Add "create fee" endpoint to the API
The API currently doesn't have a way to add a fee to a patron account. The use case where we'd want this is that we use a third party for online self-registration. They offer t he ability to differentiate between resident and non-resident accounts, but to use the non-resident option, we'd need to have a fee added when the account was created.

Search Results Page number options
Patrons don't have much options when paging through many pages of search results and have requested the ability to navigate through page numbers. As an example, if there are 100 page results, patrons can only go to next page, last page, first page or previous page. They want to be able to manually enter a page number (for example page 72) to go to that page of results. Switching to total results per page default from 10 to 100 doesn't help with a large number of results.

Polaris API Making Lists Sortable By Title
A customer contacted us recently and asked if we could possibly add a feature where lists can be sorted alphabetically by title. Since this functionality isn't currently available in the API, I wonder if it could be added?

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.

Allow libraries to reset staff accounts that are locked out
There are a few scenarios where staff don't remember their exact password and get themselves locked out of LEAP: they are adjunct staff who work infrequently, they have just returned from a long vacation, or simply have brain freeze. In these cases, they open a support ticket, and I would like to be able to reset their account so that they can log in immediately, the same way I can now clear an object lock on an item that someone needs to use. Thanks for considering!

Improve Visual UI of Leap screens
Many screens in Leap are awash with 1px borders, which make it difficult to visually distinguish different areas of the system because of the "noise".
While there are lots of ares for UI improvement across Leap, this one might be an easy win, as shown in the side by side screenshots.

When logging into Leap make the focus on the Continue button
When you are logging into Leap on a machine where you've already logged in, a cookie is set that pre-fills the Branch and workstation. However, you canNOT simply hit enter to continue through this screen because the focus is on the workstation drop down.
This is a request to make it focus on the Continue button when you've already logged in on this browser to make the login process more seamless.

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.

Allow incremental Claim Count reset
Reset Claim Count is currently all or nothing. We need the ability to reduce the claim count incrementally. This would help in situations where we actually find a bona fide claim return on our shelf for a customer who otherwise has a pattern of making false claims. We want to be able to clear that incident from the claim count without having to reset to zero.

Make it easier to filter the list of SQL Searches in Find Tool
We have dozens of SQL searches, however it can be hard to find them. They are presented in an alphabetical list, but over the years our naming isn't always consistent. It would be great if you could filter the name drop-down like you filter can in other areas of Leap.
So, for example, if I typed "volume" it would show many any SQL search with Volume in the name. Bonus points might be if we could also be searching some of the SQL search contents itself because maybe I want to find all SQL searches that query a particular field…

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

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.

Bookmobile address locations for hold pickup
Bookmobiles move around. When customers get the holds notice, the address listed on the notice is usually the bookmobile home address. The customer shows up only to find that the bookmobile isn't home. We have pickup locations for the customer to choose from in the PAC, but they do not have addresses assigned to them. If they did, we would want that address to be used on the holds notice. Can this be a LX starter and/or Polaris enhancement for Bookmobile.

Update Language Field in Item Bulk Change
The Language field was added to Polaris in 7.4 (I believe). The only way to update the Language field is to manually update each item record manually. As you can imagine, that is very time-consuming. It would be ideal if our Collection Management department could pull the appropriate item records into a record set and then do a batch update of the Language field.

Add a running total to the Fiscal Year - Funds tab
Add a running total to the Fiscal Year - Funds tab - FREE BALANCE column.

Include Active Directory in web-based System Administration
The current method for changing a Polaris Staff Member's password is clunky and not ideal if part of a large library system. Additionally, all SA management is moving towards the web-based interface. It makes sense to incorporate staff password management into the SA web-based interface.

Include 024 tags in ISBN index
Please expand the search functionality to include searching and pulling results for both the 024#a MARC tag, as well as 020#a
Functionally this will improve searches as results will include hits on an ISBN whether it's in 020 or 024

Add a parameter field for input to SQL searching
Could you please look into providing an input field on SQL Find tool searches to allow the library staff to easily enter a search parameter e.g. an items barcode, a patron barcode.
At the moment with the SQL FIND TOOL searches we have created, we must teach them to go to the WHERE clause and correctly change the parameter before re-executing the query.
A dedicated entry parameter would simplify the use and training of SQL searching using the FIND tool.8 votes
