
Your assistance in implementing this idea would be greatly appreciated, as students completing the form frequently forget to include images. Enforcing this requirement would help prevent such omissions. Thank you.

"The record (Deposit and Staff-mediated Deposit) can only be saved if at least one image, video, or MP4 file is uploaded.".
I kindly ask for your help in implementing this idea, because the students who will be filling out deposit need to remember to add their pictures (images, files).

View upload status in Alma Digital
I'm uploading large files to Alma Digital (by designating a folder path on AWS). Once I save the representation, I get a message that "The file upload is in progress and may take a few minutes." But there is no way to monitor the progress of the upload from within Alma. It would be very helpful to have some sort of status bar showing the progress of the upload in MB. Thanks.
Please add some way to view the status of an ongoing upload2 votes -
Report of Draft Deposits in Alma Digital
The 'Delete Draft Deposits' job can be run to delete draft deposits, those never submitted older than a predefined number of days. There is no reporting mechanism in place in Alma or Analytics to provide a report of those candidates before performing the deletion. You basically run the job not knowing how many records it will affect. A reporting mechanism should be made amiable before performing the deletion, so the operator can understand the impacts of running the job.

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 "depositor" name to "approve deposits" and/or desposit search screen
We'd like to more easily see the name of the patron who submitted each deposit. It would be useful to see this information on the "approve deposits" screen, and also when you do a repository search for deposits. We mostly want to see this for patron deposits, though if it's relatively simple to add a submitter's name for staff-mediated deposits as well that's even better.

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.

Allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation form" in Alma
Allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation form" in Alma. For instance, an article may contain two or more authors. If you allow repeatable fields in "Add Representation Form", library staff can input additional contributors to the article.
