  1. This is occurring in the Leap patron registration section. For accessibility purposes some of our staff tab through the patron registration and when hitting the zip code field and entering the zip, the select a city pop up box will appear showing multiple cities connected to that zip. The default spot for the tab to be at when this window appears is on the ok button, meaning none of the radio buttons have been selected yet. Then you must shift + tab and forward tab to eventually get to a radio button being highlighted. You can click the space bar…

  2. Every time I create a record set, the Owner is defaulting to the first branch that I have the permission to create a record set for. It would be great to make the Owner to default to assigned or logged into branch.

  3. The PowerPAC usage statistics provide a minimal view of the patron's use of our PowerPAC. We also use Vega Discover and cannot accurately compile information between them and with other platforms.

    Examples to include/add: Total visits, total unique visitors, total searches submitted.

  4. This would be very helpful for a number of uses - such as when your book drop is fouled and you need to quickly bag items, bulk return via RFID and save the info for later resolution.

  5. It is a basic principle of RDA and sometimes we can't display all the info in one field with commas when there are special editions of video games.

  7. We allow our Pages to check in items. In order to give them access they get access to Circulation control. That access is giving them access to both check out and check in of items. We would like to limit that access to only allow for check in and not check out. There seems to be a separate permission for the check in dialog box but nothing for check out and check out needs to be blocked for our Page group access.

  8. Right now in the Polaris SIP environment, if you attempt to get patron information using a 63 message, but you put in the WRONG password, the patron accounts LAST ACTIVITY DATE will STILL be updated.

    We recently had a vendor that for some crazy reason, went through and was attempting a 63 message for all patron barcodes they had on file. This updated the last activity date for tens of thousands of patron accounts.

    Although I suppose there could be some arguments for this behavior, it should not be the default. By default if an account login FAILS, for any…

  9. We've discovered the keyboard shortcuts in LEAP do not work when you have cap locks on. Our catalogers are a 50/50 split on those who always have cap locks on while they work and those who don't. I'd like to have the option available for those who find it easiest to catalog with the cap locks and use the shortcuts.

    This is related to a couple of other ideas - https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/48517199-keyboard-shortcuts-for-marc-editor

  11. Currently when a patron replaces their library card and gets a new barcode, staff have to manually reconnect them with their Libby account, which is connected to their old card number. This update should be automated so that patrons who lose their library cards don't also lose access to Libby or other eResources. I'm not sure if this would require an update to the API (?)

  14. In an Item Record's Preview, when you click on the Subjects in the Brief tab, you are sent to the Power Pac. For Vega libraries, please link out to Vega instead of the Power Pac.

  15. I realized recently that all our bibliographic records have the Modification Date populated, even new records. It turns out that the process of creating the record will update the Modification Date due to an aspect of the process. This doesn't seem part of the intended design, so it would make sense to correct the process to stop adding a Modification Date entry.

    Idea Value
    This may cause confusion for staff working with bib records, and in general it's not good from a record metadata quality perspective to have misleading modification details. It can be filtered around in queries (the modifier…

  16. Currently, when a patron changes their password via the OPAC (change logon > change password), no notification is made to the customer nor is the modification date in the patron registration record updated.

    I would like to see an email/SMS notification be issued to the customer when a password is changed via this method as well as have the modification date updated.

    Idea Value
    These updates would provide better security for the library customer by communicating a system change that they may or may not have made themselves.

    These updates would also make it easier for library staff to investigate…
