Similar to the compare feature for bibliographic records, please implement a compare feature for authority records. This would be helpful when editing authority records in Leap.

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.

Support EAN for Syndetics Images
At this time, the EAN is not being used to add the images from Syndetics to the PowerPAC or Vega. There are many products that have EANs instead of UPCs. Many libraries have been requesting that images be added for these products so that patrons can have an idea of what the item is before they check it out. We have asked Syndetics about it and they do have the images for these products. In fact, the images are appearing in Leap. Given that the images are available, the PowerPAC and Vega should have this capability. It will enhance the…

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.

Ability to mark an item Missing or Damaged if it not owned or assigned to branch
In our 21-branch library system, staff need the ability to mark items as Damaged or Missing—even if the item is not owned or assigned to their specific branch. Currently, the process requires multiple logins and workstation changes, creating inefficiencies that impact service.
We've encountered lots of item management issues since migrating from SirsiDynix Symphony. Most recent issue was with handling lost-and-returned items. Specifically, when a customer returns a lost item to a branch that does not own it, and the item is damaged, staff struggle to process it effectively. Our policy requires holding damaged items for six months in case…

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.

"Patron has holds" popup when check out workform OPENS instead of when first item is scanned
We are upgrading to 7.7 and have just decided to NOT turn on the new feature that suppresses non-blocking 'blocks' such as the 'patron has holds' popup block.
Ellie K. submitted a related request here: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/49700207-remove-pop-up-about-holds-on-shelf-when-checking-o to suppress the block if the first item being scanned for checkout is a hold from the current branch.
We'd like to take this a step further and suggest the block appear when the check out workform is opened. This achieves the purpose of the block (triggering staff to alert the patron that holds are available) without even getting into whether the transaction that…

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.

Record Set Default Owner
Every time I create a record set, the Owner is defaulting to the first branch that I have the permission to create a record set for. It would be great to make the Owner to default to assigned or logged into branch.

It would be nice if the Leap Find Tool window could be enlarged to full screen.

Call Number Scheme Menu in Item Records
We use only two call number schemes in item records, either “Dewey Decimal” or “Other”. I wonder if it is possible to hide the rest of the schemes from the dropdown menu in item records. This will reduce the chances of accidental selection of an incorrect scheme.

Provide additional details to PowerPAC usage statistics
The PowerPAC usage statistics provide a minimal view of the patron's use of our PowerPAC. We also use Vega Discover and cannot accurately compile information between them and with other platforms.
Examples to include/add: Total visits, total unique visitors, total searches submitted.

Item counts on PO and Invoice Headers
It would be beneficial to have a total item count in the header of POs and Invoices for quick reference. Currently there is no easy way to get this count from a PO or Invoice because there is not even a row count column under the items view.

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.

Bibliographic consistency check when editing bibs
In cleaning up bibliographic data after years of laissez faire cataloguing practice, we have run into a consistent stumbling block that requires us to backtrack. Certain bytes, especially in the 007 and 008 fields appear to require consistency across them to properly read at an item level (we became aware of this when getting red toasts scanning items for a weeding record set, that appeared initially to be in the inclusion criteria).
By way of example: If you input in 007 an 01 byte of 'd - Videodisc', than the 04 byte would have to be 'g' 'h' 's' or…

Staff choice in error report output from "add from" function
In playing around with Weeding-type record sets, we have noted the following: using the action "add from Item Record set" yields, as its error report output, a list of item-level control numbers.
If you "add from file", the error report output is item barcodes - a way of searching for items that comes a bit more intuitively to our desk staff.
It would save us a couple processing steps to avoid importing from files, so we would love to use the "add from item record set" feature - however, the control number output for problem items (those that are outside…

Integrate cloudLibrary with both Polaris and BiblioCommons
We recently began integrating Polaris with cloudLibrary in an effort to keep our collection more up-to-date and have patrons' Polaris accounts reflect their cloudLibrary borrowing. Unfortunately, our results have been inconsistent because while the Polaris/cloudLibrary connection works, there is not a fluid integration between Polaris, cloudLibrary, and BiblioCommons, where patrons are also able to check out cloudLibrary titles. We would like to see full integration between all three vendors so that transactions on any platform are properly communicated to the others.

Notes Alert on Polaris Client Checkout Window
We would like the notes icon on the patron Check Out – [patronID] - Normal – Polaris window to have the alert color change like you see on The Patron Status - [patronID] – General – Polaris window and other Patron record windows? We see that Leap has the color change of its Notes icon on its checkout page. Our landing window for opening a patron record is the Check Out – Normal – Polaris window and it would be helpful to have that notes icon change color like the other patron record windows.

Report for staff user or workstation transactions
We could use a report based on staff user and/or workstation listing all transactions made for a given date range. Most importantly for us, cataloging information which could provide date and time of bib records being created and/or modified as well as circulation information for staff who work the circ desk.

Error message when failing to add items to record set in Leap
When you're scanning items into a record set in the client, and you scan (or mis-scan) an item that doesn't match an existing barcode, it returns an error: "No matching item record was found." When you're scanning items into a record set in Leap, though, you get no error message. If you're not paying close attention, you would assume the item was successfully added.
Ideally a red toast like the "This record set already contains this record" message (or the "no matching item record" message that pops up when doing inventory) would appear.
