Managing User and Course Enrollment Information in Alma

December 2019 Alma
With the September 2019 release, we added the ability to import user and course enrollment information into Alma, which allows student to see all of their reading lists on the Lists page without having to enter Leganto using an LTI link for each reading list. With this enhancement, you can use Alma to view student enrollment information and to remove students from courses. 
To enable this functionality, the display_course_students field has been added to the Customer Parameters mapping table (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings). When set to true, you will be able to view enrollment information in the following tabs:
  • Students – This tab has been added to the Manage Course Information page (Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Courses) to allow you to view all students that are enrolled in a course and to delete specific students or all students from a course.

  • Courses – This tab has been added to the User Details page (Admin > User Management > Manage Users) to allow you to view all courses to which a student has enrolled and to delete specific courses or all courses to which a student has enrolled.

Add Duration Field for Video/Audio Citations

This enhancement allows you to specify the duration of recordings when adding citations for audio and video recordings in Leganto. To support this functionality, the Duration field has been added for the Audio Recording, CD, DVD, Music, and Video types in the Create Citation tab in Leganto Reading Lists:

Hiding Incomplete Citations

December 2019 Alma
Previously, Leganto displayed incomplete citations (which are citations that have not been marked Complete), but hid the following from students:
  • The option to download a file if one existed.

  • The links of the citation if the citation required a copyright.

With this enhancement, you can hide the entire citation if it has not been marked Complete.
To enable this functionality, you must set the hide_uncompleted_citations parameter to true in the Leganto Features mapping table (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Leganto > Leganto Features).
In the following example, Leganto will not display the highlighted citation to students since it has not been marked Complete:

To support the customization of the labels on the Login page, the following codes have been added to the UI Leganto Labels page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Leganto >  Labels):

Mapping Subfields from Primo Citations to Leganto

December 2019 Alma
This enhancement allows you to map information from a specific subfield in a PNX field and to utilize regular expressions to match information in the subfield. This may be useful when mapping thumbnail images from Primo citations so that they display in the Leganto Reading Lists.
To allow you to map a specific subfield of a PNX field from Primo to Leganto, the following columns were added to the Leganto Primo Mapping page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Leganto > Primo Mapping): 
  • Subfield – The subfield that contains the data that you want to map from Primo.

  • Regexp – A regular expression that describes the value for which you are matching. If the value does not match this regexp, the value will not be taken. For example, the following regexp matches any value that ends with jpg: .*.jpg

LGTO_LegantoPrimoMappingMT.png
Leganto Primo Mapping Page
For example:
If the PNX record for the citation contained the following image links, but you want to map the image that is stored in the $$U subfield (not the $$T subfield) to the Thumbnail URL field in Leganto:
<links>
     <thumbnail>$$Tgoogle_thumb</thumbnail>
     <thumbnail>$$Uhttps://media.boknett.no/objects/53/productimage_1234987.jpg</thumbnail>
</links>

Specify the following fields to create a mapping row on the Leganto Primo Mapping page

  • Leganto Field – originalThumbnail

  • Primo Section – links

  • Primo Field – thumbnail

  • Operation – concat

  • Subfield – U

If you were looking for a specific image format, you could have specified the Regexp field.

Reset Assignees during Rollover of Reading List

December 2019 Alma
During the rollover of a reading list for a course to another semester or year, this enhancement allows you to reset the staff member assigned to your reading list. To support this functionality, the On Rollover Copy Assignee option has been added to the Actions tab in the Course Loader integration profile (Configuration Menu > General > External Systems > Integration Profiles). If this new option is not selected, the assignee will not be rolled over to the new reading list.

    Adding citations with no fulltext from Primo Central allowed users to select a View online/Check availability link that returned no full text. This has been resolved with the addition of the disable_resolving_for_no_fulltext_citations parameter to the Leganto Customer Settings mapping table (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Leganto > Customer Settings), which allows the following settings:
    • true – The Disable Resolving option is set automatically in Alma when citations with no full text are added to a reading list from Primo Central. This hides the View online/Check availability link in the brief view and the links in the full view to prevent users from getting a no full text available message.

    • false – Displays the View online/Check availability link in the brief view and the links in the full view when any citation is added to the reading list from Primo Central. The administrators can set the Disable Resolving option later for each citation as needed. For more information, see Managing Citations in Alma.
