The November 2025 release introduced deep linking within the app. However, this does not extend to product integrations such as the self-checkout Alma integration. https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/campusM/campusM_Release_Notes/2025/campusM_2025_Release_Notes?mon=202511BASE Use case: On the Library shelves, we have signage inviting students and staff to use the app to scan book barcodes for borrowing. At present, we can only provide a QR code with instructions for downloading the app, and then tell them to look for the relevant tile. Now that most of our students are aware of the app and already have it installed, it would be a much better experience for them to scan a QR code that opens the App at the relevant tile/PI, so they are ready to start scanning barcodes. This would save them the time of finding the app on their device, opening it, finding the relevant tile and opening the product integration. We could put the QR code on the end of every stack.
Optimise vertical banner space in Primo NDE - votes and comments welcome to improve #UX
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/50659181-optimise-vertical-banner-space-nde
Out of the box, the NDE Vertical banner wastes the bottom 1/2 to 1/3 of the screen space it is allocated. At the same time, the description text is truncated, requiring the user to hover (or hold on a small screen) to know the details. The lower part of the banner accommodates an image, which most institutions will likely use decorative images for, as it is not easy to determine which part of the image might be cropped/selected to display. It would be helpful for users to just be able to read a longer description, and this could be accommodated if the link button were relocated to display over the image when longer text is needed. Currently, the only workaround is to undertake a customisation. Essentially more space for text should be provided, by allowing the button to move further down the space in response to the length of text, AND, more text should display without truncation. Insitutions could then adjust the length of text and choose not to use an image at all if text display is critical for the use case. Mockup comparison attached.

#librarySystems #Leganto votes and comments welcome
There is a workflow issue for instructors starting from the detailed leganto notifications letter. Scenario: 1. Librarian suggests a new edition for a citation in Alma 2. Instructor receives the detailed notification letter with a link to the citation view for the existing citation that now has a suggestion 3. Instructor looks around and there is nowhere to do anything about the suggestion, although they might spot the new edition tag - it does nothing when they click on it 4. Instructor has to know that they must click on the section or list links at the top of page to be able to do anything with the suggestion Instructor should be able to review and action the suggestion from the full citation view. For institutions with force_PDf_viewer set to true the file viewer will open instead of the full citation view. This should be considered when working out the solution. Workaround: In detailed notifications letter consider removing the link for the citation and inserting a note that instructor can see suggestions from the link to the list instead.
Next week (Monday) I will be co-presenting with David Coupe (U of Newcastle, Australia) at the ANZREG conference on how we are using Trove API data to implement cultural sensitivity information in Alma and Primo VE.
