Harvard Alma Working Groups have summarized key changes below. A full list of changes for the release can be found in the official Ex Libris Release Notes:
General Enhancements
A reminder that the Alma sandbox will be refreshed with production data on February 9th. If you are currently testing in sandbox, please record information about your test scenarios locally so you can recreate them post-refresh.- Additional DARA Recommendations:
- Based on ISSN / ISBN matching, DARA now recommends local standalone portfolios for linking to the Community Zone. Linking to the Community Zone enables you to receive updates automatically without the need to update the portfolio manually.
- Based on the electronic collection name, DARA now recommends local electronic collections for linking to the Community Zone. Linking to the Community Zone enables you to receive updates automatically without the need to update manually.

Acquisitions/Finance
Enhancements
- Entering PO line number in Item Editor: When entering the PO line number in the Item Editor page, the number is now validated, even when typing the number instead of selecting it from the pick list.
Resolved
- In the In Process Items page, the Modified By column displayed the first operator that modified the record instead of the last operator. This was fixed.
- When changing the price in the invoice line page the Redistribute line did not happen automatically and required the user to click it. This was fixed and now redistribute lines will happen automatically when changing the price.
- Typo was corrected in the message displayed to user when adding a fund to a PO Line or Invoice line and there was an encumbered warning.
Course Reserves/Leganto
Enhancements

E-Resources
Enhancements
Resolved
- When selecting Acquisitions > Import > Load Usage data it took more than seven seconds for the page to load. This was fixed.
- Two portfolios connected to two different bibliographic records with the same ISBN / ISSN did not link properly to the Community Zone. This was fixed. The recommended workflow is to avoid creating bibliographic records with the same ISBN / ISSN.
- E activation link from advanced search did not work. This was fixed and works as expected now from both searches (simple & advanced)
