Outreach alert during hold creation
A request for an enhancement from our Homebound Services (Outreach) department: In Reading History, it would be beneficial to generate an alert (has had) from the Reading History when placing a hold, not during check out of the item. Presently, the current setting notifies staff at check out whether the patron has had the title already.

Clarity in the "available now" facet in PowerPAC for consortium libraries
When conducting a PowerPAC search using the "limit by" feature to select one's home library and combining that with the "available now" facet, the implication is that only the items at one's home library will show up. That is not the case, as available items at all consortium libraries display in the results. Although it is possible to achieve the desired results by selecting the local library under the "assigned branch" facet, this is not very intuitive for library patrons.
We would like to see the "available now" facet in PowerPAC split into two options for libraries in consortiums. One…

Display latest additions to record sets at the top of the record set
We create large weeding record sets by pulling items from the shelves then scanning them into the record set. Additions to the set are always shown at the bottom of the list. This means the user needs to keep scrolling to the end of the list to be assured their scanned item did save to the list and if they want to query last scanned items.
This request is simply to change the order in which the set is displayed on screen, with most recent additions added at the top of the list.

Ability to perform a full re-index on a set of bib records using Bulk Change
There are times when we could easily fix bib records via SQL but may run into issues where the index may no longer be valid and the updated bib records may not appear or be omitted in search results. Instead of requesting for a FULL database re-index, we could easily group the involved records into a Record Set and use Bulk Change with a "Miscellaneous" tab with the option "Re-index Bibliographic Records".

Card renewal to update Last Activity Date
Currently, staff modifications to patron registration including card renewal do not update the Patron Last Activity Date (LAD). As more libraries move towards long or no expiration periods, LAD becomes even more important for patron database maintenance. We have seen cases in which patrons renew their card without any additional activity resulting in their record being purged during cleanup. Including renewal and/or extending the card expiration period in LAD will better allow libraries to track patron engagement.

Back to Search from Send to Record Set
When you create a search to then send to record set we would like option to go Back to Search. Sometimes we only grab part of the initial results into a record set and we would like to go back to the larger list to grab additional items to add into a completely different record set.
Some lists are too long or we want them split up for multiple staff to manage and having these results in different record sets helps with that.

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.

Ability to Merge Supplier Records
I have occasionally found multiple supplier records for a single supplier account, whether added by mistake or under multiple names (Thomas Klise and Crimson, for example). When these supplier records are accidental duplicates, I believe it would be helpful to have the ability to merge them (retaining all linked POs and invoices) to maintain one supplier record per account.

Changing Lost to a Claim
We have customers who do not pay attention to their notifications and an item gets declared Lost that they believe they have returned. I would like to have the option of taking an item that was declared Lost and making it Claimed Returned and even better if it could auto-waive any associated fines.

remove notification for cancelled items
It would be nice if from the staff side in Polaris and LEAP we could select whether to notify the patron if an item they placed on hold gets cancelled. Sometimes we have to cancel holds for various reasons and LEAP is often faster in notifying the patron with no context when their request was cancelled which can cause confusion for the patron. Staff should get the option of whether a patron gets notified or not and if possible, if we could have the option to add a message to the cancel notification they get.
Relatedly, patrons should get a…24 votes -
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.

Leap lockouts due to incorrect password entry should have a unique error message
We had a front-line staff member contact us because he was getting a "The domain, username or password is incorrect" error message when he tried to log in to Leap. Support was able to tell us that he was locked out because he had incorrectly typed his password five times. They confirmed that the error message that will be shown when this happens is "The domain, username or password is incorrect." Not only is that error message text factually untrue, it is identical to the error message that a staff person sees if their password actually IS being entered incorrectly.…

Leap auto-formatting in date and postal code fields
The patron birthdate field and postal code field both require correct formatting to save the record. If would be helpful to staff if Leap could have auto-formatting (as many web forms do), e.g. insert the dashes in the birthdate (yyyy-mm-dd) and capitalize and insert the space in the postal code (A1A 1A1).
Adding the calendar date picker back for the birthdate field would also be great, assuming that the issues it used to cause could be resolved.

Combine items and statistics on bib record
Please combine the items and the statistics on the bib record into one section so that we can see circ stats and item status without having to click multiple areas. We need this data to help us determine whether an item should be transferred from another branch, repaired, or replaced. Attached is how it looks in Staff Client, and it would be great if we could see this view in LEAP.

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…

View Pending Holds For Pickup at Other Libraries in Request Manager in Leap
Currently, the only way to view pending holds for pickup at other libraries in Request Manager is in the Polaris Client. We would like this brought over to Leap. This idea would make the Request Manager in Leap and the client equal in terms of capabilities.

Remove Pop-up about holds on shelf when checking out Holds
Currently, if I am checking a hold to a patron, there is a pop-up letting me know there are holds to check out. I would like that to not pop-up if the barcode I have scanned is one of the holds I am currently checking out. It is fine if it's not one of the holds, or the hold is at another location, but it is frustrating when I already have the holds in front of me.
