| Auto-generate Agreements via import | As an electronic resource librarian with a lot of agreements, I like to set up at least the initial agreement details AND attach resources to it. | 2020-12-03 | Khalilah Gambrell | 2/12 Meeting minutes |  | ||

| eholdings + Agreements integration | What Agreement features/functionality is not readily available to a customer using the eholdings app? | 2020-02-07 | Khalilah Gambrell | 2/26 Meeting minutes | | ||
| Tags/descriptive data at e-resource level | Ability to attach fine-grained information to any given agreement line / e-resource line to answer questions like: core title vs. non-core title, add statistical codes or subject codes. Collection of use cases. | 2020-02-11 | Felix Hemme, ZBW Benjamin Ahlborn SuUB | DONE | |||
| Alternate Names/Titles for Agreements | Ability to assign multiple names to an agreement record AND search on those names. (Example: Directory of Open Access Journals agreement should also have a field to record "DOAJ" as a searchable title.) We see this as being similar to what has already been done in Organizations. Edit Annika: Being able to search for alternate agreement names seems crucial to us, especially since there is no standard/normalized way of naming agreements. In our experience with our old system, there are alternative names for the majority of agreements and many of the colleagues use different forms actively. | 2020-02-18 | Jack Mulvaney (UMass + Five Colleges) +1 Annika Schröer, UB Leipzig +1 Felix Hemme, ZBW | | DONE | ||
| What additional eholdings + Agreement app integration capabilities do you expect? | 2020-02-26 | Khalilah Gambrell | work in progress | ||||
| Make agreement lines independent from connected resources | At the moment, agreement lines can only be created by linking a resource from either eHoldings or the internal KB. It would be very useful for several use cases to be able to create an agreement line without a connected e-resource. a. the person creating the agreement and linking the POL is not the one responsible for the content (different team, ...), b. the resource cannot be found at the moment and will be linked later on, c. link costs like service charges to the agreement, d. eHoldings users can then create the agreement and link POLs in one step without having to switch apps twice in the process... | 2020-03-04 | Annika Schröer, UB Leipzig | UXPROD-2440 - Getting issue details...

| Display of number of set terms (licenses) or supplementary properities (agreements) | Currently the number of set terms/properties does not display in the license/agreement view pane accordions. It would be desirable for users to see how properties are set | 2020-06-03 | ERM Subgroup | 2021-03-24 - ERM Subgroup meeting minutes | DONE | ||
| License Permissions: Restrict Downloads | Ability to allow some users to search/view license records without having the ability to download documents. Needed as a reasonable effort to protect confidentiality around pricing information which is included in the full text license documents. | 2020-06-18 | Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | 7/15 meeting minutes | DONE | ||
| Licenses: Filter by Organization Role | Ability to filter Licenses by Organization Role. At Duke, we've created some licenses linked to organizations where role = Consortium. We'd like to be able to filter on Organization Role = Consortium, but we first have to filter by a specific Organization and then filter by role within that set of results. Is there another way we could see a list of all licenses that are linked to any organization with a role = Consortium? | 2020-07-15 | Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | 7/29 meeting minutes | DONE | ||
| Duplicate Amendment | Duplicate license feature was added in Goldenrod and as we tested it we realized it would be very helpful to have a way to duplicate an amendment within an existing License (rather than duplicating the entire license record). This might be a more common use case for us at Duke - adding a new amendment year after year to the same license. |
| Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | UXPROD-2633 - Getting issue details... STATUS | DONE | ||
| Allow Multiple Vendors per agreement | Similar to Duke's circumstances where there might be more than 1 licensor for a license, we have found a need for multiple vendors. PCA agreements might include content purchases from a vendor direct alongside a subscription agent. A general agreement for Wiley eBooks might have a vendor of GOBI/YBP as well as Wiley. (We recognize that this has implications on the vendor UI feature at the top of the agreement. | 2020-09-30 | Jack M. (UMass / Five Colleges) | DONE | |||
| Add filtering by Tags to Agreements / E-resources | Currently it is possible to filter agreement records by tags:
For some workflows at ZBW it would be useful to also filter e-resources by tags. Is it possible to introduce the tag filter also in the e-resource screen? | 2020-11-09 | Felix, ZBW | ERM-1544 - Getting issue details... STATUS | DONE | ||
| Current agreement period data | When looking at a Folio agreement in detail view some data is displayed at the top of the record (period start, period end). Below the agreement name heading the cancellation deadline and agreement period note is displayed. This is data from the agreement period(s). When the end date of an agreement period is in the past (has expired) AND there is no subsequent agreement period, the start and end dates will still display at the top of the record. The cancellation deadline and the agreement period note will only display in the "other periods" accordion. What do other folks thing about this behaviour? I think that the period note can contain important information that the staff needs to see at a glance even if its end date is in the past and there is no subsequent period. Therefore I propose to display the period note of the last period if there is no subsequent period. By a comment of Owen, however, I was made aware that this could lead to inconsistencies
If there is a subsequent agreement period the period start date from the first period and the period end date from the latest agreement period will display. In addition, the cancellation deadline and the agreement period note from the current period are displayed below the agreement name. I think that is absolutely fine and should not be changed.

