  3. 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.

  4. In the 8.2 update, when performing a search using either the Find option or the quick search box, catalogers who select Create Item are now taken directly to the New Item Records workform rather than the New Item Record workform. While it is possible to create a single item from this workform, doing so requires additional steps.

    Catalogers can still create a single item using New > Item Record, which follows the workflow available in previous versions of Leap. However, when cataloging multiple different titles, this requires the cataloger to repeatedly select New > Item Record for each title. In…

  6. We would like it to be a bit more obvious if a hold is not going to be filled due to a lack of items that can fill the hold (Satisfied By tab is empty). If there could be a color change or icon visible in the patron's list of holds and/or the hold request, that would be ideal.

  7. Add the eCommerce vendor BS&A. Many local governments are moving to this vendor for on-line payment options. Since many public libraries have to use what their city uses we are finding that more libraries are asking about BS&A.

  8. Regarding the printing of brief bib records: in the Polaris Client, we typically go to the 'Print' menu within the bibliographic record workform and select 'Bibliographic Brief'. We haven't been able to find an equivalent option or workflow to print these brief bib records in Leap.
    We need this to print brief bib record PDFs of items we have deleted that have no existing copies so we can delete them from OCLC holdings later.

  10. We would like to see Elavon added as an vendor for ExpressCheck payments. Currently, because it is not an available vendor, we cannot customize our fees on our self-check machines.

  11. Allow PowerPAC to lock independently of the other Polaris Admin features (client and web PolarisAdmin).

    PowerPAC editing is locked when another SysAdmin is using the Administration Explorer. My primary responsibilities in the client are to update the PowerPAC, especially notes for upcoming library closures (holidays, staff development day).

    Idea value
    Provides uninterrupted workflow for primary SysAdmin to continue working when the web services focused SysAdmin needs to update the PowerPAC dashboard elements/layout.

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    I 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.

  15. 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.
