Entering new accounts
When entering new accounts in to LEAP, we enter the patron zip code and the city is automatically filled out. At Phoenix libraries, if the city is not Phoenix, we have to remember to change the patron code to Maricopa and the expiration date to only one year. Could these 2 fields also be automatically filled out by the zip code information. It would save a lot of jumping from the top of the registration form to the bottom and back...and could save mistakes when we have a LOT of outreach library card forms to enter.

Allow setting continuity pattern at the first level of enumeration
We have some serials that only have one level of enumeration, that resets annually (i.e. no. 1 is published in January and no. 12 is published in December and there is no volume number). It would be nice to have option to set the number of units and the continuity at this level.

Limit the number of active BBM requests a patron can have
Currently there is no mechanism to limit the number of active Borrower by Mail requests a patron can have. It would be beneficial for all libraries to be able to limit the number of active BBM requests a patron can have in Polaris.

Ability to Export Individual Owned Record Sets
I had a coworker ask why she couldn't export her record set into excel to allow for more sortability. I was surprised she couldn't and began looking at documentation and noticed that there is that ability, but you have to change the owner of the record set to the branch or system level, which feels like an unnecessary step. I should be able to export a record set I am working on to Excel with my regular ownership without having the (slim) possibility of a coworker accidentally accessing and messing up anything.

Add "Clear" bulk change option in Leap to match staff client functionality
In the staff client, I can bulk clear a value from a UDF drop down menu but, in Leap, I do not have a clear option.
See attachd screenshot.

A way to customize pop up notices
Various popups appear in Polaris via the client or Leap. Some are pretty clear in what the reminder or error message is about and some popups are not.
I am requesting a way to customize the text and title (Leap only has this visible) to make it more clear for our staff to understand either the popup reminder or the popup error with a little more explanation.
Example for Popup Reminder: Via the client we have a popup reminder about "reminder notices option is email. Do you want to continue?". This occurs when we leave the email field blank per…

Cancel Holds in Bulk Based on Item Circ Status
We’d like the ability to “bulk” cancel holds for items by status (lost, missing, withdrawn, etc.) either by being able to view the circulation status in the patron holds view, or by having the ability to “bulk” cancel holds from a record set.

Rephrase verbiage when not all items are unholdable
Please change the wording for the pop-up message when there are holdable and non-holdable items on the same bib record. It's confusing for staff, and makes them think that they have to figure out an alternate way to place a hold for their patron - when in reality, the hold can go through, and will be added to the appropriate library's picklist. (The example I saw from my staff was a bib record that had a single reference (non-holdable) item on it, and a number of other holdable/circulating items. The screenshot attached is the message staff received.)

Add Items to a Record set from Patron's Hold List
Cataloging staff use staff cards to request items in for call number changes or various projects. It would be helpful for them to be able to add those items into a Record Set for bulk changes directly from the patron record Hold list, in lieu of individually from the item records.

Automatically change items stuck in transit to missing
Some items get stuck in transit and are never found again, it would be nice if these could automatically transition to missing after a customizable period of time, similar to Lost -> Withdrawn and Missing -> Withdrawn.

Recall function
Create a recall function that is separate from the holds queue so Technical Services can get items back (for relabeling, for weeding, etc.). Technical Services often use internal cards to place holds on a specific barcode. This sometimes work, but has a few drawbacks:
1. The hold disrupts circulation (renewals, other holds, potentially in-transit)
2. If the item goes into a status that cannot fulfill holds (e.g. item becomes LOST), the holds will go back the queue and be reassigned to another item on the bib. Technical Services usually needs the specific barcode, not just any item on the bib.…

"Today" on Date Picker
When using the date picker, we'd love an option to select "Today" and have it set the date automatically for us. When updating really old cards, it can be a pain to have to select a date with the picker when we have to change every field. Typing is limited in its ability to be a workaround, because it requires specific formatting in order to work.

Leap add option to add fixed fields via bibliographic bulk change
Add the ability to add a 006 or 007 field to records via bibliographic bulk change in Leap. Leap has the ability to edit existing fixed fields via bulk change and the staff client offers the ability to add a new 006 or 007 via bulk change, so this would be part of bringing Leap into parity with the staff client. Bib records that come in from OCLC often lack the exact fixed field coding requires to display the correct Type of Material in Polaris so the ability to add missing fields via bulk change in Leap will make cataloging…

Provide a 'plain text' email option in PACREG application
Currently, there's no option in the PACREG application to allow patrons to choose to receive email notifications in plain text - but that option does exist in the new patron application on the staff side. Libraries using the PAC registration feature would like to have that included in the PACREG form.

Ability to have issue information appear in item record volume field instead of a designation field
Our consortium just transitioned from Sierra to Polaris. When our item records were brought over, volume information was included in the volume field of an item record. Because no serial holdings information transferred from Sierra to Polaris, we have been recreating our Serial Holdings Records. When we generate items from the SHR, the issue information (chronology and/or enumeration) appears in a separated designation field on the record, which makes the display look terrible. An option to make the chronology/enumeration information appear in the item record's volume field instead of in a separate designation field is absolutely necessary for us to…

Ability to remove parentheses from Chronology when Enumeration not used
In Serial Holdings Records, an option not to include parentheses around the date (chronology) when no enumeration pattern is being used would be helpful.
