Main Features
Set Preferred Citation Link
When multiple links are available for a citation, users can now set which link should be listed first using the Set first action. When the parameter set_first_link (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to all (librarian and instructor), librarian, instructor (including course operator and collaborator), or true (all), the Set first action is displayed to the configured user type in the link action menu. When left blank or set to false (blank) the Set first action is not displayed. The default setting is all.
This action is not available in edit mode.
With the addition of the Set first action, the Hide link action is now accessible from the item actions menu.
When setting an item as first, the link moves to the top of a list with a pin icon indicating that the link is set as first.
Students do not see the pin indicator, but they do see the item first in the list.
When the parameter force_direct_uresolver (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to true, and multiple links are available, and a link is set as first, selecting View online from the brief view opens the link set as first.
If a YouTube link is set as first, the Watch link is prioritized before the View online in the brief view. If a Browzine link is set as first, the Browzine link is prioritized before the View online in the brief view.
Links cannot be both hidden and set first. When a link is set as first, if the Hide link action is applied to the link, the link is hidden and the Set first indicator is removed. A message is displayed informing the user that a hidden link cannot be set as first.
If the Set first action is applied to a hidden link, the link is no longer hidden, and the link is set as first. A message is displayed informing the user that the link is no longer hidden.
The indication for whether a citation has a link set first will be available in analytics in a future release.
Choose Which Citation Tags to Copy on Rollover (Bulk Rollover Only)
When the On rollover copy citation tags checkbox is checked, and Select tags is selected from the Course Loader Actions (Configuration > Leganto > LTI > Integration Profiles), tags to include can be selected from the dropdown list. When the job runs, only the selected tags are copied to the duplicated list.
This feature is currently only available for bulk rollover in Alma and will be available in the duplicate list flow in Leganto in a future release.
Clipboard Functionality When Copying/Moving Items
Users can now copy or move items to a specific place within the list or another list using a clipboard. The clipboard option is now available on the existing copy and move workflows, both when copying and moving individual items, and when copying and moving items in bulk. The clipboard acts as a place to temporarily store the items while they are being copied and until they are moved.
Moved items and copied items behave differently in the clipboard. As items are copied to the clipboard, the clipboard counter increases. As items are moved to the clipboard, the items change to a disabled state within the list, and the clipboard counter increases. The clipboard counter reflects the total number of items added to the clipboard during a session. Once the session ends, the clipboard clears, and the icon is no longer displayed. If the session ends before a moved item is moved to a new location, it is returned to the original position within the list when the session ends.
Items can be copied or moved to a list or to the favorites by expanding the item and selecting List and the list and section or selecting Favorites and Add & Edit or Add.
Items cannot be copied/moved to locked lists.
Items can be copied or moved to a specific place within the current list using the drag and drop functionality.
Items can be copied or moved to sections on the current list or removed from the clipboard in bulk by selecting the checkbox next to each item.
For more information, see Copying and Moving Items To/From the Clipboard.
