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.

Retain load-all after making changes in a record set
Provide an option to retain the load-all after making changes in a record set. Currently if you load all, then make a change, it reloads the limited set of records.

Apply sort to all records in record set
Just as bulk change applies to all the records in a record set (whether they are all loaded or not), sorting should apply to all the records, not just the ones that are initially loaded.

Allow staff to add supplier records without allowing them to modify the Postal Codes table
When staff add Supplier records, they currently are required to have the "Modify Postal Address Fields" permission. This means that they can add any postal code/city combination into the address and, if it is not already in the Postal Codes table, it will automatically be added there. This allows staff to add incorrect data into the Postal Codes table, which then allows circulation staff to accidentally select those options when adding new patron accounts. We would like to see Supplier records have the same option as Patron records, where we can lock staff down so that they can only select…

Save and Action items in bib MARC workform (Leap)
The MARC views for most full bib records are longer than the screen and require scrolling when editing. It would be helpful if the Save (and other important actions) either stayed available at the top of the page (as they do in the compare tool) or were repeated at the bottom of the record. This would save having to scroll back to the top of the record to select Save, Duplicate Check, etc.

Add save option to "close without saving" pop-up
In Leap, when item or bib records are closed after edits have been made, the warning pop-up the options are to close without saving or to cancel the close action. In the client, (and in Leap patron records) the pop-up includes an option to save & close, which is probably the intended action most of the time.
Having to click to cancel the close, then click to save, then click to close again, is a lot of extra steps.7 votes -

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…5 votes -
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.

Show Pickup Area in Held view of Request Manager
Libraries that are configured to use pickup areas such as lockers, drive-up windows, etc, need to be able to see the pickup areas via the Request Manager's "Held" view. This will help libraries distinguish and manage items that are on the library's holds shelf and those that have been placed in the pickup locker.
Currently, in the patron's holds view, either the pickup branch or the pickup area are displayed in a column, no matter the status of the hold. This column of information is also available in the Pending view of the Picklist. See attached. Please bring this information…3 votes -
delete all permission groups from staff account
It would be helpful to be able to select all permission groups in a staff account and delete from PolarisSA. This exists in the client. When a staff member changes positions, we copy the new set of permission groups from an existing account, but first we delete all their existing permissions in case they have something they will no longer need. In PolarisSA, this requires deleting each permission group individually.

Add Date to Dated Note in Search Results, Simply Reports, etc.
We'd like to see the date of dated notes be displayed on search results, in a record set, and also available as criteria in a Simply Report search. We'd like to use this tool for things like specific waiver expiration dates that do not coincide with patron expiration dates, among other things. By displaying the date in the search results we'll be able to quickly take a bulk action based on dates.

Polaris Leap: Popup/Prompt for Patron Blocks
Currently, in the desktop client, when opening a checkout window and entering a patron's barcode, if the selected patron has blocks, a window pops up and prompts the user to continue or cancel the interaction. This is not present in the checkout workflow in Polaris Leap, so it is possible for circulation staff to miss important information if they do not open the "Blocks" button before every interaction. Is it possible for an optional feature to be added to notify circulation staff about patron blocks before a transaction?

Allow Patron Merge Directly From Duplicate Patron Records Pop-Up
Currently, Leap will surface any potential duplicate accounts when you go to save a patron record based on the configured criteria. Unfortunately, it's not particularly actionable and, while it is nice that you can click the other account names to pull up the full record, it requires a lot of back and forth to confirm information on one account or another before performing an independent Merge action... which is to say that most staff aren't likely to perform an account merge in the moment and probably won't come back to it later... I think this could be remedied by allowing…

split screen in patron record fix
There are times when staff will have a split screen when working in a patron account (ex: puling patron account info to fill out a separate form), but with how the screen looks in that function, it can be difficult to navigate. Particularly because the left hand menu gets interlaid over the information fields. Ideally, the image on the screen would adjust with the size of the screen- allowing for a (smaller version) of the full screen to be viewable or at least the ability to scroll over or down more easily.

Include Hold Bulk Change in Background Processing
Polaris 8.1 introduced Bulk Changs within the Request Manager. However, when a bulk change is made, the only verification the user receives is a message that tells the user how many holds were changed. It would be beneficial (and would follow Polaris' bulk change practices) to include the results in the Background Processing function.

Edit selfcheck material type table by org
While Selfcheck Item Blocks, Patron Blocks, and the Patron/Material Type table rules can be edited and applied at any organizational level, the Selfcheck Material Types table appears to only be editable from the system level. In the PolarisSA, it is only available at the system level. In the client, it can be edited from any org, but the changes apply across the system. This is an area where there are likely to be different requirements at the library or even branch level, it would be very helpful to be able to adjust it as needed.

Leap Reports & Notices: Add exporting in Excel
Currently, the new Reports & Notices inside Leap works great, except that it will only export to PDF.
Now, you can change the URL manually, swapping out PDF for EXCEL, but that's 1. a little tedious and 2. a little confusing for some of our staff.
It would be better if, like the staff client and SSRS, there was an option to select which format you want the report in.

Pick list prioritization based on floating load limits
Enable the pick list to prioritize filling holds in floating collections from branches where the number of items on the shelf at that location is the highest and/or over the load limit for that collection.

Leap: Keep cursor focus in barcode box after receipt print OR tie RFID to different shortcut
Currently, when checking in, if you have the barcode box selected, you can click Enter on the keyboard to RFID scan. But, when you have to print a receipt, even if you click Enter to just choose yes, the focus doesn't go back to the barcode box so you have to mouse back over.
This is a minor but constant annoyance. In the desktop staff client, F9 was the keyboard shortcut to trigger RFID scans, so it didn't matter what part of the app was in focus.
