Leap: MARC Import profile should select default file
In the staff client, we can set a default file for a particular import profile. When that import profile is used, the file is already selected and we don't have to search for it. We'd like this same thing in Leap, but currently aren't able to set a default file and have to search for it every time.
Idea Value
This would prevent having to search for the exact same file every time when importing. It would save time, is more efficient, and already works well in the staff client.58 votes -
Allow us to change Circ Status to Withdrawn without checking the item in first.
It can be confusing when staff look at the history for an item and it says it was Checked in/Available and then it shows it as Withdrawn. This happens when we are preparing bills and we need to withdraw an item with the Circulation Status of Lost/Damaged/Replacement cost before we can bill the other library. It would be nice to open the Item Record for the specific item and declare it Withdrawn. I would suggest that a BIG RED BOX pop up and say "YOU ARE GETTING READY TO DECLARE THIS ITEM WITHDRAWN. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?" …

Add "Days Past First Available" to Item Bulk Change Options
The item hold setting option, "Days Past First Available," was added in Polaris 6.4. This hold setting is not currently included in item bulk change options and should be added in.
Idea Value
Libraries who want to begin using this feature cannot currently bulk change existing items to use this setting (or, if already using, change the existing value). All other item hold setting options can be bulk changed. For parity, the "days past first available" should be added as a bulk change option as well.32 votes -
Add save option to "close without saving" pop-up
In Leap, when item or bib records are closed after edits have been made, the warning pop-up the options are to close without saving or to cancel the close action. In the client, (and in Leap patron records) the pop-up includes an option to save & close, which is probably the intended action most of the time.
Having to click to cancel the close, then click to save, then click to close again, is a lot of extra steps.24 votes -
Free Text Option in Leap MARC Editor
Add an optional free-text MARC editing mode to the Leap MARC editor that allows professional catalogers to directly edit bibliographic fields as plain text. Ideally, this would be toggleable at the record level, allowing staff to switch between the formatted MARC view and freetext view as needed.
Leap's current MARC editor is great for copy cataloging, minimal edits, or non-professional staff. However, full-time professional catalogers are often frustrated by the inability to update multiple field at once, paste long blocks of MARC data or navigate through tags using the keyboard. For this type of workflow, Leap's editor is signficantly slower…

Leap: links from funds
In the client, funds link directly to invoices, POs, POLIs, and other related records. Funds in Leap have very few links. Direct linking to working acq records facilitates tech services workflows.

Apply sort to all records in record set
Just as bulk change applies to all the records in a record set (whether they are all loaded or not), sorting should apply to all the records, not just the ones that are initially loaded.

Leap: cancel from POLI workform
In the client, a POLI can be cancelled from the PO, POLI view or from within the POLI workform. In Leap, it can only be cancelled from the PO, POLI tab. Adding the ability to cancel from the POLI workform would reduce steps and reduce the likelihood of staff selecting the wrong POLI to cancel. This would help with the transition of tech services to Leap.

Polaris Leap: Popup/Prompt for Patron Blocks
Currently, in the desktop client, when opening a checkout window and entering a patron's barcode, if the selected patron has blocks, a window pops up and prompts the user to continue or cancel the interaction. This is not present in the checkout workflow in Polaris Leap, so it is possible for circulation staff to miss important information if they do not open the "Blocks" button before every interaction. Is it possible for an optional feature to be added to notify circulation staff about patron blocks before a transaction?

Invoice links to POLIs
In the client, staff often use the link to individual purchase order line items, but this is not yet available in Leap. Because an invoice may have many linked POs, and POs may have many POLIs, it can be difficult to find the correct POLI without access to direct links.
Adding POLI links would reduce friction for tech services staff making the move to Leap.

Find Tool Customization
Currently there are a lot of search options that many of our staff do not use within the search tool. I would love a way to customize this per user either to have favorites that float to the top or a way to suppress options that can still be quickly revealed for those extra rare use cases.

Alert of Dated Notes
We would like an alert to let us know when a patron has a dated note similar to the old Notes section. Even if it could flag the same NOTES word.
Trying to transition to using dated notes only but we need our circ staff to be aware there are notes to view rather than them going to that section for every patron to see if there are any.

Retain load-all after making changes in a record set
Provide an option to retain the load-all after making changes in a record set. Currently if you load all, then make a change, it reloads the limited set of records.

Cancel Purchase Order Line Item Segment - LEAP
One way that our ability to transition to fully utilize LEAP for acquisitions is limited is the inability to cancel a segment of a Purchase Order Line Item. There are times when vendors only send us a partial fulfillment due to backorder cancellations or other issues. At this time, we have to use the client for this issue.

Remove records from one record set that are in another record set or in an Excel file
It's great being able to bulk-add records to a record set, but it would also be helpful to be able to bulk-remove records from a record set based on either another record set, or an Excel file.
Today in larger record sets it can be a pain to remove a medium to large amount of records. Our staff may work with 10,000+ entry record sets, and need to remove records meeting certain criteria that isn't visible in the fields when viewing a record set. This idea would give a user the flexibility to fill a separate record set based on…

Open potential duplicate bibs in Compare window
It would be helpful if the bib duplicate check popup had an option to open the records in a Compare window. Currently staff have to do a separate search for the potential duplicate records to be able to closely compare them and/or copy data from one to another, then redo the duplicate check to merge them.
