Leap add option to add fixed fields via bibliographic bulk change
Add the ability to add a 006 or 007 field to records via bibliographic bulk change in Leap. Leap has the ability to edit existing fixed fields via bulk change and the staff client offers the ability to add a new 006 or 007 via bulk change, so this would be part of bringing Leap into parity with the staff client. Bib records that come in from OCLC often lack the exact fixed field coding requires to display the correct Type of Material in Polaris so the ability to add missing fields via bulk change in Leap will make cataloging…

Improvement to Leap filter
When using the Leap filter we would like to have option to select 'not equal to / <>' when dealing with shelf location filter.
We usually use things like collection and call number of what items to include when doing inventory. We would like to exclude items that are located on certain shelves. As we start putting more items into a Display shelf location we dont want to sweep any of those items up into our search.

Activate arrows on a keyboard
Whenever there are menus like "Yes", "no", "cancel", it would be nice to use arrows and enter buttons on a keyboard and not a mouse. Right now arrows don't work.
7 votesJust a quick note that because these are button elements, you can tab or shift+tab to move forwards and backwards between the options.

More information on ILL
On the information page for an ILL, there should be the ability to see what staff have interacted with the ILL or if a patron has made a change. We had an ILL get cancelled before it arrived to our library, but we can't tell if it was a staff initiation or a patron one. In the record for a regular item, I can see who has done what with a hold. This would be useful for follow up.

Patron Import Process (LEAP) adding Polaris Username field
Adding the ability to add / update the Polaris username field as an alternative barcode for students/patrons would be hugely beneficial in the import process. This would allow us to have a student ID as a barcode and a former library barcode for patrons to use at the expresscheck.

Allow libraries to reset staff accounts that are locked out
There are a few scenarios where staff don't remember their exact password and get themselves locked out of LEAP: they are adjunct staff who work infrequently, they have just returned from a long vacation, or simply have brain freeze. In these cases, they open a support ticket, and I would like to be able to reset their account so that they can log in immediately, the same way I can now clear an object lock on an item that someone needs to use. Thanks for considering!

Hold History report where you could enter a Bibliographic Record ID
If Simply Reports had a Hold History report, where you could enter a Bibliographic Record ID and then see the history of hold requests created for that bibliographic record -- it would be most helpful when trying to see why an item wasn't automatically renewed, or was blocked from renewing.

Allow staff to view read-only records without needing to cancel the override pop-up
For SHRs and Authorities, if you have read-only access to those records and try to view them, you get an override pop-up. This is happening because it is attempting to open those records in Write mode. To VIEW the record, you have to hit cancel, which is confusing for staff.
For Bib records, it does not work this way. For bib records, you can view them and then if you don't have permission to write or modify them, you get the pop-up when you attempt to save the record.
In the item record if you have view only permissions, it…

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.

Links to Public Access Catalogs from Leap Item Records
In Leap, links to web-based public access catalogs are only available through bib records. It would be convenient if they can also be made accessible through item records.

Allow library to choose which "unexpected" item statuses will prevent checkouts
If staff attempt to check out an item with an "unexpected" status, such as Withdrawn, Unavailable, or Missing the checkout fails, with an error message "unexpected item status." Staff must check the item in to change its status to Available, and then check it out. This breaks the flow of the checkout transactions and causes a delay for the patron. It would be very helpful if we could specify in System Administration which statuses cause a complete failure of the checkout (the current rule for all of these statuses), which cause a warning message that staff can override, and which…

Improve Visual UI of Leap screens
Many screens in Leap are awash with 1px borders, which make it difficult to visually distinguish different areas of the system because of the "noise".
While there are lots of ares for UI improvement across Leap, this one might be an easy win, as shown in the side by side screenshots.

SIP2 support for checking in lost items via sorter
Support should be included so that when lost items are checking via automated materials handlers, they should be checked in and processed - bill waived and item status updated appropriately.

Block non-owning libraries from waiving fines
It'd be nice if fines could be ineligible for being waived by staff from any library other than the owning library. In our consortia staff can waive any fine regardless of how much it is and what library it's from, this also goes for lost and damaged items on a patron's card. This can lead to staff just waiving fines that they shouldn't be waiving, or accidentally paying out lost/damaged items for another library, which we aren't supposed to do. Similar to how staff from other libraries can't update item details like call number, etc. for an item that doesn't…

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.

Display latest additions to record sets at the top of the record set
We create large weeding record sets by pulling items from the shelves then scanning them into the record set. Additions to the set are always shown at the bottom of the list. This means the user needs to keep scrolling to the end of the list to be assured their scanned item did save to the list and if they want to query last scanned items.
This request is simply to change the order in which the set is displayed on screen, with most recent additions added at the top of the list.

Add Call Number to Item Information on Account Tab
Staff are requesting that the call number be added to items that are billed on the account tab in the patron page. Right now, the main item information is Barcode/Title/Organization [branch] so they have to click to the item to see the call number when they do a shelf check. Adding the call number to this page will help staff work more efficiently by skipping having to look it up on another page.

Save patron name when deleted on holds to action
- Patron has a held item
- Held item is cancelled
- Then the patron record is deleted
- The hold on the holds to action will have no patron name shown.
This means that staff have no real way to know where their hold is on the hold shelf (holds are arranged on the shelf by patron name) to be removed. This was originally entered as a bug, but it was closed as a bug because it was working as designed.

Add series info when linking
Currently, if I want to add series information for a book in the item record when I link it, I would need to put it in the volume field. It'd be nice if there was an easy way to indicate if a book is part of a series and where it falls in the series without it creating a super long call number. Series info isn't standardized when it comes from publishers and isn't always included in the MARC record. This does make a difference for my patrons to know if a book is part of a series and would…

Ability to share saved reports in Simply Reports
We would like to be able to share the reports we save in My Reports in Simply Reports. That way multiple people have the ability to run a report with the exact same parameters without having to share the very long list of parameters.
