Option to slide divider to resize record header and editable data field
When you open a bib or item record, the header takes up about half the screen (with a slider bar if the record is long). For staff going in to edit the item details tab or the bib MARC tab, they no longer need to keep seeing all the header info. It would be useful if the field with the editable data were in a horizontal split screen or divide that could be slid up to minimize the header and expand the editable space.

Add new optional indexes to Quick Search
Add Bib record id to quick search, or include more possible indexes for keyword searching in Quick Search. We wouldn't want to enable ALL possible indexes because the goal of quick search is to be quick, but we would like to choose which ones we can enable and have far more options than we do now. Bib record ID & Patron ID are the two we would prioritize, which staff use constantly.

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.

Bib workform All Items list - Add navigation from open item workforms to next/prior item
Can development add a navigation option when someone has an item workform open on the All Items tab of the bibliographic workform to allow moving between item workforms without needing to close and manually open the next item?
One of the sticking points for technical services staff to adopt Leap is not being able to quickly navigate between item workforms to update barcodes while cataloging. In the desktop client, staff are able to use the View navigation options. Our current guidance is to use Bulk Change if the same revision needs to be made to multiple items or to use…19 votes -
Clerk Codes for Circulation Staff
It would be nice to have Clerk codes for Circulation Staff to enter to perform patron transactions. Once the transaction clears, the system resets and is ready for the next clerk code. This would alleviate the need for each staff member to have their own Polaris login and more importantly help identify staff that may need more training. It would also keep staff from piggybacking off another staff member's login. We would be happy if this was an option that could be turned on and left off for those libraries that do not desire it.

Ability to prioritize hold requests to be filled by a branch that has multiple copies of the requested title
Currently, if a customer places a request, it will go through the list of branches as we have them prioritized currently. It may try to pull a hold from a branch that has only one copy while another branch has five on their shelf. I would like to be able to prioritize those branches with more copies for two reasons. First, it can help us to distribute titles more evenly through our use of the floating function. And second, it can help fulfill a hold more quickly. If a branch has more copies of a title, it is likely that…

More customization for Leap Check In screen
We are a large consortium with over 40 branches. Each one prefers their check-in screen a little differently. Some would like to see less information on the check-in screen while others would like to see more. And some would like to remove some columns and add different ones. Can we have more customization on the admin side so we can add/remove fields for libraries when asked? Right now we can only choose from the given list: Title, Material Type, Shelf Location, Call Number, Patron Name, Assigned Branch, Collection. Some libraries would like to see the Loan Period Code... specifically.

Bulk delete predicted serials issues in Leap
Can the Serials Check-In utility be updated to allow bulk deletion of predicted serials issues? When a weekly/bi-weekly publication changes the day of the week that issues are released, it is easier to update predicted issues in the desktop client* but staff without authorization to create prediction patterns cannot complete this work in Leap. This slows down access for community members.
*In the desktop client, staff can bulk delete all but one predicted issue, edit the remaining predicted issue to match the new publication date, and then bulk predict issues to match the new day of week without closing and…32 votes -
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.

Separate Reader Services and Reading History permissions
There is currently just one permission (Patron status: Display reader services) that controls access to both the Reader Services and Reading History tab in a patron account in Leap. This should be split into separate permissions so that staff can be granted access to Reader Services without having access to Reading History.
Our consortium policies don't allow library staff to have access to patron Reading History, so while we would love to offer the Reader Services functionality to staff, we can't do that currently without granting them access to patron Reading History. The only theoretical workaround is setting up distinct…

Leap Login Setting: Set Default Branch to Workstation's Assigned Branch
Requested Change:
We would like to be able to configure Leap to match the Polaris Desktop Client's login behavior with regard to session branch selection. We would like it to default to the workstation's branch.Desktop Client:
When logging into the Polaris Desktop Client, the "Please select a branch for this session" dialog dropdown menu defaults to the Workstation's branch.Leap:
When logging into Leap, the "Select your Branch and Workstation" branch dropdown defaults to the User's assigned branch.Why:
At our organization, most staff are transacting in Leap on a desktop computer that is installed at a particular location.…16 votes -
Record set filtering by column
The search/filter functionality in a record set could be improved by providing the option of applying it to a selected column instead of to all the columns.

LEAP - Ability to edit invoice header charges
The functionality to edit fund or charge type in header charges would help streamline acquisitions workflows. At this time, we have to delete and redo the charge when we only want to update the fund, creating more room for error.

Option to directly edit fixed fields
The workform for viewing/editing fixed field data is useful in some cases, there are times when experienced cataloguers would find it faster and easier to have the option edit those lines directly.

Add POLI record ID to header (Leap)
Currently the POLI record ID is only visible as part of the url in the browser. It would help staff to more easily differentiate between multiple POLIs for the same title if the unique ID was included in the POLI header and as a column in the PO.

Add items to record set from bib
It would be helpful if Leap had the client functionality allowing staff to add items to a record set from a bib record.

Inventory to update item status
I would like to have the option for items being inventoried, if they have an anomalous status, to have those items go to a status of IN. Of course, we would rather not do that for damaged items, etc., so the ability to decide which statuses would be updated to IN, such as missing, would be essential.

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…

Reminder to refresh bib workform after editing in compare tool
Because edits can be made on a bib from the compare tool while the bib workform is open and unlocked, it would be helpful to have a reminder to staff to refresh the bib workform if they return to it. When staff are working with multiple bibs, it is easy to forget that a refresh is needed before making additional edits. Saving in the bib workform can result in losing the edits made in the compare tool.
Ideally a pop-up or a highlighted refresh button would only show up if edits had been made to the bib elsewhere. This could…18 votes
