Ability to select and delete multiple records in FIND Tool results
Staff client allows you to delete a record and record sets from a set of search results, however, Leap requires clicking into each record, then clicking Actions and then clicking delete (or putting them all in a record set). Right now I'm cleaning up some old record sets. If I were doing this in the client, I have the ability to select multiple record sets within my results list and then right click to delete them in bulk. This would be a game changer in Leap.

Reporting Groups for Collection Codes / Material Types (reporting only)
Add a reporting-only way to map Collection Codes and/or Material Types into any number of user-defined reporting groups, with many-to-many membership. Grouping logic should live in a maintained mapping table (not hardcoded in reports) so changes update all dependent reports automatically.
Problem
Only staff with database access can currently create sequel/SQL mapping tables (e.g., MapCollection, MapMaterialType) for flexible rollups. Others must regroup exports manually, which is inconsistent and fragile.
Provide a UI-managed “Reporting Groups” feature that acts like a built-in mapping/lookup table:
• Many-to-many: one code can belong to multiple groups; groups can contain multiple codes.
• Reporting-only: no impact…21 votes -

Leap: quickly copy line items
One impediment for our processing staff in moving to Leap is the lack of the ability to quickly copy a line item in Leap (here's the process in the client: https://documentation.iii.com/polaris/7.6/#PolarisStaffHelp/Acquisitions/PAorder/Copy_a_purchase_order_line_item.htm)
The same process in Leap involves several more steps:
1.Go back to the PO
2. click new line item
3.fill out line item details
4. click on segments
5. click new segment
6. fill out Collection Code and FundA quicker way to get through a PO would be if we could add the same segment to all of the line items at once, e.g click the check…

Include Call Number Field in SIP Item Information Response (18) Message
No that we have migrated from Sierra to Polaris, the call number field is not included in the SIP response when using an inventory wand. At this point we only see the barcode and title of an item, which makes it more difficult to find identified items.

Hold type Record Set
I would love to be able to create a Record Set of Holds. There are times when we need to bulk edit hold data because of library closures, etc. Being able to bulk change that data and store that data would be immensely helpful.

Add series info when linking
Currently, if I want to add series information for a book in the item record when I link it, I would need to put it in the volume field. It'd be nice if there was an easy way to indicate if a book is part of a series and where it falls in the series without it creating a super long call number. Series info isn't standardized when it comes from publishers and isn't always included in the MARC record. This does make a difference for my patrons to know if a book is part of a series and would…

Ability to view Bib circulations (Statistics) by year complete history, rather than just YTD & Previous Year
Being able to see a more complete circulation statistics for the lifetime of a title gives selection staff a more complete picture of the use of a title, in order to make better decisions about purchasing future titles by an author or in a series.

Include an "X"/close button on workform tracker records
Sometimes I have a lot of records open in the workform tracker, and it's a pain to have to go into each to close it. It would be useful to have a button I could quickly click to close them instead.
In cases where a record has been modified it should generate a prompt about saving changes, and show you the record again in this case so it's clear what's being saved.

Change a 'Lost' status to 'Withdrawn' status (and eventually deleted) and still retain the bill on a patron's account
Do this by creating a record set and using 'Ad Hoc Bulk Change' or 'Bulk Change' to change the circulation status from 'Lost' to 'Withdrawn', retaining the bill and item information on the patron's account.

Viewing vs Modifying Authority Records
Frontline staff currently have an alert to click through when they view an Authority record. Could there be separated permission levels to allow staff to View an Authority Record without clicking through the pop-up, vs Modifying these records?

Bulk delete predicted serials issues in Leap
Can the Serials Check-In utility be updated to allow bulk deletion of predicted serials issues? When a weekly/bi-weekly publication changes the day of the week that issues are released, it is easier to update predicted issues in the desktop client* but staff without authorization to create prediction patterns cannot complete this work in Leap. This slows down access for community members.
*In the desktop client, staff can bulk delete all but one predicted issue, edit the remaining predicted issue to match the new publication date, and then bulk predict issues to match the new day of week without closing and…20 votes -
Preview for MARC Import
There should be a preview or staging phase when importing new MARC records where you can see what duplicates are detected, and what action will be taken based on the profile selected, and have the option to manually override the actions on each record (e.g. don't replace this specific one - just create a second record instead)

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.

Allow offline Leap to show the patron name when their card is scanned
Please make it possible for offline Leap to display the patron name when their barcode is scanned for an offline checkout. This is available in toolbar offline, and I'm sure it would be tricky to configure, since Leap is browser-based, but we just used Leap offline for the first time during our latest upgrade, and the biggest comment I've received is the lack of the patron name during checkout.

Control column display in item record history in Leap
Allow staff to customize the display of columns in the item record history, as they can in the display of search results. For example, our staff have pointed out that for each action the item's assigned branch displays prominently, but it is less relevant that the "location" (i.e., the branch where the history action took place). They would find it much clearer and easier to use if they could control the order of those columns, and set it as Date / Location / User/WKS / Status / Action / Assigned Branch.

Add the ability to export records from OCLC to Leap using the OCLC gateway.
Sierra includes the ability export records directly from OCLC into Sierra using the OCLC gateway. This allows librarians to quickly make edits in OCLC using macros, and export those records to Sierra without actually affecting the master record in OCLC. Having this feature in Leap would be great.

Expired patron transition
We would like Polaris to transition expired patrons to Deleted after a specified time frame. (Such patrons would of course need to have no lost items or checkouts.) We envision this working like Lost Item Transition and the Missing Item Transition. Ideally, we could also set a fine threshold to only delete those expired patrons with less than a certain amount of fines on their cards.
Adding this feature would allow a library to automatically remove expired patrons and allow for a more streamline process for deleting the ones they wanted.
