"Refresh all book metadata" option to catch bulk changes to e.g. ebook URLs
We have recently applied a change to all our ebook URLs on our catalogue.
I would like Talis to add an option to refresh all my book metadata, by re-polling our catalogue for every book item in Aspire with a Local Control Number, updating any fields which have changed.
Without this, I have to identify and manually update all ebook records to update the URLs.

Customisable Text in Role Invite
Rather than be stuck with the set text provided out of the box, it would be good if each site could customize the text and language they would like to use when sending out the Role Invitation email.

Ideas may be graduated from the backlog as we get through the ones that are planned.

Change 'review complete' notification recipient
Many of our lists are added and sent for review by library staff or temps. When we complete the review the notification goes back to them rather than the relevant academic even when the correct list owner has been assigned. It would be useful if there was an option for staff to alter the recipient at this stage by pasting in the correct email address.

Customisation of the submit for publishing dialogue box
when submitting a list for publication we would like to customise this message box (see attached) to prompt the list creator to submit the list for review. We would like both to be able to customise the text and for there to be a box to click through to review.
5 votesWe do intend to investigate the introduction of a dictionary tool which would enable configuration of local messages. This will be reviewed and prioritised following the completion of the Db re-architecture but is not a current priority

Making Aspire content searchable/discoverable in Resource Discovery Tools.
We would like to be able to search Aspire via a Resource Discovery Tool. As we are trying to simplify searching for resources as easy as possible, it makes sense for Aspire to be included in the targets the tool can search.

Adding a favicon
When we go to our tenancy of Aspire, there is no favicon, however it should be using our Brunel University one.
Adding this should either be included in implementation, or should be added to the branding console (though it's not the sort of thing you want to change often, more like the main institution logo).
2 voteswe’ll pick this up when we do some UI improvements.

Selecting permission levels when inviting list publishers
One of our lecturers is keen to use her list collaboratively with students and staff but is reluctant to invite all the students as list publishers, because they would be given all the permissions. She would just want them to add resources to the list to share. Could a checkbox be added to the list of permissions so a list owner could select which permissions to assign?
1 votePermissions are tied to roles, so I’m not sure we would expose the permissions. However, it is a good idea to allow the list owner to determine the capabilities given to people they invite to share their list e.g.providing the option to invite publishers or invite list creator (where that role is configured with the correct permissions). This is on the Backlog for now as we would like to look at this, but at a later date
