Additional Enhancements

    A new Logo Alt Text field is now available under Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding. Enter the alternative text for the logo text in this field. The field supports codes from Customer Labels under Configuration > Leganto > General.

    • The left pane above the Lists and Favorites buttons

    The updated logo is displayed only for new customers and institutions using the default, out-of-the-box logo. URM-330265

Resolved Issues

SF number Description
10718900 URM-335644 The CMS Roles Mapping table did not correctly assign the instructor role when an LTI role name contained spaces. This was fixed so that CMS roles with spaces in their names are now correctly mapped and assigned as configured.
10754125 URM-335585 Even when institutions disabled the Edit Item action, instructors and other users could still see this option in the item menu and open the item for editing. This was fixed so that the Edit Item option is now correctly hidden when editing is disabled.
10728057 URM-334939 When only one list was associated with a course, selecting the All Reading Lists for this Course button displayed an error page. This was fixed so that the associated list is now displayed correctly even when it is the only list linked with the course.
08395120 URM-326567 Previously, the physical availability section was displayed for titles that were suppressed from publishing, and an error appeared when the availability could not be retrieved. This was fixed so that physical availability is no longer displayed for suppressed titles.
08376986 URM-325734 When the australian-guide-to-legal-citation style was selected, Quick Cite did not display all sources. This was fixed so that all sources are now displayed correctly regardless of the selected style.
