Idea Exchange: On certain pages, you can now select the list size displayed in Alma: 20, 50, or 100. Note that a larger list size might result in slowness when loading the page.

This feature appears when viewing:

• Users on the Find and Manage Users page
• Invoice lines on the Invoice Details tab when managing an invoice
• Physical items on the Active Hold Shelf Items page
• Citations on the Edit Citations page

You can now limit operators with certain user roles from accessing other users' information by blocking the operators' ability to search for patron information. When this function is enabled, the standard user search field is replaced by a text entry field. This means that the ID can still be entered or scanned in, but the auto complete function on the name, the Find and Manage Users pickup list, and the recent searches button are hidden. Operators with the following roles can be restricted:

• Circulation Desk roles - Manager, Operator, and Operator - Limited
• Fulfillment Services roles - Manager and Operator
• Requests Operator

During the Alma implementation phase, you are required to complete an ILS Migration Form if you are migrating records from a legacy ILS to Alma. You can validate whether your form is missing or contains incomplete information on the Validate ILS Migration Form page (Configuration Menu > General > General Configuration > Validate ILS Migration Form). See Validating the ILS Migration Form.

• Idea Exchange: If a user tries to log in with a login link sent by email, but the user is blocked or otherwise not permitted to log in, the user will see a message to this effect after trying to log in using the link. See Primo Login Using Email.
• In the configuration menu, the Back to Alma link now appears in the color scheme selected for the institution. In addition, the type of environment now appears as a page subtitle beneath the Alma Configuration title.
