Item and Patron barcode printing
We would like the ability to print an item's barcode while in Leap. We have items that either require multiple barcodes for processing or items that have lost their barcode and it would be nice to print these directly from Leap to the printer of our choice.
Currently staff need to grab the barcode from Leap and then open a different software to print the barcode label.
This idea would also be nice if we can expand to a patron's barcode. Patrons come in and don't have their card for that visit but need it to access the computer. Rather…

Log Duplicate Invoice Errors During Polaris Invoice Creation Request Add an error message to the EDI logs wh
Add an error message to the EDI logs when an invoice fails to load into the Polaris invoice tables due to a duplicate invoice number already existing in Polaris.
This is becoming a bigger issue as Ingram has changed their invoice number scheme and they are using the same numbers as Midwest has used. There is no way to delete or edit past Midwest invoices, so this is a critical issue for figuring out why invoices aren't loading.
Current Issue
- If a duplicate is detected during the Polaris invoice creation step, no error is recorded.
- This results in…9 votes -
Suppress Deleted Items from Staff View
With the option to retain deleted item records, results for staff can become cluttered with items that are no longer available. If we could suppress the display of "Deleted" items list on a bib (similarly to the suppression of "Discard" status items in the OPAC) this would allow us to retain item details for historical/statistical purposes without inconveniencing staff. It would be useful to suppress bibs where all items are deleted as well, but I can understand if that would need to be spun off into separate development.
This could be done as a setting, so that they don't surface…

Leap - allow for adding selected records to a PO or selection list
Please add more options for adding records in a record set to purchase orders or selection lists in Leap. Currently, the only actions in Leap are to bulk add records to a new or existing PO; the Polaris client also has options to add all records to a new or existing selection list, to add selected records to a new or existing PO, or to add selected records to new or existing selection lists. (See screenshots.)

LEAP POLI linking needed
POLI does not link to the supplier record. Bibliographic record does not link to POLI or invoice line item unlike in the Client.
Add functionality in LEAP to not only link from Bib to PO or Invoice but also link to line item.

Adding a bulk change option for item records linked to a PO
In the toolbar version of Polaris, it is easy to make bulk changes to item records from the PO, which we occasionally need to do to change things like shelf locations, call number prefixes, and notes that can’t be added via the item record templates. In Leap, there’s no bulk change option on the items tab for a purchase order, and there is also no way to select the item records to add to a record set to be able to do a bulk change that way, meaning any edits to the item records needs to be done one by…

Publication pattern template creation in Leap
Please add in the ability to create and edit publication pattern templates within Leap. As my consortium shifts to using only Leap, I am discovering small things that seem to be missing, which make it difficult for staff to fully switch over to Leap. One of those things is the ability to create a publication pattern template. As of version 7.8, this is something that still has to be done in the toolbar (https://documentation.iii.com/polaris/7.8/Default.htm#PolarisStaffHelp/Serials/PSsetup/Creating_Publication_Pattern_Templates.htm). You can use publication pattern templates within Leap, but you can't currently create a new one or edit existing ones.

Implement EDI Claiming From Sierra/Millennium
We’ve long benefited from Sierra’s well-supported EDI claims functionality, which has enabled seamless communication and efficient claims processing with our library partners. However, we’ve observed that Polaris currently lacks equivalent support for sending claims via EDI in the same format.
Can you please port over the EDI Claiming Format From Sierra & Millennium to Polaris? This would make it easier for libraries migrating to Polaris from these products.

Leap: quickly copy line items
One impediment for our processing staff in moving to Leap is the lack of the ability to quickly copy a line item in Leap (here's the process in the client: https://documentation.iii.com/polaris/7.6/#PolarisStaffHelp/Acquisitions/PAorder/Copy_a_purchase_order_line_item.htm)
The same process in Leap involves several more steps:
1.Go back to the PO
2. click new line item
3.fill out line item details
4. click on segments
5. click new segment
6. fill out Collection Code and FundA quicker way to get through a PO would be if we could add the same segment to all of the line items at once, e.g click the check…

Add an option to mark record sets as "do not delete."
Polaris has long supported an option in Patron Registration where you can mark a patron record as "Do Not Delete." I'd like to see that same functionality carried over to record sets. For me, it's a fairly common task to recover accidentally deleted record sets for staff members who've somehow managed to delete an important and often used record set, despite every warning they receive.
Specifically, I'd like to see this option added at the permissions level, with separate permissions for:
- Mark a record set as "do not delete"
- Clear a record set for deletion
That way staff members can't…

Add an Invoice Status of 'Ready to pay'

Standard Address Number (SAN) Inconsistency
There is no hyphen in Branch SAN but Supplier SAN has a hyphen. This causes confusion for both the library and suppliers while setting up EDI for the very first time for new Polaris customers. It would be better if there was a consistency.

Make "Library Has" field manually editable.
When our library transitioned from Sierra to Polaris, our Sierra serial check-in cards could not be transitioned. We have several serials that go back decades. In order to make the "Library Has" field display correctly in Vega, I currently create a publication pattern that begins with the earliest issue. I can then either extrapolate check-in boxes and check in every single back issue (which is a huge pain in Leap, because issues can only be checked in one at a time), or I can skip to the most recent issue received after the transition. This works well in Vega, but…

Item counts on PO and Invoice Headers
It would be beneficial to have a total item count in the header of POs and Invoices for quick reference. Currently there is no easy way to get this count from a PO or Invoice because there is not even a row count column under the items view.

Combine items and statistics on bib record
Please combine the items and the statistics on the bib record into one section so that we can see circ stats and item status without having to click multiple areas. We need this data to help us determine whether an item should be transferred from another branch, repaired, or replaced. Attached is how it looks in Staff Client, and it would be great if we could see this view in LEAP.

Make the chronology date field manually adjustable in serial check-in boxes
When a serial holdings record includes a pattern for a completely irregular issue, and the only chronology date on the issue is the year, the chronology day and month chosen when the publication pattern was set up is used for all following issues checked in using that pattern. The ability to manually adjust the chronology date would be very helpful, and would ensure that issues display in the correct order.
In the attached image, the expected date shows the date that the issue was actually received. However, because the chronology date for the first completely irregular issue we received was…3 votes -
LEAP Weeding Workflow Not Found function
When we create a weeding record set, before sending it to the approval dashboard for review, we'd like to have a way to mark items in the set as "not found" or some other indication that the item is not on the shelf. Right now we can update items individually to another status (missing for example) or remove them from the record set. We would like the ability streamline this and mark the item directly in the weeding record set.
This is similar to these ideas: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/48218423-weeding-record-sets-need-to-have-picklist-function
