In the 8.2 update, when performing a search using either the Find option or the quick search box, catalogers who select Create Item are now taken directly to the New Item Records workform rather than the New Item Record workform. While it is possible to create a single item from this workform, doing so requires additional steps.

Catalogers can still create a single item using New > Item Record, which follows the workflow available in previous versions of Leap. However, when cataloging multiple different titles, this requires the cataloger to repeatedly select New > Item Record for each title. In previous versions, catalogers could simply return to the search results or use the quick search bar to locate the next title and continue working more efficiently.

To address this issue, I suggest providing two options within the Actions menu:

1.) Create Item - Opens the New Item Record workform for creating a single item.
2.) Create Multiple Items - Opens the New Item Records workform for batch item creation.

This approach would preserve the streamlined workflow used by catalogers creating single items while still providing quick access to batch item creation when needed. Most of smaller libraries only receive 1 copy of an item. I could see the additional steps as a pain point for them.
