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.

Add 'Hold Activated/Created" to item history
It would be useful to have in the item history when a hold was activated. I had an instance where an item was put on hold for the wrong account, and it would have been useful to see who had placed the hold or where it had been added. I figure you can see this from the hold record, but the staff member who had received the accidental holds cancelled them before we got a chance to look at it.

Checkin Lost Item as Damaged
If an item has a "lost" status, and is returned damaged we are unable to change the status to "damaged" via the check-in damaged option (must be in/out for damaged check-in to be used). This would be helpful for situations where the patron returns an item that was declared lost (either automatically by being +30 days overdue or manually) and then later found and returned to the library via drop box, to be able to demonstrate the item was returned damaged with no previous poor condition notes on the item.

System auto-capping late fees/fines
Our system does not currently have late fees on most of the collection. But for the collections we do, we have a max that we will charge in late fees for items returned on the same day per patron. It would be nice if we could set up for the system to automatically waive fees for overdue items that exceed that amount.

Improving full-screen editing for MARC records
Make full-screen editing more easily usable. One example: deleting multiple fields at once.
Make it possible to add fields ANYWHERE, not only after a similar type of field (i.e. fixed fields--why can't I add them anywhere?).

Make it possible to save / share Power Searches in Leap outside of the individual level
Enhance operational efficiency and standardization by allowing the saving of Leap power searches beyond individual staff profiles. Currently, saved power searches reside only at the personal level, hindering consistent workflows and leading to duplicated effort. Enabling system- or library-level saving for power searches will allow libraries to establish shared, robust searches, improving consistency and ensuring critical search capabilities remain accessible regardless of staff changes.

Improve the Request Manager
Our staff complete weekly and monthly checks on hold requests to ensure our customer holds are being fulfilled in a timely manner.
To do so, staff check the hold status (Active vs Inactive), age of the hold against the hold type (item or bib level), number of available copies, and number of holds in the bib level queue. This requires staff to open item/bib records and return to the Request Manager list frequently, and can mean the review lasts over several days, making it hard to track where they were in the queue when they had to pause in the…

Easy renewal for all association members
My staff mentioned that they would like it if we are renewing a patron account, we could have the option to renew all accounts it has an association with at the same time. Ex: If Jane Doe comes into renew, we can have the option with the click of a button to automatically renew John, Jim and Jill Doe's accounts as well. That way all members of a family can be updated at the same time more easily.

Stacked Sorting
We would like the ability to do stacked sorting in searches and record sets. This would allow the user to sort by one aspect and then another with it stacked (eg. sorting by pub date and then call number, so you see items within a call number in pub date order). In both searches and record sets, it only seems to sort by the current choice, meaning the way it's sorted within that one type is random (or alphabetical by title, which isn’t always the most useful).

Search Sorting
As we move libraries away from the client to Leap, they are finding a few things that are missing that made their lives easier. One is to be able to choose how a search is sorted prior to the search happening.

Generate patron barcodes outside of self-registration
Polaris should be able to generate barcodes outside of self-registration. Sometimes you want to generate barcodes without relying on a physical card that already has a barcode printed on it. Polaris already can do this because it does it for self-registration cards. So it should be able to occur on demand.

patron account edit history
I would like there to be a way to see who has interacted with a patron account, in the same way there is a history on an item record. Today we were trying to see who had made a specific change to a patron account, but because someone else had fixed it already, we couldn't. So, if we had a list like the item history, where we could see who had been in and what had been done, we could more easily know who to contact and train on an issue.

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.

Return to where you were in your record set list after closing an item record from the record set
When I am working in a long record set and open an item record and then close it again, it returns me to the top of the record set. I would really like it to return me to where I was in the list to more easily continue my work.

Bookmobile address locations for hold pickup
Bookmobiles move around. When customers get the holds notice, the address listed on the notice is usually the bookmobile home address. The customer shows up only to find that the bookmobile isn't home. We have pickup locations for the customer to choose from in the PAC, but they do not have addresses assigned to them. If they did, we would want that address to be used on the holds notice. Can this be a LX starter and/or Polaris enhancement for Bookmobile.

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.

Remove Notification Options for Staff
Our Library will soon no longer be offering phone notification. I'd like the ability added to remove notification types (Phone 1,Phone 2 etc) from the staff interface so a invalid choice is not longer available. However, we'd still like the ability to record that information in the patron registration if needed.

Switch to a yellow or red toast for return uncirculated INN-Reach items via the Check In function (7.7)
In 7.7, we now have the option to do INN-Reach check in, which is phenomenal! It has sped up this process immensely, making for happier staff and patrons.
However, the speed has brought with it some unexpected snags: The biggest at present being the color of the 'return uncirculated' toast as compared to normal INN-Reach processing.
Using Request Manager to receive INN-Reach items, the note that a 'patron no longer wants this item' was thrown front and center using standard Polaris work form coloration (which necessitated a more thorough reading of popups). If an item was still desired by a…

Ability to input OCLC number directly into hold to be converted to ILL
When inputting information for an ILL request for a patron, our ILL clerk would like there to be a field where she can input the OCLC number of the item she is wanting directly into the hold request. That way when she exports the request, it will directly sync with the item she wants, without having to use ISBN.

Put Leap Column Find Tool display settings in alphabetical order or make filterable
If you are adjusting the column settings for Leap, the list of available options is not in alphabetical order. This makes it easier to overlook what options might be available to select.
As a former page, please put this in alphabetical order OR make the list filterable/searchable.
