Provide streamlined option for placing a group of customers on hold for the same group of titles
Our library has a program where we supply community members with books to read to classrooms. All readers receive the same set of 4-6 titles. While Polaris' function of placing everyone in a record set on hold for the same title helps, it would be great if, when the find tool pops up upon clicking Place Multiple Holds, you could change the database from Bibliographic to Record Set to simultaneously place all the customers in the patron record set on hold for all the titles in the bib record set.
With hundreds of readers across our 28 locations, having this…

Serials Holding Records - remove any closed patterns from the find tool search results.
We close a pattern in the Serial Holding Record when we are reducing the number of copies, or a serial has ceased publication.
It would be helpful if these closed patterns don't appear in the 'Find Tool - Serial Holdings Record' search return list.

Allow the 650 & 655 tags to be sorted alphabetically. When bringing in older MARC records there can be masses of duplicated headings. The ability to sort them alphabetically would make deleting them much easier.

Display Title Release Date if Future
On bib / item records, display the release date of titles when the title is not yet released. This will remind users to not make books available when they are received but not yet released. This info might not be in the typical metadata bundle but would be very useful to have.

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)

Provide way to fetch patron's credits using Polaris API
We have Polaris integrated with Teller to process patron payments. Within Teller, we would like to use Polaris patron credits as a form of payment. We have been talking to Teller about this, and we believe this can be achieved by getting patron credit information via the API. At present, the API only returns charges owed by a patron, not any credits a patron may have.

Bibliographic Record Call Tag Search
When using the Search tool and searching a bibliographic record, it would be nice if the "Call Tag" column used the actual call tags my library creates and not the 082 field. This could be similar to the search for Item Record.

Filter by Patron Selection Only in Outreach Services Utility
It would help speed things up if the way we can filter by Active and Inactive patrons for Outreach could also be done with the Patron Selection Only checkbox with something like a yes/no drop down. We could more easily focus on patrons that need the extra attention.

set catalog website for specific library
For library consortiums, it would be helpful for individual libraries to set their webpage catalog to just show items in their library. Patrons have the opportunity to put a REQUEST on items from their home library OR go to the full consortium catalog to see if an item is available and request an item from there. It is very confusing for patrons to see multiple items, e.g. a hardcover and paperback of the same book in the catalog. They request one but it may not be their library's copy. Wastes time and resources. We used to be able to do…

Expand Menu Options for My Account on Mobile Devices
Under the top level of the My Account tab on desktop, you see more information than you do under the top level of the My Account tab on mobile.
See attached screenshots.
I would like to see the same info on both.
Thanks.

Block e-resources but not renewals for non-residents
We would like to have an option where non-resident patron types have a blocking condition for e-resources, but it only limits e-resources. We would like for them to be able to still manage their online accounts and renew physical items, so the patron-initiated blocking condition does not work. Right now, that can only be done in CloudLibrary through SIP, not API.
1 voteI think this idea needs some clarification. Are you using a non-resident patron code? If so, we do return the PatronCodeID in our PatronValidate API. I wonder if this is a situation where Cloudlibrary has infrastructure in place to support checking the patron code via SIP, but not yet via the Polaris API.

Clear ExternalID on Deletion + Add Clearer Conflict Error Message
We've begun leveraging the "ExternalID" field in Polaris to integrate staff authentication with Google using our Google Workspace email addresses. During this process, we've encountered matching errors when updating existing Polaris accounts that share email addresses with previously deleted user accounts.
It would be extremely helpful if, when a Polaris staff account is deleted, the associated ExternalID is automatically cleared to prevent these conflicts. Additionally, when an error does occur due to a duplicate ExternalID, a clearer error dialog that identifies the conflicting PolarisUserID would greatly assist in resolving the issue quickly.

Integration with Student Integration Systems, like Skyward and TeacherEase
It would be helpful if Polaris could integrate with Skyward and TeacherEase Student Integration Systems. We currently provide service for a number of K-12 schools and it would be helpful if fines/fees could be transferred to the primary system a school uses.

Allow SIP2 to trap ILL requests that are in Transit status
We use remote lockers that connect with SIP2 to the ILS. We are unable to send ILL's to the lockers and have them trapped by the locker software using SIP2 as all other materials that are in Transit status are able to be trapped via SIP2.
