Change 'Edit list details' to 'Edit list privacy' only

Only system administrators/library staff should be able to change list settings such as the time periods, titles, and licences. We find the description box is rarely used. Academics tend to change the time periods to 'rollover' their list, without...

Enable adding a resource while the list is filtered

It would be very useful to be able to add resources and edit the list while terms are entered in the search bar or other filters are applied. This would reduce workload by removing the need to first filter the list to determine which section to ad...

It would be very helpful to be able to add a comment when we assign lists to colleagues for review, if the comment is a general one for the whole list e.g. all chapter pages need updating to the new editions etc. This saves us marking every item f...
