November 2024 Leganto URM-226783, URM-226784, URM-226785, URM-226786, URM-226787, URM-226788, URM-226789
The Leganto UI now provides a dedicated Library View which aims to support more efficient and customizable list processing and list review workflows. When accessing Leganto as a library staff member, the User Menu icon
now includes a library behind the user icon, indicating that the user is seeing functionality not available to instructors. Additionally, when hovering over the User Menu icon, Library view is now appended next to the user's name.
Library staff can now customize their User settings in the following ways:
- Set the preferred tab when opening an item in full view (default is Links & availability tab)
- Set the preferred tab when editing an item (default is Item details tab)
- View tags, notes, and due dates on the full view under the item summary, and visible from all tabs

- Display a Mark as done icon
on both item brief and full views.
The Mark as done icon can be used to track personal progress while reviewing reading lists. Marking an item as done crosses it off in the UI, enabling you to visually track your progress. It is also possible to filter a list by the Mark as done status. Students, instructors, and other library staff do not see that you have marked an item as done.
Additionally, an edit icon
is available on the brief view, providing library staff with one-click access to edit items. The edit icon is also available from the full view in Leganto standalone.
The course code is now displayed on the section and item stand-alone views of Leganto, ensuring that library staff who navigate directly to a citation from Alma can always view the course context. You can hover over the course code to see the course dates, number of participants, and other details.
Lastly, the Citation status can now be updated in bulk, providing the option to set the citation status to any out-of-the-box citation statuses or any custom status configured in the Additional Reading List Citation Statuses table (Fulfillment > Courses).
For more information, see Library View.