| Agreement: Organization Role Values | The values for SubscriptionAgreementOrg.role aren't configurable by tenant, so we'd like to request that the community consider adding the value"Consortium", or perhaps make this list configurable. | 2020-11-24 | Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | 01/13/2021 meeting notes | DONE | ||
| Duplicate Licenses including connected Amendments | Ability to duplicate licenses including their connected amendments Use case: a library creates a license record for the general license contract and adds amendments for the resource-specific appendixes. If a few years later there is a new general license with resource-specific amendments, the library wants to be able to duplicate all existing records |

| Agreement Lines: Count column for titles versus packages | When titles from the EKB are attached as Agreement Lines their count in the AGL Accordions Multi Column List is always displayed as "1" regardless of selection status. This is the opposite of when a package is connected as an AGL - the count displays as however many titles are selected out of all possible titles in the package. This has led to some confusion over whether or not EKB titles attached as AGLs are selected or not when looking at the Agreements Accordion. The only way to tell is to click into each title AGL and view the placard of eHoldings data. It would be helpful for titles and packages to display their count in the same/or similar ways. | jmulvaney@library.umass.edu | 2021-10-06: OS to write story for displaying 0/1 or 1/1 for individual titles from eHoldings depending on selection status

| ERM comparisons: Freeze table heading | Lists in ERM comparisons can become quite long, depending on the types of records that got compared.

| Organizations | Date stamps | We would be interested in seeing automatic date stamps added to the username and password fields and/or the notes field within the interface add-on (that's a part of ERM Organizations). I believe this notes field is separate from the notes add-on that appears in eHoldings and Agreements. Because the interfaces include log-in information that frequently changes, it would be useful if we could know the last time someone used that particular interface and log-in credentials to access a site. | 2020-10-01 | Emma R.

| ERM Comparisons | ERM comparisons: Make Comparison points hyperlinks | In ERM comparisons, the user can select packages or agreements and compare them against each other. It would be convinient if the entries in the accordion "Comparison points" would be links back to the records in the Agreements app. |

| Agreements | Additional Relationship types needed to optimally make use of the Related Agreements section | In Agreements in the Related Agreements section more different types need to be added and then offered in the dropdown for "Linked agreement's relationship to the agreement being edited". The functionality (automatic bi-way linking) is super cool! but so far the relationship type options are too limited. In the example test-type agreements I talked about in the RM SIG on 2020-02-28, I would have liked to have been able to select 'backfile to'/'backfile of' or 'AAF to'/'Buy In Purchase of' or some such wording etc. I am sure there are other needed relationship types ... | 2020-02-28 | Sara Colglazier.

| Licenses | License Term status | It could be helpful to have a License term status in the Settings for Licenses → License terms Use case: For several years a library uses one license term for several licenses. At some point, this license term will no longer be used, and the library does not want to display it on new license records. Still, it should stay in the historical and existing licenses. |

| Notes | Add table to Notes helper app / notes details | I should have mentioned this in our meeting yesterday, but forgot it. It would be helpful if one could also create tables in the "Details" section of the Notes app to store information like:
This is a screenshot from our internal Wiki. The information is suitable to be maintained in the ERM system. It's about the creation of analytic records in our catalogue. | 2020-06-04 | Felix, ZBW | FORWARDED Forwarded to AI | ||
| Notes Helper App | Notes Behavior | We're using notes tentatively on Licenses in our Production instance and find them to be slightly confusing. We would find it helpful to see an overview of Notes to confirm our understanding of notes behavior to ensure that we're using them optimally and perhaps other institutions could share examples of how they are using notes?
This is our understanding of notes characteristics - are these descriptions correct and is there documentation of this anywhere?

