Return to the item after editing its metadata, not the top of the list

Remove ‘short title’ being included in the meta data fields bookmarked from journals

Currently when bookmarking from a journal, Talis automatically includes the field 'Short title' under the 'part of journal' section. As the full title of the journal displays there is no need for a short title version. It is not considered relevan...

LTI to item level

In Desire2Learn (D2L) we can insert LTIs within HTML pages (Via the insert quick links button). It would be great to be able to LTI link to a specific item, which will then roll to the new version when unit sites and lists rollover. Reason: We hav...
