Picklist Pending Not Found Option
Enhancement Request: Add the ability to mark a Picklist Pending item as “Not Found” while keeping the item in a pending status.
Current Challenge:
When staff are unable to locate an item on the Picklist Pending report, there is no way to indicate that a search was completed and the item was not found. As a result, staff cannot easily communicate to follow-up staff that the item requires a second search.While the Ask Later feature exists, it is not an effective solution for this scenario because it removes the item from the local Picklist Pending list and places it…

Leap: MARC Import profile should select default file
In the staff client, we can set a default file for a particular import profile. When that import profile is used, the file is already selected and we don't have to search for it. We'd like this same thing in Leap, but currently aren't able to set a default file and have to search for it every time.
Idea Value
This would prevent having to search for the exact same file every time when importing. It would save time, is more efficient, and already works well in the staff client.47 votes -
Mailed Notices and Long Overdue Items
We just were made aware that for patrons who are set up to receive mailed notices, that long overdue items are not automatically marked as Lost as other items are- they will only be marked as Lost and charged to the patron AFTER you run the Billing Notices. This is not something we were ever made aware of and only were told when we happened to notice a patron had items with a due date in 2024 on their account. This feels ridiculous and like an unnecessary step in an otherwise automated process. My library does not mail out billing…

Leap: Ability to save column sorting
In the desktop client, we had searches sorted by Pub Date then Author. We can sort them in the Find Tool, but clicking the star to save as default settings does not save the sorting preferences for next time.

Import Reports in spreadsheet format
It would be very helpful to have an option to view Import Reports for both bibliographic and authority record imports as a spreadsheet, as well as the existing PDF.
This is mostly true for the records (and associated errors, warnings, and messages) themselves, rather than the more general import information (duplicate detection criteria, MARC validation rules, etc.). This would be helpful for quickly flagging errors, duplicates, and other areas that need attention without having to scroll through a lengthy report.

Add "Days Past First Available" to Item Bulk Change Options
The item hold setting option, "Days Past First Available," was added in Polaris 6.4. This hold setting is not currently included in item bulk change options and should be added in.
Idea Value
Libraries who want to begin using this feature cannot currently bulk change existing items to use this setting (or, if already using, change the existing value). All other item hold setting options can be bulk changed. For parity, the "days past first available" should be added as a bulk change option as well.30 votes -
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.

Scan Driver's License for new card creation
Our Polaris Staff Client has the option to scan a patron's driver's license to autofill their registration information. It would be great for Polaris Leap to also have this feature.

Add items to record set from bib
It would be helpful if Leap had the client functionality allowing staff to add items to a record set from a bib record.

Bulk Check-in: add select from record set
When doing bulk check-in, rather than importing a file that has probably been exported from a record set, it would be much faster and easier to have the option to simply select an item record set and have the items it contains checked in.

Allow searching more than 10 remote databases at a time in Leap
There's no limit (that we've run into, anyway) in the desktop client to the number of z39.50 remote databases you can search at a time, but Leap has implemented a 10 database limit. If there needs to be a limit, can it be slightly higher at least?

Combined Notes and Dated Notes into one tab
Hi there,
When both Notes and Dated Notes are enabled, please just display them under one tab. It's tedious to have to check both tabs (notes for legacy notes, dated notes for new ones). It'd be better to be able to see all notes in one place.
Thanks!

Cap on Claims Returns by Material Type and Patron Code
Library's will benefit by being able to restrict patrons who reached specific number limit of a material type claim returns/never had from being able to borrow additional material type of the same type.

Edit Dated Notes
Would love the ability to be able to edit dated notes so that information can be updated instead of building up a long list of notes on a patron's account.

Remove records from one record set that are in another record set or in an Excel file
It's great being able to bulk-add records to a record set, but it would also be helpful to be able to bulk-remove records from a record set based on either another record set, or an Excel file.
Today in larger record sets it can be a pain to remove a medium to large amount of records. Our staff may work with 10,000+ entry record sets, and need to remove records meeting certain criteria that isn't visible in the fields when viewing a record set. This idea would give a user the flexibility to fill a separate record set based on…

Powerpac in web PolarisAdmin - Individual collapse/expand settings for web parts
Currently there is a universal expanded/collapsed setting for the web parts. Providing individual settings would ensure patrons can immediatley view contents for key information.
E.g., Closure Notices and special events might be expanded by default as they include timely information while the other web parts (What's my PIN?, Add/edit Username, Suggest a Purchase) might be collapsed by default.

Show Cover Images in Search Results of Leap
Library staff would like to see cover images in the search results of the Find tool of Leap when they are looking to place holds for a patron. They can see the cover image if they go into the bib record, but not in the search results page (which is just a list).

Leap: Create item record from serial issue record
In the Polaris Toolbar, when handling serial issue records, there was a direct action (called "Create Item Record") that would create an item record from a serial issue record. This is helpful for our staff for copying over enumeration and designation information.
That same action is not present in Leap. Our staff would appreciate having this feature in Leap.

Ability to multi-select files to delete in MARC Import
In the Background Processing interface, MARC Import is the only view that does not support multi-select functionality (Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click) for selecting multiple records to delete. As a result, import files must be selected individually.
Our consortium processes between 70–100 MARC imports per month. Periodically cleaning up old import files is a routine administrative task, but the inability to select multiple files increases the time required to perform this maintenance. Other Background Processing views support range and multi-item selection, making the MARC Import screen inconsistent with the rest of the interface.
We are requesting that the MARC Import view support…

link to specific copy to fill hold
There have been many times when we've needed to know which specific copy(barcode) is in transit to fill a hold. Currently the only option seems to be going thru each item record to see which is attached to the customer record. Very annoying and time consuming. Perhaps on the Holds Queue screen could include a column (Item Assigned) to list the barcode filling the hold when a hold has been trapped. Or on the Hold Request screen, on the Satisfied By menu a indicator of which item is being used for that hold. Or both.
