Support for Additional Processing Workflows + Parameter to Prevent New Items Auto-Send to Library + Publish and Send as Separate Options + Allow Configure RL Status When Adding a New Item

June 2024 Leganto URM-217082 URM-217083 URM-215782

The New UI now includes new parameters to support additional reading list processing workflows. If the current processing workflows are working well for you you probably do not need to make any changes. However, if you are struggling to replicate your classic UI processing workflows in the new UI, one or more of the following new configuration options may help you.

Some libraries report that when instructors are adding items to a list that is already published, they want instructors to finish making changes before sending the list to the library. Administrators can now control the status for items added to a published list. When the parameter auto_send_list_updates(Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Settings) is set to true, which is the default setting, as soon as a list is published, all items added after the list is published are automatically sent to the library, including items added after the list is published, and the items receive the Library Processing status. When auto_send_list_updates is set to false, items added after the list is published receive a Draft status, and the banner indicating that changes to the list have not been sent to the library is displayed at the top of the list.

Banner indicating that changes to the list have not been sent to the library displayed at the top of the list.

Additionally, some libraries report that they only review resource lists when the instructor specifically asks the library to do so. Previously, the new UI automatically sent all lists to the library. Now, libraries can provide instructors with the option to send a list for review or publish a list as two separate options. When the parameter instructor_publishing_options(Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Settings) is set to 4 and auto_send_list_updates is set to false, instructors have the option to either send the list for review, publish the list, or simultaneously send the list for review and publish the list.

Options to send the list for review or publish.

When instructor_publishing_options is set to 4 and auto_send_list_updates is set, the option to send the list for review is displayed even if all the items have been sent.

Regardless of the setting in auto_send_list_updates, when send_list is set to Yes, the option to send the list for review appears in the list menu even if all the items have been sent.

The send list to library action in the list menu.

Finally, some libraries report that because the list status automatically changes to Ready for Processing when new items are added to a published list, they are struggling to manage workflow queues, especially when using custom reading list statuses to track specific steps in their processing workflows. Now, when new items are added to a list that has already been sent to the library but has a status that is not Complete, the list status can be configured. The value for the list_new_citation_in_sent_list parameter (default Ready For Processing) (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Course Reserves Automatic Status) is applied to the list when new items are added to the list, the list has already been sent to the library, and the list status is not complete.

This development is in addition to the existing parameter list_new_citation_in_completed_list, which enables the library to set the status for a list which is in the complete status and is then sent to the library.
