(URM-313864) Electronic Collection Pending Deletion Reason and Alternative Collections CS ID Fields Now Available in Analytics.

January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-313864

Two new fields, Electronic Collection Pending Deletion Reason and Alternative Collections CZ ID, are now available in the E-Inventory Subject Area, specifically in the Electronic Collection and Portfolio Details for Consortia Members/Electronic Collection folders. Additional information about collections pending deletion in the Community is now available in analytics, making it accessible even after the pending deletion collection has been deleted in Alma.

(URM-315114) Electronic Resource Network Data Accessible in a Single Location

January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-315114

All electronic resource Network fields are now available in a single location within the Portfolio Details for Consortia Members folder. Users can easily access all Network-related information in a single place, providing a clear and organized view.

For more information, see Portfolio Details for Consortia Members.

(URM-253136) Rapido Manual Request Field Available

January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-253136

A new field Rapido Manual Request has been added to the Rapido Attributes folder in the Lending Request (Resource Sharing) and Borrowing Request (Resource Sharing) Subject Areas. This field measures when staff manually select to send the request to a Rapido partner and have the Rapido pod terms applied. Libraries may value the option to measure the frequency of this workflow overall, the frequency with particular partners, or evaluate the proportion of these requests in the context of mediated versus unmediated requesting with the Rapido pod partners.

For more information, see Borrowing Requests (Resource Sharing) and Lending Requests (Resource Sharing).

(URM-247151) Improved Encryption Method Applied to the User ID Encryption Field

January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-247151

The encryption method for the User ID Encryption field (Analytics > Access Analytics > Create > Analysis > Fulfillment > Loan Details) has been strengthened to provide enhanced data protection. The existing reports using a specific value as a filter may need to be reviewed and updated to ensure they continue to function as expected.

Additional Enhancement

No resolved issues match your criteria.
