Suggestion	Date discussed	Notes	To do
Change the message you get when you click on “Library Reserves” for a course which doesn’t have a list. Can this instead say that the course doesn’t have a list instead of “This link is no longer available”	9/26/24	There may be a way to mark as “no list expected”; need to verify that this message is the expected one in this case. Is this expected in student view? Labels can be changed: citation.noAccess section.noAccess What should it say instead? This course currently has no reserve list. If you have any questions, contact your instructor.	KY: Investigate options for courses with no list and verify that current behavior is expected. No list expected action: Needs to be toggled “on” in list Leganto message for courses with no list expected - November 2023 Reading lists can still be added to courses with the No list expected checkbox checked and existing lists are not removed. KY: changes are done Verify whether issue is resolved
Investigate a better use of tags. Ideas: Additional Public Tags: Awaiting patron recall Scanning in process On order Physical reserve Additional Internal Tags Follow-up (To identify items to come back to a later date. I currently uses the item status "inactive" to mark items that I need to come back to)	9/26/24	Get rid of current tags Enable other tags in production public tags visible to all internal tags: library staff only	KY to make production changes done Will add other tags as necessary
Make reused digitized books not automatically be marked complete in ALMA DRP item reps not active are showing up as complete after being added to list Students are unable to access because they are inactive All DRP items should not be marked as complete automatically after added to list It should be in Ready for Processing status https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Leganto_Administration_Guide/Configuring_Leganto_UI_Elements/Configuring_Automatic_Approval_of_Imported_Resources_in_Leganto	9/26/24		KY investigate options on digitized books Set citation_digital default to be Ready for Processing Should apply on rollover as well Confirm changes
(New UI): Writing in “private note” and thinking library can see it. In full item details, there is a private note field that is for instructor use only. Is there a way to change the language in this field to make it more obvious that the data in this field is not going to the library.		Confirm whether language changes are appropriate	KY: can we update field description Updated: Private note (visible only to you) Update doc to make it clear that this is not how to use these fields
(New UI): Putting book requests in description fields. In List descriptions and section descriptions Is there a way to change the field titles in Leganto to try to make it more clear Is there a way to limit characters			KY: investigate options for description field limiters Update user doc (possibly with screenshots) to disambiguate fields and discourage use of them Reach out to teaching staff at the end of the semester and remind them of best practices Reach out to teaching staff with link to best practice guide when this happens to correct behavior. Change description text for these fields. “Do not enter reserve requests in this field” instead. Done
(New UI): Complaint about the “Library Discussion” Send button disappearing. When using the library discussion feature, the send button is sometimes there and sometimes not. We can turn off library discussion if it’s not being used.		Example: https://hvd.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/nui/lists/102613436990003941 Confirm whether this is still an issue	KY: submit ticket regarding intermittent issues with send button. Is this still an issue? Unable to reproduce so it may be resolved. Ask reserves processors if we should turn this off We could add something to the help menu instead If this remains an issue, will follow-up
Public note - no notification so we don’t know if something important was added, like requesting a physical reserve. A tag system would be better. Citation item actions > note for students Teaching staff sometimes put notes in here for library staff		Is there a report that could be sent that would alert to presence of something in this field? Check analytics- physical item citations Investigate whether field label could be changed to include more direction.	KY: look into analytics reports for this field Saved a copy in shared folders Update recommended workflow doc to ask users to use tags instead for this information.
Receiving notification if a book with a work order on it goes missing. Work order cancel notification not being sent Reserves scanning workorder- staff are marking an item with a reserves scanning WO on it as missing, should send notification to person who placed work order.			KY to check settings and verify If you delete the work order you get the option to send the message. If you mark something missing, this message isn’t getting sent. People processing the pick-lists need to change workflow to cancel work order before marking book missing. I think this is resolved
(New UI) Useability enhancement: Improvement the contrast on Add+ menu and have New item menu collapsed by default to make it easier for users to see the expanded menu as being associated with New item. (Jeffrey Hamburger problem)
