SERUG,
At FLVC we use our 100 votes for Alma by selecting 4 to 5 enhancements, or 20 to 25 points each, so that the weight of the vote is not diluted. We also a try to choose one enhancement in different functional areas.
We then send our vote suggestions for both Alma & Primo to libraries at our member institutions so that those who are ELUNA members can add their vote for any of our suggested ones, if they desire.
I thought I'd share our votes, see below, for Alma and Primo with you. If you agree with any, maybe with our combined votes we can help get one or more to selection.
The deadline for voting is Wednesday, April 9th.
Alma
Number
System Area
Title and Description
AENH-I-36462
Administration
Build a User Role in Alma - Currently, the roles created in Alma are limited, which means a library has limited options as to what they can give staff. Libraries should have the opportunity to create their own user roles for staff in Alma and use the privilege report to only allow users to be able to do the specific tasks they need.
AENH-I-36393
Acquisitions
Overview of Order Templates - Editing order templates is cumbersome. It should have the same functionality as PO Lines. Order templates could be listed with an easy overview of their features. They could even be bulk edited and deleted.
AENH-I-36355
Resource Management
Add Find and Replace to MD Editor - The MD Editor should have a Find and Replace feature. This would be useful when editing simple corrections within one or two bib records.
AENH-I-36364
Analytics
Align the Physical Item ID heading in Analytics and Manage Sets - The heading for "Physical Item ID" in Analytics should be recognized as a valid heading when creating sets in Alma.
AENH-I-36338
Fulfillment
Add More Flexibility for Request Terms of Use Pickup Locations - There should be more flexibility when configuring pickup locations for requests in a request terms of use.
Primo
Number
Description
PENH-I-28389
Increase the number of possible local search/facet fields to at least 20
PENH-I-36385

[cid:e0ea34e8-d9e8-467e-9a47-1a4d3649e236]Good Morning SERUG,
During an FLVC meeting there was a question about whether, in Quick Cataloging, it's possible to modify the default setting in Placement of new record, to Institution instead of Network, see image below.
We weren't able to find any setting that controls this, but there is a Idea Exchange about it that was posted in 2018. It only got 15 votes.
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/35826790-cre…
If this is of interest to you, please consider voting for it, maybe we can resurrect it. In terms of the programming work to make this happen, it seems like it would be an easy one.
