Add publication year limitation for Notifications

When setting up Notifications, especially for "All Titles" users receive titles with older pub years and there is no way to limit by pub year. Adding a pub year limitation to Notifications would keep older titles out.

Clearer DDA availability status

Library DDA general availability is often confused with local library's DDA program. Better clarification needed as to what the "Library DDA: yes" status means.

Calculate Est. Net total for selected items

In the Gobi platform, being able to see the net and list price totals of selected items would cut down on extra work to make sure funds are not over spent.

Gobi API Purchase Order creation for DDA autopurchases

Please enable the GOBI API to create purchase orders in Alma for auto-purchased DDA titles. This automation will allow for accurate tracking of DDA purchases in Alma and reduce manual work/errors in POL creation

No duplicate invoice numbers used

While there is an option to stop the use of duplicate invoice numbers it is not great and not really for international customers. Would be very beneficial to not receive an invoice with a number previously used for our institution.

Notifications for "currently unavailable" titles

When a title is currently "unavailable in your country" it would be wonderful to be able to create an alert if the title/format does become available to order.

Manage Library Folders: Show column

Make the "No" in the Show column for managing folders something other than grey, ideally blue and underlined so it appears to be clickable to users.

Accessibility metadata for selecting: Features books have for readers with print disabilities

I would like to see the accessibility features of the book that is being considered for purchase. For example, is the publisher Global Certified Accessible through Benetech? Does the book have headers? Is it a correctly tagged EPUB?
