Edit inventory date via a record set
We would like the ability to update the inventory date directly via a record set. Currently, to update the date for recently checked-in items, we must generate a text file of barcodes and upload it through the Check In - Inventory workform. We are hoping for a feature that allows us to edit inventory dates within a record set, similar to the 'edit due dates' function.

POLI ISBN search via remote databases in LEAP
When manually entering POs and POLIs in Leap, I want to be able to do an ISBN search via remote databases to pull in an on-order MARC as I do in the client.

Add "patron barcode for damaged item" option in SimplyReports
We would like to see a "Patron barcode for damaged item" option as an output column in SimplyReports, similar to the one available for Lost items called "Patron barcode for lost item". This would help us when running reports on Damaged items.

Block patrons with lost items from checking out on SIP2 selfcheck
We'd like to block patrons from checking out on selfcheck units if they have lost items. Even though Polaris SA has a configuration in place, that setting only works for API setup, not sip2. we'd like to have a similar setting for sip2.

Bulk edit serial status
Currently, when we need to edit a serial's status, it has to be done one at a time. We have multiple branches that all are scheduled to receive the same issue of a magazine. When the expected issue isn't published, due to a double or special issue instead, we have to edit each serial's status individually to "Never published". Adding serial specific fields where appropriate to bulk item edit would help this.

Replicate LEAP column setting customizations in the client
Cataloging staff using the client have to resize the columns of the find tool results every time they search bibs and items. They also would like to be able to add and remove columns from their default searches. In LEAP, they can add and remove columns and LEAP remembers when they resize a column. This functionality in the client would save them steps.

Add pickup area support to SimplyReports
You cannot output or filter on Hold Pickup Areas in SimplyReports. Not being able to report on them limits their usefulness for things like looking at which schools are busiest or which bookmobile stops are most active. The information is available in hold request data and in transaction details.
Although we can add it as a custom output that will only show the ID which is of limited value to staff.

Permission the volume field on item records
The volume field might seem straightforward, but when it's not standardized—or when anyone can input anything—it quickly becomes a source of frustration, especially with holds and sorting. Imagine a patron placing a hold on “Volume 2,” but one record says “v.2,” another says “Vol 2,” and another just “2”… chaos ensues.
Making that field permission-based could go a long way in preserving data consistency and reducing hold errors. It puts a bit more control in the hands of cataloging staff or system administrators

Show Due Date for ILLs in Request Manager
Our ILL clerk would like to be able to see the due date for ILLs from the request manager, so she can make sure that the dates have been added correctly to these items. She currently has to go into each item individually to make sure they were correct.

Ability to Export Individual Owned Record Sets
I had a coworker ask why she couldn't export her record set into excel to allow for more sortability. I was surprised she couldn't and began looking at documentation and noticed that there is that ability, but you have to change the owner of the record set to the branch or system level, which feels like an unnecessary step. I should be able to export a record set I am working on to Excel with my regular ownership without having the (slim) possibility of a coworker accidentally accessing and messing up anything.

Move Leap timeout setting to SA
We would like to be able to adjust the timeout in Leap after inactivity ourselves. Currently, we have to contact support to do this after each upgrade, since it resets itself. If the setting was in SA, we could reset it ourselves after each upgrade.

Ability to remove spaces from call numbers in Leap
When the callnumber column is pulled from itemrecorddetails via SQL (as opposed to SimplyReports) it includes trailing and leading spaces. It's easy to fix these unwanted spaces in the client, but they don't show up at all in Leap, so can't be fixed. If Leap is to replace the client eventually, it would be great to able to fully edit these fields in Leap (we are hosted, so can't easily modify the data via SQL).

Adding a "New" field in LEAP
Because new is both a location and a status, it would be helpful to have an item level field in LEAP that is for "new" items. A simple checkbox would be sufficient, like "holdable" or "display in PAC." This would free up shelf location for any items that are both new and in a specific area, such as Travel, World, Graphic, etc.

Ability to Bulk Un-Delete Bib Records in record set
In the Polaris client (we're on 7.6) we would love to be able to un-delete "half-deleted" bib records (any in "Delete" status).
We receive a monthly report of "Bibs without Item Records" for final weeding and we're finding many "half-deleted" bibs where staff have deleted the final copy on a record and clicked "delete" in the pop-up instead of "suppress from PAC".
We would like to be able to bulk change these Delete-status records back to Final so we can extra needed marc data (OCLC #s, primarily) and then properly double-delete them.

Vernacular script display for non-Roman language materials
MARC records for non-Roman language materials come to us from OCLC with the vernacular script in the 880 fields. Since that doesn't display in Polaris/Leap like we want it to, we have been using MARC edit to swap the 880 fields with the transliterations contained in the regular MARC fields. We are hoping there can be a better way, and Polaris can simply let us choose to use the 880 fields for display when they are present OR display the 880 information alongside the transliteration.
There are several places where the transliteration appears when we'd like the vernacular script to…

bulk add "stat code"
Be able to bulk add stat codes. Currently we can only add at the branch level manually because the library and system level tables are too large. This requires a manual change or contracting Polaris every time we want to add stat codes for all locations.

Allow libraries to customize info displayed in Leap Patron Record header and properties
We need a way to bring perennial critical patron info to staff attention without creating blocks for customers or forcing staff to open the full patron registration. Having this info in the patron record header or properties would be ideal. For example: at our library, customer registered at branch is not critical info yet it is the most prominent value displayed in the header after name and card number, if we could designate UDF values to take it's place (such as bookmobile stop or language assist needed) or have space to reveal a designated UDF value under patron properties, it…

Change default for Damaged Item Check-in
Currently the default option is to charge the patron when doing a damaged item check-in (see screenshot). We would like the default to either be changed to NOT charge the patron, or we would like to be given the option to choose the default ourselves so we can change it to what we want just for our consortium.

Weeding Record Set Functionality
The weeding workflow and weeding record sets were added to LEAP in Polaris 7.5. I would like some more functionality in the weeding record sets at all stages of the approval process -- namely being able to bulk change and delete records from the set, being able to remove records from an approved record set, and being able to unapprove a list.
I know there are options in the weeding template to change the record status to withdrawn and have the records automatically deleted when approved. However, we change our records to a status of "weeded" (we took over bindery)…
