Label Manager Subfields
Please update Label Manager to restrict the Content option of Author from including subfields 0 and 1 when printing. These are relatively new fields for linked data. We would like to retain the data without have to manually deleting it in Label Manager to print pocket labels. They are valid in MARC21 and should be retained to future-proof our records for if and when Polaris makes use of linked data.

Service Name Logging in PatronValidate API
This proposal outlines an extension to the Patron Validation API to include an optional serviceName parameter. When provided, this value will be recorded in the Integrated Library System (ILS) transaction log, allowing us to track which service initiates each patron validation request.
Currently, the ILS transaction log records patron validations without capturing which service initiated the request. This lack of context makes it difficult to analyze traffic from third-party services (e.g., OverDrive, Hoopla) or internal applications, troubleshoot validation spikes, and make informed decisions about service contracts and resource allocation.
The proposed solution is to modify the Patron Validation API to…

Increase customizability of check out receipts, to include graphic or image
We have locations that would like greater options for customizing checkout receipts. In particular, they would like to add an image at the bottom -- a library logo, or a graphic version of the library name, or a periodically changeable "word bubble" graphic promoting upcoming activities at the library.

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.

Floating Close button in Patron Registration
Could we have it so the close button within the Patron Registration follows you as you scroll down like the "Save", "Renew", etc do? I often find myself nowhere near the top when I am done with a customer account and have to navigate all the way back up just to close the record. I could see this also being useful in Bib records

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.

Add last patron modification date and modifier name to Patron Reporting
Adding the patron modification date and the name of the last modifier of a patron record would allow staff to narrow down when records were modified and by whom. The ability to track these changes would be particularly useful to Outreach staff who may need the statistical information about patron records they modified while working off site. Ideally, this addition should be added to the report outputs in SimplyReports and added to Leap as well so that public service staff can easily access this information. In Leap, adding Last Modification Date and User to the list of keyword fields in…

Change $ amount in POLI
At times our vendors send us a substitution for the item we ordered. It would be helpful to be able to change the dollar amount in the POLI when this happens so that the encumbered funds accurately reflect what is on order.

A note field that pops up at check out and check in
We need a note field in the item record that pops up as a warning box at check out and check in for notes that staff and patron may need to act on before checking out and in. Notes such as "Patron needs to sign a hold harmless form." Or the price of this piece of the kit is $250.00. Or "Item must be returned to this library." Staff should be able to close the window once they have read it.
20 votesUpdating this to under review. We have plans to add an "alert note" on patron records but need to evaluate on items. I accidently updated the wrong idea (between the two).

Leap Picklist does not retain Filtered results when using the located option
The Leap Picklist has the option to filter the results by collection and other values to limit the display to a manageable number. However when you interact with one of the results such as marking it as Located, you lose the filtering. The desired improvement would be to maintain the filter as actions are taken until you clear the filter.

Combined Notes and Dated Notes into one tab
Hi there,
When both Notes and Dated Notes are enabled, please just display them under one tab. It's tedious to have to check both tabs (notes for legacy notes, dated notes for new ones). It'd be better to be able to see all notes in one place.
Thanks!

Let patrons see cancelled holds
A patron said that it would be useful if they could see, as a logged-in patron, holds that had been cancelled due to them not coming to pick them up in time. It would be great if this also allowed patrons to reactivate the hold from there. Thank you for considering this.

Independent Manage Item Records Tool
First, let me say that I think the Manage Item Records tool found on the Check In screen is good. For basic item edits, it is superior to editing via the Item Details screen in many ways. It has better permission controls, better item history logging (see attached image if you're unfamiliar with this), and allows edits to more than one item at a time (a lighter, more intuitive version of Item Bulk Changes). That said, I think a few changes could take this tool from "good" to "great".
First, I think that having an independent option on the Check…

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…

A way to customize pop up notices
Various popups appear in Polaris via the client or Leap. Some are pretty clear in what the reminder or error message is about and some popups are not.
I am requesting a way to customize the text and title (Leap only has this visible) to make it more clear for our staff to understand either the popup reminder or the popup error with a little more explanation.
Example for Popup Reminder: Via the client we have a popup reminder about "reminder notices option is email. Do you want to continue?". This occurs when we leave the email field blank per…
