Compare bibs with an outside source - Leap
We would like the ability to compare bibliographic records in Leap with ones from an outside source, like z39.50. This is a key part of our cataloguing process and is a necessary piece to moving those staff members over to Leap.

Add the ability to round all prices to nearest nickel
With the production of pennies ending, we've had some discussion around prices in Polaris. Ideally, we would like to see some method of optionally having all prices (item prices and fines) rounded to the nearest nickel. We haven't run into any problems yet, but as pennies eventually become more scarce, we suspect that we'll have trouble with cash payments.

patron account edit history
I would like there to be a way to see who has interacted with a patron account, in the same way there is a history on an item record. Today we were trying to see who had made a specific change to a patron account, but because someone else had fixed it already, we couldn't. So, if we had a list like the item history, where we could see who had been in and what had been done, we could more easily know who to contact and train on an issue.

Grouped Bibs
Since moving to Vega Discover, we are finding that we are having some issues there with holds queues due to the rolled up records (I've posted an idea over there too), but it's also exacerbated by the way records show in Leap.
Ultimately, it would be great if bibs rolled up in Leap in a similar way to Discover. Not the different formats per say, but if there is a softcover, hardcover, deluxe, and reissue of a book, it would be nice to be able to see those all together to determine circ stats for them in a combined view,…

Separate Almost Overdue & Autorenew notice strings
We recently did an overhaul of our messaging in the notice strings to make things clearer for patrons, and we had issues with clear messaging for Almost Overdue and Autorenew notices, since there are sometimes two separate options for Almost Overdue and Autorenew notice strings, but not always. This only allows us to partially customize them separately, when we would like fully separate options. As a result, for certain strings, we are forced to be more vague, which is not ideal.
Please offer separate options for the email subject line and the email 'other header' strings, as well as the…

Polaris 8.1 - Return to where you were in your record set list after closing an item record from the record set
When I am working in a long record set and open an item record and then close it again, it returns me to the top of the record set. I would really like it to return me to where I was in the list to more easily continue my work.

Provide a way for administrators to disable all patron credit features
Our libraries would like to disable all the patron credit features. Most of our libraries do not accept lost-and-paid items; once the item is paid for, it belongs to the patron if found. We have 43 libraries in our system and our reconciliations of lost item payments is already complex enough that we can only do it semiannually. Adding a 'paid from credit" line is going to bring up questions from our auditors. And mistakes have already been made when staff doesn't see the credit on a patron's account and so asks them to make a payment.

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.

Last Circ Date in Item Record that is currently checked out
The Circ Date in the item record workform (Circulation tab) is confusing. When an item is currently checked out, the circ date shows the date of the current checkout rather than the previous patron’s checkout date. This is confusing because it appears under “Last Use,” alongside the last borrower and branch information (see attached photo). It would be clearer if this field were labeled more explicitly or moved to a different area, perhaps below the Current Borrower (see attached mock-up).

Service Name Logging in PatronValidate API
This proposal outlines an extension to the Patron Validation API to include an optional serviceName parameter. When provided, this value will be recorded in the Integrated Library System (ILS) transaction log, allowing us to track which service initiates each patron validation request.
Currently, the ILS transaction log records patron validations without capturing which service initiated the request. This lack of context makes it difficult to analyze traffic from third-party services (e.g., OverDrive, Hoopla) or internal applications, troubleshoot validation spikes, and make informed decisions about service contracts and resource allocation.
The proposed solution is to modify the Patron Validation API to…

Easily print multiple of the same spine lable in Leap
When printing spine labels from an item record in the client, you can choose to print multiple of that same label. I would like to have that functionality in Leap. This will be helpful when processing multiple of the same item without having to send the label request for each individual item.

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.

Allow customers to set/adjust Preferred Name via MY Account in PAC
Currently, staff can set a preferred name for customers but customers can only do so themselves during their initial self registration (we use Quipu's eReg). It would be great if customers could make preferred name adjustments on their own even after registration, via My Account.
Functionally, this could entail a check box that they wish to use a different name and, when they do this, it would automatically duplicate the existing values in their required name fields into the Name on ID fields and then allow the edit to Required name field. This would be an especially helpful option for…

Send record sets to Label Manager in Leap
The desktop client has the ability to send a record set to Label Manager; Leap does not. Without this feature, mass relabelling projects such as adding a new section are an enormous drain on staff time.

Keep search terms when switching type of search in find tool
Library staff using Leap would like to have their search terms retained when switching Find Tool options between Bibliographic and Item record searches. This is available in the staff client and staff are used to being able to swap back and forth quickly between the two search types when helping patrons at the desk.

Search results
When searching in Leap, sometimes I need to take all of the search results and add them to a Record Set. I wish I had a select all button. In stead I have to individually select every single record to be added. This would save me so much time!
