Provide an option in Leap to save bibliographic records without making changes first
I don't know if this is already planned for a future version; I didn't see it on the current roadmap, though. It's really important for cataloguers that they be able to save a bib record without having to make a change first, particularly for provisional bib records. The only way to make a provisional record become final is to resave it, and currently, Leap requires you to make a change in any bib record before saving it. I know the duplicate detection without saving is now available, and that's a great feature - but allowing at least provisional bib records…

duplicate field detection
Within the bibliographic record, occasionally there are duplicate fields. We need a way to easily detect them, especially with bibs upon bibs that are merged. We end up with a ton of duplicate 035 fields.

Option to return to find results after record deletion
When a record (item, bib, etc.) is opened from Find results and then marked as deleted, it (and the Find results) are automatically closed. It would great if the record did not close (leaving the Results button available) or the record closed and returned the user to the Find results.

Add the ability to schedule bulk updates
Periodically we might need to update a large number of records. Like changing 10,000 item records to not display in PAC. When we have done that during the library hours it negatively impacts response time. What would be desired would be an option to schedule the update for after hours.

Create item record from invoice line
We would like the ability to create an item record from an invoice line in Leap. This is especially useful when manually building invoices, and can be done in the staff client.

Item counts on PO and Invoice Headers
It would be beneficial to have a total item count in the header of POs and Invoices for quick reference. Currently there is no easy way to get this count from a PO or Invoice because there is not even a row count column under the items view.

SimplyReports: Add "Not Present" option for Shelf Locations
In the Item reports, some general filters categories, such as Stat Code, have a Not Present option. This allows staff to report by Collection Code or Material Type and exclude unwanted Stat Codes. It would be helpful to have the same option to exclude Shelf Locations.

SIP2 support for checking in lost items via sorter
Support should be included so that when lost items are checking via automated materials handlers, they should be checked in and processed - bill waived and item status updated appropriately.

LEAP: Add line item to EDI invoices and receive
We have instances where an EDI invoice from a vendor will contain materials that were ordered both via EDI and directly through the vendor. The EDI invoice in Polaris only includes the EDI ordered materials and then we add a line item for the materials that were not ordered via EDI.
In LEAP we are able to add a line item to an EDI invoice but we are not able to receive it manually like we are in the client. I have included a screenshot to illustrate this.35 votes -
If Leap quick search doesn't find a record, don't clear the text
A staff member asked us to post this. When using the quick search in leap and typing in a query does not lead to a record, the text should stay inputted so the staff member can edit their query as opposed to having to retype it all over again when trying again.

Find Tool Customization
Currently there are a lot of search options that many of our staff do not use within the search tool. I would love a way to customize this per user either to have favorites that float to the top or a way to suppress options that can still be quickly revealed for those extra rare use cases.

Option to tell customer if they have already read a title
An option added in the patron registration that turns on a "loan tracking" feature. When checking out books, if this feature is turned on, then when a barcode is scanned that the patron has already borrowed a message comes up to let the patron know they have already read this title.
Would check at a bib level (so not just the actual item that is scanned, but any bib that item is associated with). Should be based on what is in the reading history of the account. Would need enhancement for serial issues, as the reading history currently only advises…34 votes -
Verify patron email address and phone number
Incorrect email addresses and phone numbers in patron records cause hold and overdue notices to fail. This results in a negative patron experience and requires wasted staff time for troubleshooting and manual data correction. Polaris should behave like other systems and verify contact information before using it.
When an email address is entered into a record, the system will send a message with a verification link. After the patron clicks the link, the email's status in the ILS will change from "Unverified" to "Verified". A visual indicator will show the verified status to both staff and patrons.
This function will…

Compare record sets side by side
Now that in Leap we can compare bib records side by side, it would be very helpful to be able to compare record sets side by side. Right now I'm exporting contents and comparing in Excel/Google Sheets, and then sometimes importing the results into a new record set. I'd love to be able to see two record sets next to each other and edit as needed directly in Leap. Apologies if this idea has already been submitted. Thanks!

Leap - Receipt WYSIWYG editor
Currently, there is no way to adjust receipts. We only have the option of which fields and we are not allowed to put those fields in an order that suits our workflow. We would love to see Leap have a WYSIWYG editor so each library can configure font size, fields, etc. for each receipt.

Sort By options in Leap should match those available in Staff Client ex. Popularity
Our librarians make regular use the staff client's bibliographic option to sort by "most popular" when searching by author, particularly when supporting the needs of children and families. Please provide sort by options in Leap to match those available in the staff client.

Add "Mark Item Missing" to the Actions Menu
It would be useful to have a "Mark Item Missing" selection available in the "Actions" menu for Item Records. Not only would this be more convenient for staff who are unable to locate an Item that was not on the Picklist than navigating to the Details page and manually changing the status there, but hopefully this could be implemented in such a way that staff don't need the Item Records - Modify Header - Cataloging permission just to mark an Item Missing.

Open potential duplicate bibs in Compare window
It would be helpful if the bib duplicate check popup had an option to open the records in a Compare window. Currently staff have to do a separate search for the potential duplicate records to be able to closely compare them and/or copy data from one to another, then redo the duplicate check to merge them.

Diacritics in Leap
Right now, staff can only copy & paste diacritics from elsewhere into Leap, but they have no way of directly inputting them into cataloging data. The toolbar was able to do this, but Leap cannot.

Merge patron function should also create a new Dated Note
When merging patron records, the system currently appends merge details to the Non-Blocking Notes section. However, with the introduction of Dated Notes and the ability to hide Non-Blocking Notes, this information can be lost depending on system settings.
We would like to see one of the following options implemented:Allow administrators to choose where the system writes merge notes.
Have the system automatically write merge notes to both note types (Non-Blocking and Dated Notes).
