Add OCR status of digitisations to the Advanced MIS data

It would be really useful to be able to run a report on digitisation requests where the PDF has not been OCRd. That information doesn't currently exist in Advanced MIS, but Consulting can run a custom report to generate a report.

Ebook cover images

We find the book cover images useful for new users in making the lists more attractive to the eye. These work fine when we are including physical books on the list, but as we are increasingly moving to an e-first policy the ISBN no longer has a co...

Report on deleted lists using Advanced MIS

Advanced MIS is supposed to enable us to report on anything and everything to do with Talis Aspire: items, lists, hierarchy, rollovers, and users, plus staff and end user interactions with the whole system. It seems a bit odd then that we're unabl...

Allow Systems Administrators to be able to un-archive single lists

We bulk archive lists every year, we do so based on the previous academic year at the start of the current academic year to avoid confusion for students and academics. However, occasionally academics come back and want that list to be active again...

Allow recently deleted lists to be retrieved in order to prevent permanent accidental deletions.

When culling reading lists, especially when deciding between two that have been created with the same/similar names, it is easy to delete the wrong one. It would be helpful to have a retrieval feature in which recently deleted lists could be resto...

Short URLs for sharing reading lists

At the moment Talis RL links are very long strings of alphanumerics. A shortened version to share more elegantly would look very nice. E.g. rl.talis.com/Institution/PSYC101 rather than https://rl.talis.com/3/institution/lists/AB01234C-0A2B-3C4D-DD...

'View as a list owner' functionality

Often, when we are introducing new academic staff to Talis Aspire or running refresher sessions for list owners just before the start of a semester, our colleagues point out that the menus they see in the system are not the same as those on screen...

Add a 'Report broken link/Status' button beside resources that shows when a link has been reported and fixed

While there is a 'Report broken link' button located in the action menu, it would be more obvious and useful if there was a 'report/status' button to the right of the 'three dots menu button'. This button should turn red when any student has repor...

option to change author to editor field without having to re-enter the information

Book editors are sometimes entered as authors so it would be great if you could somehow switch them to the editor without deleting the author and re-entering the information into an editor field. this would save time if there were a lot of correct...

Add 'Selected Pages' as a 'Resource Type' in reading list and change Page fields for 'From-To' to just 'Pages'ages

Currently the 'Resource type' in the metadata of a resource on a reading list has chapter, article, document etc. There are many times when a list owner requests selected random pages that are not a whole chapter and it is difficult to show that. ...
