Select multiple branches more easily in LEAP find tool.
In the Find Tool, allow users to filter by a library organization's branches by selecting a library 'quick pick' option. This would eliminate the need for a system used by multiple libraries to click each branch associated with their organization.
Idea Value
In the Find Tool, in order to filter a search for an item with an assigned branch within our library organization, we are required to select the checkbox next to each branch from the drop-down menu. We have over 20 branches, which makes the filter cumbersome. We would like to be able to select all of our branches with one click.
The library 'quick pick' option is available in Simply Reports. We would like to extend it to the Find Tool.

We have an idea in future possibilites to make the filters in Leap sticky.
If that option was available, would it change the priority on this enhancement?

Libraries frequently want to limit a search to "my library only" but have to unselect all libraries and scroll through many libraries to select their own library. Everyday we do this multiple times and it is time consuming. Many libraries are part of huge consortia so there are a lot of other libraries to scroll through.
Idea Value
This would save catalogers an unbelievable amount of time. Reference librarians would save time too.
