  1. In Polaris, when you are in an INLI you can click the New button you get the option to Copy Existing Work Form. The new INLI retains some values from the existing one (e.g. fund, title, author).
    In LEAP you need to exit the INLI, and then click the New Line Item button, which does not fill in any of the information. Makes adding line items slower and more repetitive when you need to re-enter everything.

  2. Enable multiline selections/changes for claims. That is, don't make us select each and every one separately to update to Backordered!

  3. Acquisitions staff would like the ability to un-release a purchase order. Currently, once a purchase order is released, you are unable to go back and make any changes if you realize you made a mistake. Instead, acquisitions staff are having to delete the entire PO and start a new one from scratch.

  4. Currently, when adding segments to a purchase order line item in Leap, the collection and fund reset whenever a new destination is selected. Since we are frequently adding multiple segments with the same collection and fund but different destinations, this forces acquisitions staff to have to scroll down and select the correct collection and fund for each segment. If the first selection of collection and fund "stuck" for each purchase order line item, it would be much faster to add multiple segments for items going to different destinations.

  5. Many libraries like to call attention to their genre fiction through the use of spine label stickers and icons. For instance, science fiction items may feature an image of a grey alien, mysteries have a magnifying glass or a skull and crossbones, and westerns use a cowboy or a horse or something similar. The thing is, there's no reason a library couldn't print the icons on the spine labels themselves using emoji.

    👽 = Science Fiction

    🐴 = Western

    💀 = Mystery

    🦄 = Fantasy

    🏰 = Historical Fiction

    And so on. However, the Polaris Label Manager barely supports any…

  6. To have the ability to choose what columns are used in record sets. This would be useful for daily inventory of items that we would need to know the due dates or other values. Currently, record sets are locked into a standard set of columns, some of which, most of us have no use for.

    Idea Value
    This would be a major time saver when analyzing inventory and statistics.

  7. 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.

  8. The ability to un-cancel a cancelled Purchase Order Line Item. Sometimes an order cancelled by a vendor will arrive anyways, or one edition is cancelled then later substituted for another. In these cases, it would be preferable to un-cancel the original POLI than to create a new one, or start from scratch at the invoice stage. Un-cancelling the POLI would also allow us to maintain the connection between the POLI and the Invoice Line Item.

    Idea Value
    This would save time and confusion for acquisitions staff, and allow us to maintain the connections between PO, Invoice and Item.
