This is not currently in our near term development focus so it has been moved to the longer term backlog while we focus on items in the development focus.
Ideas may be graduated from the backlog as we get through the ones that are planned.

We have begun work on the anonymising of user profiles. If you have anyone that raises this under GDPR before this work is released then please do raise a support ticket with the details.

Being able to automate this would be really useful - we run it weekly and it doesn't seem like a particularly good use of a member of staff's time to have to log in and press buttons for a completely routine process, especially when that also involves making sure it is covered if that person is away etc.

Thank you for all the feedback relating to the sections and the difficulties around defining them. We will be making some changes to these to make them more distinct. We will update as these become available.

Here's a typical example...

Even worse, we get lots of accidentally-nested sections where because of the lack of contrast, lecturers don't realise that they've made Week 7 a subsection of Week 6 which is a subsection of Week 5 etc... all the way back to Week 1! Takes *forever* to unpick!

With the changes to the list edit screens we are keen to review this and make it possible to undo some actions within the list.

I think this would be particularly useful given the very limited colour contrast between sections and background in New List View/Edit (very subtle shades of grey) which means my academics are often not doing things to the level of the list that they think they are working in. It's very easy to fail to distinguish between deleting an item and deleting a whole section. An alternative would be to have different confirmation messages depending on what was being deleted, eg "Do you really want to delete this WHOLE SECTION and all the items within it from your list?"

The argument I can see against this would be that on a very long list, in particular, just relying on seeing the NEW flag against an item might make it too difficult to spot which were new items (we only check new items in review generally, not the whole list, particularly at peak times). Would this need to be combined with a filter which made it possible to select only NEW items to show on the Review screen?

Do you mean View Later Editions? If so, I can see what you mean but I have to be honest, we have largely stopped using this alert because it is so inaccurate. It goes off publication dates not edition statements, so picks up paperbacks, e-books, etc which are not new editions at all - the vast majority of the time when it says there's a newer edition there isn't, so we have pretty much given up on even checking it...

Very much agree with Catherine's comment of 30th January about the wording of the Unpublished Changes banner for those who have Force Review on. I hadn't noticed that, as I have Acquisitions role myself so don't see the same wording! Should definitely be changed as Catherine suggests, to make it clearer that the list will NOT be reviewed until the academic hits Publish.

Yes, agree, for the same reasons as highlighted by Alice. Our library staff also find the in-built search problematic because it turns off the blue editing bar. Example scenario: an academic has made such a mess of a bookmark that rather than editing their bookmark, it's quicker to navigate to the item anew (eg journal article) and re-bookmark it. However, you then need to know where in the list the academic's original bookmark is, so you can drop your replacement one next to it and then delete the dud one. Once you've used Search to locate the dud bookmark, you then can't add your new one as the blue Edit bar is gone. So have to revert to the four-step process outlined by Alice.

There are other reasons it would be useful to be able to include comments in the Review CSV. I've just finished reviewing a long list where I need to include feedback to the lecturer on nearly every item (eg "not in stock, insufficient funds currently to purchase this"), "more recent edition in Library", etc). If Review comments could be exported, I could have edited the CSV and used this as the basis of my feedback to her. As it is I shall have to do a lot of copying and pasting!

We will be enabling this as part of the New List Edit so that you can perform the same View and Export options as you can without needing to switch to the student view.

We've been told for years that the ability to set citation display styles in New List View was "coming" and our academics are desperate for it - would really like it bumped up the development queue!
