An error occurred while saving the comment Other example: Scan in Items, Set status
Many pull-down menus present options in alphabetic order. Even some menus that remember recent choices may present those, but the default is often the first option in the alphabetic list, regardless.

An error occurred while saving the comment We have already had numerous incidents of staff editing templates by accident. Email reminders of the process as it works in new MDE have not helped. This is clearly a flaw in the new MDE user interface. We have no way in Alma to recover the templates.

Clarification was provided regarding the functionality requested – which is not to delete portfolios but rather detaching portfolios from the collection and setting them as standalone portfolios.
Re-opening the idea.An error occurred while saving the comment The label "Already Supported" is false and needs to be removed please.
The Service editor needs the options to "Remove Selected" and to "Remove a Set" for portfolios, in order to make them standalone. There is already a function to "Move Set of Portfolios" if they are moving from one collection to another.
It seems to me that as elsewhere in Alma, there is too much dependence on specific use cases rather than making functionality consistent. This makes for a confusing user interface and a need for continual enhancement requests. Any function for adding, removing, or moving portfolios to and from collections should offer: 1) doing it manually one by one; 2) doing it for a selected group; and 3) doing it by using an Alma set. As well as the spreadsheet functions offered through the Portfolio loader.

An error occurred while saving the comment The NZ icon is now very low key and hard to notice. I would like to see the icon made more noticeable somehow. A different color would be helpful, but some people are color blind. Explore options based on usability testing (or the literature on user friendly icons, there is a lot out there).
Does everyone agree on the sort order for letters with umlauts? Just asking. My understanding is that there are 2 different variations in Germany (DIN 5007-1 ä = a; DIN 5007-2 ä = ae), the Austrians have yet another approach, and I honestly don't know what the Swiss think of it. Not to mention Sweden, where the letters with umlauts come after z, that is, Z Å Ä Ö. I would exercise a lot of care before implementing this as a solution for all call number indexing for all Alma customers worldwide.
