Main Features

Expanded/Collapsed Citation View for List Creators

July 2024 Leganto URM-213291 SF: 07126677 07121968 07054269 07042103 06925533 06903106

List owners can now choose to view Leganto items by Expanded view(new default view) or Compact view(previous view). The Expanded view expands the display of information to include more metadata for each item, as well as the full text of the note for students. The expanded view mirrors the student view, providing more metadata for each item. In both the expanded view and the compact view, the quick edit functionality opens when selecting the item title.

For both the Expanded and Compact view, the item status has been moved to the right and now includes an icon.

The Expanded view does not apply when viewing a section from a shared link. This will be added in a future release.

An item expanded view. Item compact view.

When toggling between Expanded view or Compact view, the selection only applies to the selected list. Users can change the default view from the Leganto Settingsclipboard_ee41a1d9549af6b005d21f94be15c3e32.png> User settings menu.

The Leganto user settings.

Support for Section Indentation

July 2024 Leganto URM-213252

As is available in the classic UI, new UI users can add an indent to sections. When the parameter section_indentation(Configuration > Leganto > UI > Section Menu) is set to Yes(default No), the Indent/Outdent section action is available in the section menu. When selecting Indent section, the selected section is indented one level. Select Section outdent from the section menu to remove the indentation.

Unlike in the classic UI, indentations in the new UI can only be applied to one level.

The indentation is only preserved in copied lists and rolled over lists. If an indented section is copied/moved to a new list or dragged on the current list, the copied/moved/dragged section is indented as well.

An example of an indented section.

For more information, see Indenting a Section.

Bulk Actions for Sections

July 2024 Leganto URM-206826

To enable a more efficient workflow, users can now apply actions to sections in bulk. When sections are collapsed, sections can be selected and the following actions can be applied in bulk:

  • Delete
  • Add/remove section tags
  • Add/remove section dates
  • Lock/Unlock sections - Locked sections cannot be deleted, have tags added/removed, have dates added/removed, cannot be moved.
  • Move sections
  • Copy sections to another list

The option to apply bulk section actions.

For more information, see Editing Sections in Bulk.

Additional Enhancements

  • July 2024 Leganto URM-217137 URM-217129 URM-217126 URM-217115 To better support accessibility, the following improvements were made:

    • Color contrast: Previously, there was not enough contrast between text and background in several places: the placeholder text on the digitization request form, the advanced search drop-down menus, the notifications drop-down menus, the add to section drop down menus and the Click to browse for a file link. All issues were fixed.
    • Headings: Previously, text was incorrectly marked as a header in the description and names of reference managers in the User settings - Reference managers page. Additionally, on the Manual entry, the Item details text was not marked as a header. All issues were fixed.
    • Color as information: Previously, color alone was used to convey information in some places: The "remove" icons on tags and the indication that a field is in a focused state on some form fields in the full view. All were fixed.
    • Descriptive labels: Previously, buttons had the same name but performed different actions in many places. Additionally, in the advanced library search, the programmatic labels and the visual labels did not convey consistent information. All were fixed.

  • July 2024 Leganto URM-218002 SF: 07086871 07115547 Formatted notes in the classic UI are now retained in the new UI.

    An example of a formatted note.

  • July 2024 Leganto URM-212841 URM-215967 URM-214347 Based on customer feedback:

    • Drop down lists with Ascending/Descending labels are now displayed as Ascending (A-Z) and Descending (Z-A).
    • When section is collapsed, the section details (section title, number of items, number of pages (if enabled), section dates, tags, and if locked, the lock icon) are now visible.
    • Previously, a proxy URL was displayed in Leganto when adding items from Primo VE. Now, a Get PDF link with a PDF icon is displayed rather than a URL.

      The link cannot be edited. If you need to update URLs from CDI in the future, run the Reading List Citation Update Task(Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Monitor Jobs) with the Update URLs from CDI checkbox enabled.

      This feature will be added to Analytics in a future release.

  • July 2024 Leganto URM-217559 The Leganto favicon has been updated for out-of-the-box settings. Settings will be preserved for customers who have uploaded their own favicon.

    The Leganto favicon.

  • July 2024 Leganto Following Google's announcement regarding restricting third party cookies (see here for details) we have updated the Cite it! plug for Google Chrome.

  • July 2024 Analytics and Insights URM-217598 The Citation MMS Id field was renamed to MMS Id in the Citations dimension of the Leganto Student Usage and Leganto Instructor Usage Events subject areas to be consistent with the field name in other subject areas.
