SQL Changes in Polaris System Admin
I know that it is planned to be able to run SQL jobs in the Web Based System Admin but that you won't be able to make changes from there, only to view data etc. I would love to be able to make changes through SQL in the System Admin and to have it be permission based.
13 votesThere's a security risk with opening up SQL edit actions via System Administration. This is not something we are considering at this time.

Increase functionality of API with Overdrive
We would like to see additional information and functions available in the Polaris Client or LEAP so that staff have more resources and information to support customers with questions about online resources.
For example, library staff would benefit from seeing real-time hold information in Polaris about items on Overdrive or Hoopla. Currently, Polaris shows an asterix (*) under holds. Library staff need to either go to the PAC or Overdrive to provide customers with this information. It would help library staff to have information available in one place rather than requiring staff to go to multiple sources to answer a…

(SMS - Cirriusimpact/third-party SMS) Flag patron account within Polaris when patron "opts out"
Reviewing the process of integrating Cirriusimpact at our library, we've encountered a notable issue: patrons opting out of text messaging and staff needing to adjust their notifications accordingly. Currently, we're relying on CGS to send daily email alerts when someone opts out, but it would be more convenient to add a non-blocking note to the Polaris account visible to all staff. This would ensure everyone is aware of a patron's preference change and simplify the search for patrons with similar notification settings.

Allow Different Email Times for Different Branches
It would be nice to have the ability to set different email notice schedules for each branch.
We would like to line up our notice delivery times with the operating hours of our branches, or allow more frequent hold notice emails at a specific branch.14 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Material loan limit by pickup branch
We have a Bookmobile service that is setup as it's own branch as well as a holds pickup location. With the limited capacity of this "pickup location", we are trying to restrict the material type loan limit block by location instead of by branch association.
It would help to have some sort of Policy Table that does Material Type Loan Limit by Branch Pickup Location.
Idea Value
This would filter out items that cannot be picked up on the Bookmobile Branch to stop patrons from placing the hold and avoiding staff to have to manually cancel the hold and follow…4 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Auto-populate the Until field with the date in the Dates Closed field when adding a new date to the Dates Closed table
Currently, when staff update their library's Dates Closed table for a single date in the future they are required to select/enter the same date in both the Dates Closed and the Until fields.
While it is just a couple additional clicks, having the Until field auto-populate with the same date that staff have selected/entered in the Date Closed field would improve the end user experience when they are entering a number of single dates at once.

Password Reset PAPI Call
Currently we have to send patrons from our websites to the PAC if they need to reset their passwords. It would be great if there was an API call for this, as it's disruptive to the patron experience to have to send them to another site.
The suggested functionality would reflect the PAC experience: once they enter a barcode, a password reset email would be sent to the email address on the account.

API reading history sortable by title or last added
We have had multiple patron requests to be able to sort reading history delivered by API by latest added or by title. Currently reading history is displayed with the oldest first which results in a lot of scrolling by the user.

Add Record Status Date to Record Sets
Since record sets have 2-level deletion, like bibs, items, and authorities, the RecordSets table should have a RecordStatusDate column.
When using the 2-level deletion to manage record clean-up, it is usual to purge records that have been deleted for a certain amount of time, but without the deletion date it is harder to determine. Because the modification date of deleted record sets is still updated by some actions taken on the records in the set (e.g. merging over a record), the only way to determine the deletion is by querying the transactions database.
With the record status date added, determining…

Return additional elements in the PAPI PatronValidate method
We use ChargeBalance, StatisticalClassID and BirthDate with 3rd party vendors to verify if our patrons are eligible to use licensed resources. Currently if I have a 3rd party vendor use PAPI to auth our patrons I would have to have them use PatronBasicDataGet to access this data which also returns personal information I do not want them to have access too. If ChargeBalance, StatisticalClassID and BirthDate were added to PatronValidate then the 3rg party vendors would not have unnecessary access to the full patron record. It may also be beneficial to include the UDF fields, Patron Name and email address…

Generate and track a new patron access PAC override password every time it's needed
Currently, the PAC override password, available in Profiles -> PAC -> Patron Access Options -> Log In tab, is a static, set and forget password. Often, that password is indeed forgotten because it's not used all that often. However, when it is used, there's a good reason for it. I believe this remains useful functionality, but I also believe that a static, universal patron access password is a security issue for patrons and staff alike.
My idea is that, if an ILS Admin needs a PAC override password to troubleshoot an issue on the PAC or within Vega, then one…

Process to Delete Bulk Change Reports
Currently deleting older Import Reports and Bulk Change Reports is manual and can be very time consuming. Our consortium has generated a lot over time, and even once we get through the backlog it would be onerous to keep up with regular activity. It would be handy if there was a process that could run on the back-end deleting these, so managing a backlog doesn't need to be a concern.
I picture the process being optional, and deleting the reports based on age (older than X number of weeks/months/years). The process would run overnight, and would ideally be built to…

Include the PatronRegistration field "CollectionExempt" in a PAPI response.
In a PAPI response, include the field "CollectionExempt" found in the PatronRegistration record. Likely PAPI candidate is the PatronBasicDataGet response.
