Ex Libris Documentation

Harvard Alma working groups have summarized key updates below. See the Ex Libris monthly notes for complete details:

General

It is now possible to add a Custom link to LMS help URL (Configuration > General > External Systems > Integration Profiles > Integration Type: LTI Tool > Actions tab) to direct users to a specified link for help using a link to a section or item in the LMS. When the Custom link to LMS help URL field is blank (default), users are directed to the Ex Libris Leganto help. For more information, see LTI.
Based on customer feedback, it is now possible to manage collaborators from the Edit list page. Previously, it was only possible from the Manage list page.
Based on customer feedback, the tooltips that appear on hover were adjusted to appear and disappear more quickly as the mouse moves across the page.
When deleting sections or adding/removing section tags in bulk, these events are now included in the Notifications list.
Analytics: The Link to PDF field was added to the Citations dimension of the Leganto Student Usage and Leganto Instructor Usage Events subject areas and the Reading List Citations dimension of the Course Reserves and Purchase requests subject areas. It displays the URL of the PDF of the citation.

(NERS 8338): The Change Physical items information job can now be set to remove the Transit For Reshelving status from items. This makes it easy to correct the status of items that are incorrectly marked as in transit.
