Allow for creating links to bib records from within an authority record
This might be coming in 8.0 - it's not on the roadmap, but maybe it's too small to feature there. In the Polaris client, within an authority record, there is an option to create links to bib records (see attached screenshot). This same functionality should also be included in Leap in order for cataloguers to fully switch over to Leap.

Compare record sets side by side
Now that in Leap we can compare bib records side by side, it would be very helpful to be able to compare record sets side by side. Right now I'm exporting contents and comparing in Excel/Google Sheets, and then sometimes importing the results into a new record set. I'd love to be able to see two record sets next to each other and edit as needed directly in Leap. Apologies if this idea has already been submitted. Thanks!

Make it possible to save / share Power Searches in Leap outside of the individual level
Enhance operational efficiency and standardization by allowing the saving of Leap power searches beyond individual staff profiles. Currently, saved power searches reside only at the personal level, hindering consistent workflows and leading to duplicated effort. Enabling system- or library-level saving for power searches will allow libraries to establish shared, robust searches, improving consistency and ensuring critical search capabilities remain accessible regardless of staff changes.

Ability to import files in Leap other than .dat, .mrc,.txt., .xml
We receive vendor records with file extensions .FIL and .001. We are able to import these in the Client but are not able to import them in Leap.

Ebook/Eaudio integration
Allow for more than one template/profile when integrating with Overdrive or other vendor. Currently, we have to manually change all eaudiobook material from ebook.

Allow searching by modification date
You should be able to search in the Find Tool by record modification date. So far I'm seeing this missing from Record Sets, Patron Accounts, etc.. This would make it easier to Find Records without having to resort to using SQL which makes it much more accessible to all staff.

Add the ability to export records from OCLC to Leap using the OCLC gateway.
Sierra includes the ability export records directly from OCLC into Sierra using the OCLC gateway. This allows librarians to quickly make edits in OCLC using macros, and export those records to Sierra without actually affecting the master record in OCLC. Having this feature in Leap would be great.

Align Item Editing and Manage Item Dialogs Permissions
Item editing permission organizations are based on the Owning Branch of an item. However, permissions for item editing through the checkout page ('Manage Item Dialogs') are based on the item's Assigned Branch (as well as the check-in branch matching the assigned branch).
We think it makes sense for both these permissions to be aligned to the Owning Branch, otherwise it can leave room for inappropriate changes. For instance, in our consortia some items are owned by one library but lent to others (assigned to their libraries), and this gap has led to item changes by staff that shouldn't have had…

Auto suggest volumes while adding items to a bib record
When creating a new item record on a bib, it would be wonderful if while typing in the volume field, Leap automatically suggested volumes from other items attached to that particular bib. This would help ensure standardization of how the volume is entered on each item record (eg. V.1 vs V. 1 vs. V.01) while also allowing the libraries to add a new volume number for volumes 2, 3, etc. since it would suggest while typing rather than changing the volume field to be a drop down menu of pre-defined options.

Reverting to what the bibliographic record (or any authority record for that matter) was when it was last saved
When you want to get rid of a bunch of edits, but only the ones made since the last save, it saves time to have just one button to click on. For example, when you want to validate juvenile headings, you need to take out |v Fiction for each heading. If they are all good, you want it back in each heading.

bulk add "stat code"
Be able to bulk add stat codes. Currently we can only add at the branch level manually because the library and system level tables are too large. This requires a manual change or contracting Polaris every time we want to add stat codes for all locations.

Leap - Give the option to overlay a record while comparing multiple MARC records
When comparing bib records in Leap, it would be nice to be able to choose the bib to keep and overlay the other with. This would streamline deduplicating similar records.

Ability to remove spaces from call numbers in Leap
When the callnumber column is pulled from itemrecorddetails via SQL (as opposed to SimplyReports) it includes trailing and leading spaces. It's easy to fix these unwanted spaces in the client, but they don't show up at all in Leap, so can't be fixed. If Leap is to replace the client eventually, it would be great to able to fully edit these fields in Leap (we are hosted, so can't easily modify the data via SQL).

Ad hoc Patron Bulk Changes From Find Tool
Similar to the change in 7.6 for Item Changes, it would be beneficial to be able to make the ad hoc changes to patron records. Our libraries could easily change their Juvenile patrons to Adult patrons using the Find tool.

Leap - display control numbers in list of current and recent workforms
Right now, the only thing that displays in the list of workforms is the title. When comparing records with the exact same title, this can get confusing and requires too many clicks to make sure you are selecting the correct record. There needs to be more information displayed in addition to the title, and should at minimum have a control number.

Edit Half-Deleted Item Records
When doing clean up work we run into instances where we are not able to delete something like shelf locations because it is assigned to records that are in a deleted state. While we know we can just delete the records 1 more time, some of these records are tied to other things we track and would prefer to keep them in the system.
Currently we bulk change them at the server level but would like a way to be able to do this within the ILS.

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.

Ability to Bulk Un-Delete Bib Records in record set
In the Polaris client (we're on 7.6) we would love to be able to un-delete "half-deleted" bib records (any in "Delete" status).
We receive a monthly report of "Bibs without Item Records" for final weeding and we're finding many "half-deleted" bibs where staff have deleted the final copy on a record and clicked "delete" in the pop-up instead of "suppress from PAC".
We would like to be able to bulk change these Delete-status records back to Final so we can extra needed marc data (OCLC #s, primarily) and then properly double-delete them.

Allow an item to belong in multiple collections.
Sometimes a single collection assignment for an item isn't enough. When you want to add an item to a collection only to find that it already belongs to another collection, it would be nice to be able to assign it to your collection as well. The item may belong to an awards collection like Newbery but also to a collection of picture books.