| Agreements | Agreements: Search needs to be refine-able (i.e., have a drop down menu like in other Apps for other more narrow, defined, specific fields) | With the addition of the Description field in what is searched by Search, it has become even clearer that certain targeted searching (not filtering) needs to be available like in other Apps. For example, see #12 above: be able to search on POL (granted this may be more difficult because the POL is part of the AGL), but otherwise, for example: just Name left-anchored/starts with, just Name keyword, just Name and Alternative Names keyword. | 2021-01-14 | Sara Colglazier (MHC), Jack M.

| Licenses | Build License Relationships | Ability to build relationships among license records would be helpful. For example, to be able to point to a past license that is superceeded by a new one. We're thinking through our workflows for managing licenses over time and find that we're using the status field to indicate that the original license is expired and notes to explain which license to look to for current coverage and it would help to be able to point directly to the record (and vice versa) | Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | 9/30/2020 meeting minutes | FORWARDED to ERM dev and resourcing team needs prioritization there NEEDED: careful management | ||

| Licenses | Licenses: Filter by Independent/Professional School Library | This topic was touched on during the 2020.07.29 ERM Subgroup meeting . It seems that several institutions share the need to distinguish license records based on internal libraries such as main library, medical school library, law library, business school library since each of those entities may manage independent license agreements. At Duke, we decided to use the License Type for this, so we used Settings to create a value to represent each library.
An alternative approach would have been to create an organization record for each of our libraries and assign them to the license with a role = 'Licensee', but we wanted the easier filtering offered by License Type (if we use Organization we have to click the Org filter box to find "Law Library"), we preferred not to create an Organization to represent our libraries, and didn't see a clear need for the "License Type" field. Owen asked during the 2020.07.29 meeting about the possibility of referencing 'Location' as setup in Settings/Tenant/Location; however, that wouldn't be helpful in Duke's case and could be problematic for other institutions as well depending on how they plan to structure loan rules. The Settings/Tenant/Location setup at Duke will likely have a hierarchy like this (not final yet, though) which was designed for loan rules: Institution = 'Duke' Campus = 'Professional School' Library = 'Ford', 'Medical', 'Law', 'Divinity' Another branch of the tree would represent our main library (DUL) which has several sublibraries, but they don't manage independent license agreements Institution = 'Duke' Campus = 'DUL' Library = 'LSC', 'BES', 'Perkins', 'Music', 'Marine', 'Lilly', 'Rubenstein', and so on. So, if this structure were hooked into Licenses/agreements we couldn't just point to the Campus (since we'd only be able to differentiate between 'DUL' and "Professional School" ) and we couldn't use Library since it breaks out 20 different values for DUL. How are other institutions thinking about handling this use case? Thanks! | 2020-08-04 | Virginia Martin and Julie Brannon, Duke | 9/2 meeting minutes | DONE resolved by using type | |
| Agreements | E-resources: Change the display behavior when a title is no longer available in a package | When a PCI has an accessEnd date that is in the past it is still displayed in the "Option for acquiring" view from the titleInstance. We'd like to propose to change this: If a PCI has an accessEnd date that is in the past it should not be listed in the "Option for acquiring" MCL (1) OR it should be indicated that this title has left the package / the access period has ended. (1) I know that this makes it difficult to access the PCI in the UI. However, the display in the MCL leads to the assumption that the title is included in this package, although access is no longer possible. Example from gokb.org: PCI:

| Agreements | Automatic loading of results in e-resource search pane | When a user is in the Agreements app and navigates to the tab "E-resources" the first 100 e-resources are loaded and displayed. When you navigate to the e-resources tab it will take a few seconds until the first records have been fetched. Until then, the text "... Loading" is displayed and could potentially distract the user. I have received feedback from users that they always scan the results first. But of course the list offers no added value in most cases, because the records are displayed sorted by title 0-9, A-Z. I would suggest to not display any results until the user has performed a search or filter operation. They will display the text "Choose a filter or enter a search query to show results."
