Customizable Purchase Hierarchy
We would like the ability to customize our autopurchase hierarchy, because our preference of Access Model does not match the Purchase Hierarchy for Ebook Central
Also, we require the ability to exclude select Access Models so they are never purchased.

I am happy to announce that the Customizable Autopurchase Hierarchy feature is now available for libraries to enable in LibCentral allowing you more control over your DDA and Extended Access settings
You can find more information about how to configure the hierarchy in this Support Article: What is the Purchase Hierarchy for Ebook Central DDA and Extended Access Autopurchases?
Thank you all for your valuable feedback and insights that helped us deliver this feature.

I agree with the other comments here that this feature would be very useful to us and would ensure that users get access to resources more quickly and efficiently.

We would also like the ability to further customise the auto purchasing hierarchy of access models. In addition, we would want to be able to apply this customised hierarchy to the Upgrade process. In addition to the ability to choose the heirarchy of purchases, we'd also like the ability to choose based on cost. If a 1U has been purchased and the cost of the NL license is less than that of the 3U license, we'd like the system to upgrade us to NL with a trigger.

We'd like to be able to customise the hierarchy so that we always buy the most limited licence available, and use the automated upgrade function to purchase less restricted licences in response to user demand.

Our library would also like the ability to customize our autopurchase hierarchy.

This would be really helpful for us, we wish to exclude non-linear lending from our auto-upgrades and go straight to unlimited access.
