Option to Display Description and Comments for MARC Tooltips
It's possible the Description and Comments configured for MARC validation display somewhere else already, but it would be nice if there were a couple of buttons to display that data in the MARC tooltips. The Description would be helpful for any tags that aren't used regularly or for staff with limited familiarity with MARC formats while the Comments could be useful in communicating local cataloging policies. Bonus points if we could allow staff with the appropriate permissions to edit the Description and Comments directly in the tooltip. It's not a particularly good example, but you could include something like "Please…

Additional control over which fields in patron registration form are mandatory to save a record
Polaris currently (as of 7.8) offers some limited customization of which fields in the patron registration form in Leap are required to save a record.
When the "Name on ID" fields were introduced several releases ago (7.2?) we were excited. However, the way the feature was implemented meant that the primary name fields were now the "preferred name" fields and were required to be filled out in order to save a record. However, a record could be saved without recording a name on ID.
Our broader city government did not like us dropping the requirement to capture patrons' legal names,…

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.

No longer require carrier when selecting TXT
As libraries move away from using gateways to send text messages we would like to make the wireless carrier field optional.

Registration confirmation email as part of patron self-registration
My library would like an email to be sent to patrons who use the self-registration form in the PAC with a confirmation that the registration has gone through and with reminder information that they will need to come in to complete their full registration. This would also allow us to confirm that we have a correct contact for the patron.

POST and DELETE methods for Record Sets
Currently with PAPI there is the ability to GET the contents of a Record Set and PUT additional records into Record Sets. We would love the Record Set API to be fully built out with POST methods (to create new Record Sets) and a DELETE method (to delete an existing Record Set).

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…

provide a "here today" button in Leap.
Provide staff with a single click option in Leap to find titles on shelf at the location they are currently logged in under. Many staff default to using the PAC for its Available Now option - which is great but, is problematic if a customer doesn't have their card and/or doesn't know their password. While we can emulate the Available now search in Leap thru filters or saved search parameters, even accessing those saved searches can take several clicks. Offering an available or here now button would make this much faster and would be used very often

Add the Ad Hoc Bulk Change Button to POs and Invoices in Leap
Acquisitions staff frequently need to bulk change item records for a specific order. This is commonly done for orders that were placed manually instead of using EDI or if Polaris created item records using the wrong template. In the Client, it can efficiently be done as an ad hoc bulk change by opening the list of items that are linked to a PO or invoice. The ad hoc bulk change button should be added to the tab that contains the list of item records linked to the PO and Invoice in Leap in order to make this process more efficient.…

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.

Back to Search from Send to Record Set
When you create a search to then send to record set we would like option to go Back to Search. Sometimes we only grab part of the initial results into a record set and we would like to go back to the larger list to grab additional items to add into a completely different record set.
Some lists are too long or we want them split up for multiple staff to manage and having these results in different record sets helps with that.

Ability for staff to bulk change a patron's pickup branch
Staff would like to be able to bulk change a patron's pickup branch for selected (or all) holds on the patron's account. Be they holds already trapped, suspended or active. We often have patrons that move from one part of the area to another and need to change their holds to reflect their new pickup branch. Having to change one hold at a time is tedious.

Add a note when declaring an item lost on a customer account
When declaring an item lost on a customer account, there is no way to add more to the note on the resulting lost item charge. All that is in the note field is "Declared Lost". It is sometimes important to give more context to the charge and that is why being able to add a note would help!

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.)

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…

Control staff access to the Label Manager in Leap
Label printing can be a limited function in a large library system, using specialized printers to perform the task. Consistency is also important in the spine label. By being able to control access to this utility, it will ensure a better spine label product across a library system.

Combine items and statistics on bib record
Please combine the items and the statistics on the bib record into one section so that we can see circ stats and item status without having to click multiple areas. We need this data to help us determine whether an item should be transferred from another branch, repaired, or replaced. Attached is how it looks in Staff Client, and it would be great if we could see this view in LEAP.

Leap - Receipt WYSIWYG editor
Currently, there is no way to adjust receipts. We only have the option of which fields and we are not allowed to put those fields in an order that suits our workflow. We would love to see Leap have a WYSIWYG editor so each library can configure font size, fields, etc. for each receipt.

Increase customizability of check out receipts, to include graphic or image
We have locations that would like greater options for customizing checkout receipts. In particular, they would like to add an image at the bottom -- a library logo, or a graphic version of the library name, or a periodically changeable "word bubble" graphic promoting upcoming activities at the library.

Allow separate text alignment for labels with two parts
When working with an SL4 or any label type that has a spine and pocket label, allow for alignment to vary between the spine portion and pocket portion. This is important for how we label our picture books. We center align the first 3 letters (with linebreaks) of the author's name. Setting alignment to center also center aligns the pocket label. Attempting to manually adjust spacing by using spaces in left alignment is not ideal with letters like "I" not really being centered. See below:
Center alignment issue:
S
I
