  1. Having to open each item record to see the stats of each item is alot of work. It would be nice to have the ability to see the stats upon the search results and maybe as an item filter option.

    It is possible in Leap to configure the item find tool to display both year to date and lifetime circulation counts in the search results so that you don't have to open each individual item record to check those statistics. 

    Here is a link to the help file on how to configure what columns appear in the Leap find tool: https://documentation.iii.com/leap/7.5/Default.htm#LEAP1_0/Specify_columns_for_sear.htm?

  2. One of our member libraries recently asked us to add this as a possible enhancement request to provide a more specific use for certain library cards. They stated, "We have been discussing the potential of providing internet-only cards as an option to our patrons. Ideally they would be used to access our computers and digital resources, but would not be used to borrow any physical items such as books. We feel there are many patrons who would benefit from this. Is this a possibility?"

  3. Currently when we print a hold slip for an item that is filling a hold where a pickup area was selected, we don't see the pickup area anywhere on the hold slip (see screenshot where "Curbside" was selected as the pickup area for that library). Can it be added so staff know where the item is being picked up?

  4. Currently, we can't use the Pickup Areas functionality in Leap because it is enabled at the system level only (except for the PAC part) and once it's enabled it's ALL pickup areas or none of them - it doesn't allow a library to disable pickup areas in Leap OR to enable, say, Curbside, but not Locker, as a pickup area, if both are added system-wide. We need each library to be able to enable or disable Pickup Areas in Leap AND enable ONLY the specific pickup areas from the list that they offer. This enabling of specific Pickup Areas a…

  5. It would be beneficial to have the option of cancelling a hold for which the filling item has already moved to an in-transit status. This way, once the item is received at the destination, when it is checked in instead of going on the holds shelf it would either fill the next applicable hold or go in-transit back to the owning library.

  6. The default font size for ORS packing lists, however, is 14. At my library, the vast majority of our patrons prefer large print materials, so a size 14 font is a bit too small. For accessibility purposes, it would make sense for the ORS Packing List to default to an 18pt font, which would be in line with large print standards.

    This is not something that we can change ourselves in Polaris, so for several of my outreach patrons, I copy/paste the Packing List into a Word document, then increase the font size manually. While effective, it is time consuming…
