When searching by ILL-Request in Leap for a specific date range, I would like to be able to Shift + Click to highlight and add to a record set to perform a bulk delete.

Add granularity to One-Click Request feature
We recently had a location close for a few weeks for a construction project. During that time, we turned it off as a holds pickup option in the PAC. However, patrons who were logged into their accounts and had that location as their default holds pickup location could still place holds for pickup at that location using One-Click. The only way to completely stop patrons placing holds for pickup at our closed location was to disable One-Click completely. This annoyed patrons at our locations that remained open, who saw a popular feature of the PAC disappear without warning for seemingly…

Ability to Edit/Modify Publication Patterns
It would be great to be able to edit or modify publication patterns as needed.
Currently, we are only able to modify publication patterns IF no issues have been received. After that, the only way to change a publication pattern is to close the current one and open a new one.
It would save staff time and effort if they could update a current pattern with necessary changes rather than being required to create a new one each time.

Find tool - additional columns on a Bibbliographic Search for Series name and volume
Our library team have requested to be able to see the series name and volume number in the returned bib records when searching with the find tool. It will mean they no longer need to open each result to see this information
similar proposal as:

patron barcode change workflow to automatically populate "former barcode" field
It would be great to have a way in Leap to change the patron barcode and have it auto populate the "Former Barcode" field in a single step. Perhaps a button could be added underneath "Reset Password" for "Replace Barcode" that simply prompts the staff member to scan a new barcode number. Leap would then move the existing barcode to the "Former Barcode" field, and then populate the Barcode field will the newly provided number. Help us save a few steps! Thanks for the consideration.

Option to return to find results after record deletion
When a record (item, bib, etc.) is opened from Find results and then marked as deleted, it (and the Find results) are automatically closed. It would great if the record did not close (leaving the Results button available) or the record closed and returned the user to the Find results.

Granular bib editing permissions
Currently staff can either edit/modify bib records or they can't. Greater granularity in what edits can be allowed would help distribute the work of maintaining bib records.
For example, if acquisitions staff could be allowed to add additional ISBNs or UPCs to existing bibs, it would free up cataloguing staff from this simple task without opening bib editing completely to a large number of people.
In a larger library system, especially a consortium with a shared catalogue, this could be a big time-saver to both acq and cat staff.

Add Postal Code table to PAPI
It would be nice for third party vendors and developers to have access to the Postal Code table via PAPI. Something similar to the OrganizationsGet method.

When refreshing the Leap Offline installation, offer the Offline mode link again
When you refresh the Offline installation in Leap it would be good to present the URL for Offline mode bookmarking again. The suggestion would be to show it in the pop-up toast message once the offline data is refreshed.
There currently is not an easy way for staff to get to the Offline link again without deleting the offline files and setting it up again.

Include All Patron Duplicate Detection Settings in the API
Currently the API only performs basic duplicate detection (name, birthdate, barcode, username, and optionally the name on ID) when a patron record is created using the PatronRegistrationCreate call. It does not apply other optional settings - email, phone 1, or the UDFs - these only get applied directly in Polaris or the PAC. This idea is for including these optional settings in the API logic.

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.

Block patrons from placing holds in VEGA, Mobile App, PAC and Leap if patron is blocked
Having patrons blocked from placing holds if there account is blocked is greatly needed, as patrons can currently place holds through Leap, Vega, Mobile App even if they are blocked for having too many fines.

Ability for PAPI to write to patron Custom Data Fields
It would be helpful if the PatronRegistrationCreate endpoint was able to write to the Patron Custom Data Fields.

Fulfilling holds in a particular order (Series)
I would like to be able to have a particular hold become active after a different hold has become filled. This is particularly useful for customers who are engaged in a series and do not want them all at once, but do want them in order and want to place all the holds at the same time.

Allow library to alter default status for "Mark Unavailable" in Missing Part Checkin
This currently defaults to "Display," and displays with that status in PAC. Display is a non-circing status that is actually used for items in our special collections, so we can't rename it to something like "In Repair."
If system admin gave an option to set a default status when "Mark Unavailable" is selected from Missing Part Check In, it would streamline workflows as we wouldn't have to go back and change the status in the item record.

Upload images for item records
I would like to upload images for an item record. We are attempting to build our Library of Things and these items don't have photos tied to the item record.

Improve Hold Duplicate Detection
Hold duplicate detection has a flaw that allows duplicate hold requests to be placed on the same titles. The detection seems to apply on title and author information stored with the hold request (apparently on the SysHoldRequestSearchTerms table), which stores point-in-time title/author details that may change if the bib record is overlayed or edited.
This idea is for improving the duplicate detection to fix this gap, but also any similar gaps I may be missing where title-related data is stored separately when the hold is created, and referenced by the dupe detection (I'm not seeing separate tables storing elements like…

Add a transmission method of 'E-Mail' to invoice creation
Add a Transmission Method of 'E-Mail' when creating an invoice. The current options are Paper, Fax, and Electronic. Many vendors now send invoices by E-Mail, not the US Postal Service. Invoices created by EDI transmissions are tagged as 'Electronic' as they should be, even if the vendor emails the invoice to us. What I would like to do is be able to identify an invoice that was emailed to us by a non-EDI vendor. I know it's technically a paper invoice once I print it; but it was received by email and should be identified as such.

Associate item info with collection agency charges
In our consortium, materials owned by any of our member libraries are shared for circulation by the other libraries. Only some of our libraries use a collection agency. When patrons pay for replacement of lost or damaged items, and any associated collection agency charges, we want to get that money to the library that owned the item. Sometimes we also need to confirm to a patron what the collection agency charge is related to.
Currently in SimplyReports' Patron Account reports, collection agency charges do not get associated with information from the items related to the charges. It would be handy…
