Add the ability to have multiple screens open at one time
I'd like to see the option to have more than only one screen open at one time, vs needing to close out the current screen before performing another/a different related search (like we can in the staff client).

This idea was reviewed as part of the MEEP process, but the effort to "make Leap like the windows client" is too significant to be technically viable.
In an effort to address the heart of the issue, we have proposed the following related ideas be considered for voting instead:

Implementing these ideas together will give staff the ability to have multiple windows/tabs open for viewing multiple records. It will also allow staff to keep the Find Tool open as a workform.
I'm going to close this idea in favor of the other two.

This would be an ideal feature. For staff familiar with the desktop client Polaris interface (and those that do more on the admin or cataloguing side) the LEAP interface is much clunkier for searching – yes you can save search settings and have default search parameters on a particular station but if doing multiple types of searches (e.g. bib then item records) it is a hassle because you can’t toggle between different windows/searches like before and once you go into an item record you can’t go back to the previous search screen simply by closing the window; rather you have to start again from the beginning and constantly have to reset the search parameters. Related to this, you can’t see what’s “underneath” without closing the current window.
