leap acquisition
I am writing to request an enhancement for the Leap Acquisitions module. Currently, the system does not allow users to copy fund allocation numbers.
When adjusting funds, the Encumbrance and Expenditure Fund Balance Limits often do not update automatically. This requires me to manually re-type the "Total Allocated" amount into six different limit fields. Manually entering the same 6-digit or 7-digit numbers multiple times is not only time-consuming but also creates a significant opportunity for manual entry errors.
Could you please update the system to allow copying from the "Total Allocated" line and pasting into the limit fields? This small…

Ability to create a child record in Leap and link to the child record
In Leap, the parent/child item relationship is currently limited and does not support full navigation or management between linked records. To support a complete workflow in Leap, the following enhancements are needed:
- Add the ability to link from a parent item record to its associated child item record (currently, linking is only possible from child to parent).
- Add the ability to create a child item directly from an existing item record.
These features are essential for fully managing parent/child item relationships within Leap.

Non-blocking Note limit Increase
We have recently been coming up against an error when adding additional notes to the Non-blocking notes field. There is a current character limit of 4,000 characters that's not noted anywhere I could find on the help section. Can this character limit be updated, as there are many instances where notes need to be kept for historical purposes?

LEAP: Pop-up when paying for an outside library's item
Allow for a pop-up when paying for an outside library's item, e.g. 'this is not your library's item, would you like to pay for it' hit continue or cancel, similar to when you're trying to scan a requested item that is meant for another patron. There have been times when a patron comes to pay for another library's item in cash, and unless the staff member checks to make sure that it's only overdue fees or fees that pertains to their particular library, they keep that outside library's payment. They then have to reimburse the item-owning library or the item-owning…

Allow us to change Circ Status to Withdrawn without checking the item in first.
It can be confusing when staff look at the history for an item and it says it was Checked in/Available and then it shows it as Withdrawn. This happens when we are preparing bills and we need to withdraw an item with the Circulation Status of Lost/Damaged/Replacement cost before we can bill the other library. It would be nice to open the Item Record for the specific item and declare it Withdrawn. I would suggest that a BIG RED BOX pop up and say "YOU ARE GETTING READY TO DECLARE THIS ITEM WITHDRAWN. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?" …

Bulk Change Serials Issue Records Status
Offer the ability to bulk update Serials issue records to a new status. We order multiple copies of most serials, and currently we have to open each issue to change it from "Claimed" or "Pending Claim" to "Not Available" when the vendor cannot supply it.

020 Field Character Limit Should Exceed 50 Characters & Not Reject Placing an Item On Order
We are having manually placed orders rejected because the 020 field for large print books sometimes exceeds the 50 character limit. Polaris/Leap will accept 020 fields that are up to 49 characters, but not for OCLC MARC records that have extended to 54 characters. This happens whether we are attaching to an existing record in Polaris/Leap or for a new one imported from OCLC/Connexion. It seems completely arbitrary that 49 characters are accepted, but 54 characters -- just a few over the limit -- are not. Thanks for looking into & considering this request.

Leap: include examples for pub pattern creation
Staff find the examples provided in the client helpful when creating a new pub pattern. It would be great to see the same in Leap.

Leap: link from invoice line item to holds queue
The client has a direct link from the invoice line items to the holds queue. In Leap, getting to the queue requires going through the item (and sometimes bib).

Leap: links from funds
In the client, funds link directly to invoices, POs, POLIs, and other related records. Funds in Leap have very few links. Direct linking to working acq records facilitates tech services workflows.

Leap: cancel from POLI workform
In the client, a POLI can be cancelled from the PO, POLI view or from within the POLI workform. In Leap, it can only be cancelled from the PO, POLI tab. Adding the ability to cancel from the POLI workform would reduce steps and reduce the likelihood of staff selecting the wrong POLI to cancel. This would help with the transition of tech services to Leap.

Merge Claimed and Received Issues in Leap
Can the Serials Check-In Utility in Leap allow the merging of claimed and received issues? This functionality currently exists in the desktop client. This is a barrier to getting staff in both tech services and service desks to move Serials work over to Leap.

Invoice links to POLIs
In the client, staff often use the link to individual purchase order line items, but this is not yet available in Leap. Because an invoice may have many linked POs, and POs may have many POLIs, it can be difficult to find the correct POLI without access to direct links.
Adding POLI links would reduce friction for tech services staff making the move to Leap.

Powerpac in web PolarisAdmin - Include assign/remove button in Web part editor
In the web PolarisAdmin, provide a button in "Dashboards: Web part editor: User defined" to assign/remove the web part directly to web pages.
Subsequent idea: Provide an option to assign/remove a web part to all web pages.
Subsequent idea: Provide an option to mark web pages as favorites or frequently used so we can quickly add/remove the web part to a set of web pages. E.g., Apply the updated Closure Notice to default.aspx, login.aspx, patronaccount/default.aspx, patronaccount/itemsout.aspx, etc.Idea Value
Offering this button would streamline the process of adding/updating the web part and immediately assigning/removing the part to its relevant pages.…2 votes -
Powerpac editing
Allow PowerPAC to lock independently of the other Polaris Admin features (client and web PolarisAdmin).
PowerPAC editing is locked when another SysAdmin is using the Administration Explorer. My primary responsibilities in the client are to update the PowerPAC, especially notes for upcoming library closures (holidays, staff development day).
Idea value
Provides uninterrupted workflow for primary SysAdmin to continue working when the web services focused SysAdmin needs to update the PowerPAC dashboard elements/layout.1 vote -

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).
