Bulk waive criteria should allow user to specify maximum or minimum amount of charge to be waived
The new(ish) bulk waive options in Leap are extremely useful, but library administrators often want to waive charges of a certain amount - usually "waive all charges of less than X dollars." The current interface, however, doesn't allow the user to specify an amount for the charge to be waived. This would be very useful and would avoid the need for creating a SQL statement to identify such charges. The scenario of waiving all charges greater than a given amount is less likely, but if you're adding the ability to specify a maximum, why not add the option for a…

Launch bib record compare from Find Tool
It would be really helpful for fixing rollups if you could pick records to compare directly from the Find Tool instead of opening one record and then running a search again to find records to compare!

Staff's ability to make item bulk changes should follow permissions for item record change
Currently item bulk change functionality allows staff to bulk change fields that they can't change in individual item records. This allows staff to modify item records using bulk change when they're blocked from modifying directly in the item record. The same permissions should apply to bulk change:
• Item records: Modify cataloging view
• Item records: Modify source and acquisitions view
• Item records: Modify reserves view
• Item records: Modify history viewThe library feels this is a data security risk. Fundamentally, here is the question: what is the purpose of the permission Item records: Modify cataloging view?

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.)

Undo/Redo Buttons in the Leap MARC Editor
In the Client, there are undo and redo buttons. The undo button is particularly useful when someone has made a mistake. It quickly allows staff to correct the mistake by pressing a single button. When training technical services staff to use Leap, this button is clearly missed. Having this button will make the transition to Leap easier. Questions and comments about the lack of the undo button are common during training.

Registration renewal option to add a renewal period on top of the existing expiration date
We have paid non-resident fees which get used for unique patron codes which last 1 year. If a customer is renewing their registration early, we give them a year from their expiration date so that they are not losing any of the time that they previously paid for. Perhaps a checkbox in the renewal dialog box to indicate that this is what we want to do, but also an option to have this automatically toggled for certain patron codes and an option to suppress its use when an account is fully expired.

Append Hold Pickup Slip to Hold Slip
There are already some other ideas/requests for additional Hold Slip configurations and, while I fully support any additional receipt configuration, they're scope is pretty broad. Meanwhile, this is a pretty specific idea/request that I would hope could be implemented easily. The subject pretty much says it all, but we would like the ability to append the Hold Pickup Slip to the Hold Slip. Currently, it is only possible to append the Hold Pickup Slip to the Hold Call Slip (not a particularly distinct name...) which prints ALL of the patron's available holds. This can result in some VERY long receipts…

Include Call Number Field in SIP Item Information Response (18) Message
No that we have migrated from Sierra to Polaris, the call number field is not included in the SIP response when using an inventory wand. At this point we only see the barcode and title of an item, which makes it more difficult to find identified items.

Using Shift + Click for holds
Staff would love to be able the ability to use Shift + Click to select a range of hold requests in the Leap Patron record Holds view. This is an option in the Items out view (as well as in the Find tool and record sets) and it would be great it this could also be added into the patron Holds view.

Making Text in On-Order Records a Different Color
We have noticed an uptick in libraries circulating items on on-order records despite it violating consortia policy. We would like to see the text of on-order records (or even just specific fields) be in a different color to help provide a visual indicator of the record type.

Custom cover images should show up in Leap
We use ChiliFresh as a source for cover images and we also use their service to upload custom images for missing covers, kits, etc. After the MARC record is updated with the custom image tag, the new image shows up in the PowerPAC immediately. However, it never shows up in Leap. Leap is already pulling images from ChiliFresh (as well as other sources) for the cover images in Leap's item and bib records. It's really weird that it doesn't pull from the same source to get the custom image attached to the record.

Saving Registrations in Leap
My library is on Leap 7.6 and we have a problem when our staff is setting up new registrations. The “Save” button is right next to the “Cancel” button and when you accidently hit cancel there is no “Are you sure” pop up or something similar. We would love for this to be fixed! We've had to redo way to many patron accounts!

Move the Leap quotes out of WebAdmin and into SA
The author quotes in Polaris Leap suddenly became a hot topic because of a Neil Gaiman quote within the list. While making some adjustments, it occurred to me that there are more possibilities for those Leap quotes and that they could be used to convey real information to the staff about things like upcoming Polaris upgrades, library events, and so on. At the very least, changing the quotes in WebAdmin is a bit of a pain because you have to change a quote and an author separately.
My idea is that the quotes should be added to SA, where they're…

Add Power Search features to Leap's OmniSearch
The usefulness of the OmniSearch box in Leap would be greatly enhanced by the addition of operators and Power Search (CCL) features so an experienced Polaris user could execute their search right away, in the OmniSearch, and get the results back in a Find Tool. As it is, if I want to search for, say, an item record, I need to:
- Click Find to launch the Find Tool
- Change the search type to Item Records
- Change whatever parameters I need to change after that.
- Maybe add a filter or two and then apply those filters
- Go back to the Find…

When there is a blocking note on an account, a red square block appears like it does for an expired library card.
When a library card is expired a large red box appears on the screen to say the library card is expired. Can we get that same type of box for an account that has a balance and a Blocking note?

Provide additional reporting options for In-House Use
In-house counts are very important for informing staffing and collection maintenance. It would be great to have more options around in-house beyond YTD and Lifetime counts. For example, it would be helpful to run reports on the amount of in-house use within a specified time frame in both item list and item count reports as well as the ability to run item statistical reports on in-house use.

Clarify Transaction History Display Behavior
When viewing a patron’s transaction history, selecting a transaction displays the related/paired transaction (e.g., waive vs. original charge). This behavior is working as designed but creates confusion because the displayed details do not match the selected row.
Current Behavior
• Staff select a transaction (e.g., a charge from 2/23/26) and select the history button.
• The system opens a detail view showing the associated transaction (e.g., the waive from 3/26/26).
• This makes it appear as though the system is pulling incorrect or reversed data.User Impact
• Causes confusion and lack of confidence in the accuracy of transaction records.…4 votes -
"Undo" check ins/outs and other functions
It would be very helpful to have an "undo" button for more functions in Leap. Particularly for when you accidentally check something in/out.

Greater specificity in Weeding Record set red toasts
When scanning materials into a weeding-type record set, the system throws (broadly) two types of toasts - yellow and red. The yellow toasts very helpfully specify in what exact manner the given item does not match weeding criteria filters. However, the red toasts (excluding "Barcode is invalid" and the indication an item is already in a weeding record set) do not specify in what exact manner the given item falls outside the inclusion criteria.
For especially complex weeding criteria, this can make for one heck of a slog through the item record, and subsequently the attached bibliographic record, to identify…

SimplyReports: Add "Not Present" option for Shelf Locations
In the Item reports, some general filters categories, such as Stat Code, have a Not Present option. This allows staff to report by Collection Code or Material Type and exclude unwanted Stat Codes. It would be helpful to have the same option to exclude Shelf Locations.
