Selection Plan Slips Newest Edition Ranking Standard Analytics with Data Visualization Record Matching in Cart	Selection Plan Match Reason Display New Editions for Held Titles in Selection Plan Badge Linking to Source

Q1 2024 Enhancements

Selection Plan Slips

What's new	Highlights	Impact
Ability to support title alert creation as part of a selection plan.	Ability to send matches to a title alert embedded within a selection plan (i.e. slip), as option "selection plan slip." Allows for a single review source. Librarians can consolidate results from multiple rules and selection plans into one selection plan slip to review. Selection plan slip results available to all shared users from the title alert page.	Libraries wanting a more traditional approach to Selection Plans (using an approvals and slips workflow) will be able to work with their Content & Workflow Strategy Consultant to support the process they are comfortable with.

Newest Edition Ranking

What's new	Highlights	Impact
New ranking value to surface most recent editions for works across the marketplace.	New ranking value "Newest Edition" allows users to prioritize the newest editions of volumes, series, etc., within their search and query results across Rialto.	Using the "Newest Edition" ranking, librarians can easily focus on the latest materials, without having to spend time refining their results by other facet values.

Standard Analytics with Data Visualization

What's new	Highlights	Impact
New default Rialto reports will be available for all libraries and included in the new analytics dashboards.	New out-of-the-box reports include: Orders placed (weekly and monthly) Current open orders Orders awaiting approval Performance times for Rialto platforms Additional reports are under consideration	Libraries who do not want to build their own analytic reports will have enhanced out-of-the-box defaults to fill out their baseline Rialto reporting needs in Alma Analytics.

Record Matching in Cart

What's new	Highlights	Impact
Prior to purchasing, approvers will be able to see if a new record will be created on checkout, or if it will match to a record already present in the IZ, CZ, or NZ.	Rialto will no longer be creating brief records when adding to the cart. Record match will display in the cart if one is found in the IZ, CZ, or NZ (based on customer settings). When no match is found, a portfolio for the new record will be created on checkout.	Libraries can proactively review matched records in the cart to ensure collection accuracy post checkout.

Q2 2024 Enhancements

Selection Plan Match Reason Display

What's new	Highlights	Impact
Ability to view the ranking determiner for offers on selection plan snapshots.	Within selection plan snapshots, the top two ranking determiners from the associated profile will display within the offer details, under a new section, "Rule and Ranking conditions".	Libraries utilizing selection plans will be able to identify the ranking values that caused one offer to be selected from the others within a work. Not only will this clarify why an offer was selected, but it can also help inform ranking profile refinements to produce more desirable results.

New Editions for Held Titles in Selection Plan

What's new	Highlights	Impact
Selection plans will now allow for the newest edition of an owned title to be acquired.	Option to include the newest edition for a held title within selection plans. Improved new editions matching for held titles within the query builder value "New Editions for Held Titles" that can be used all throughout Rialto. Titles retrieved by the "New Editions for Held Titles" value will have a unique icon.	Libraries that utilize selection plans will now be presented an option to include the newest editions for owned titles within their plan results. Previously, users who wanted to include the newest editions for held titles were required to set up a separate title alert to retrieve newer editions. This is no longer required, saving the library staff time now that they no longer need to create, maintain, and review results for two profiles.

Badge Linking to Source

What's new	Highlights	Impact
Offers with badges in Rialto will now provide a link to the offer’s source.	When a list badge is present on an offer the user has access to, a link will be present within the offer details to direct the user to that specific offer on the list. This behavior will also be present with the “In Your Cart” badge (directing the user to the offer in their cart), and the “Purchased in Rialto” badge (directing the user to the offer in the order history page).	When viewing an offer with an “In Your List” or “In Others’ Lists” badge, librarians will be able to click a new link in the offer details to quickly navigate to that list where the specific offer is included. From the list, they can use the browser back button to navigate directly back to the page they were previously on, reducing disruption to their workflow.
