Remove Branch Requirement from Patron Bulk Change
Allow bulk change to all fields in the bulk change workform when the record set contains patrons from more than one registered branch. Currently, the system requires that a single registration branch must be applied to the patron records before changing the patron code and/or the library assigned blocks. These values are set at the branch level; however, most libraries use consistent patron codes and blocks across branches.
This was previously submitted in the old enhancement process:
"Bulk changing a patron code requires the selection of a registered branch. We request that this requirement be suppressed if all branches can…

Printing and Exporting Reading History in the Polaris
We have had several library members ask why there are not capable of printing their reading history from their account in Polaris. It would be great if there was a print button at the top of their reading history. Can this be be added?
Idea Value
Very helpful for the elderly. They prefer a hard copy and/or have to wait for a family member to visit to show them their reading history.34 votes -
On Order status available in Item Bulk Change
Make On Order an item status that can be bulk changed.
Idea Value
This would increase efficiency of staff working on acquisitions database management. Daily, we have On Order items that need to be changed to In Processing.28 votes -
Custom columns in record sets
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.46 votes -
Easy link to item and bib details when using New Hold function in Leap Holds view
I love the New Holds function in Leap. It makes it easy to place lots of holds for a customer in a single session when you know exact info and they are fine getting it later. With this feature though, you have no way to easily see WHERE copies of a title are or what their status is or details about WHAT you are placing a hold on. It would be great if there was a way to link to or preview bib info and item details (such as circ status and location) so you know if you even need…

Display Last Activity Date in Item Records
While Leap Item Record views are pretty robust, they often lack a very critical piece of information - Last Activity Date. Modification and Creation date display in Properties but Last Activity Date is not displayed. While it can sometimes be found in the History view, this is not always the case. Sometimes History is empty in Leap. We reference Last Activity date in the staff client on a regular basis and need ready access to that same information in Leap
Idea Value
Last Activity date and info can be helpful for collection evaluation and in tracking down items.10 votes -
Web Admin - PAPI Key Management Permissions
With 7.1, Polaris administrative settings can now be accessed on the web, which includes PAPI Key Management. However, the PAPI keys can be accessed and changed today by anyone with the permission 'Access Administration - Allow' (which gives basic access to system admin settings).
We give some of our staff access to admin settings, for activities like adding workstations and updating branch hours. As it stands these users can access and change the API settings through web-admin, but they should be secured so only systems administrators have access. This will be barrier for us sharing web-admin with our staff in…

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…39 votes -
Prevent Modification Date Setting on New Bib Records
I realized recently that all our bibliographic records have the Modification Date populated, even new records. It turns out that the process of creating the record will update the Modification Date due to an aspect of the process. This doesn't seem part of the intended design, so it would make sense to correct the process to stop adding a Modification Date entry.
Idea Value
This may cause confusion for staff working with bib records, and in general it's not good from a record metadata quality perspective to have misleading modification details. It can be filtered around in queries (the modifier…19 votes
