Fee reason (Add charges in patron account) sort drop down menu alphabetically please
When adding a charge to a patrons account the fee reason drop down menu is not sorted alphabetically.
Alphabetical order would make data entry faster/more efficient.9 votes -
Check-In Count Report
We can run a report on the number of items checked out at our library, but it is much harder to try and track how many items were checked in. Leap will keep a count on the check-in screen, but if the window gets closed or a new staff member logs in, that information is lost. It would be great to be able to easily track how many check-ins we do in a day since check-outs only represent part of what keeps circ staff busy at the desk.

Cancel an in-transit hold
It would be beneficial to have the option of cancelling a hold for which the filling item has already moved to an in-transit status. This way, once the item is received at the destination, when it is checked in instead of going on the holds shelf it would either fill the next applicable hold or go in-transit back to the owning library.

Remove late fees
Drop late fees that have accrued once an item has been charged for replacement cost. Once an item is charged for replacement (lost or damaged) the late fees that have accrued should automatically drop instead of being added to the replacement fee.

Allow editing of Processing Workslips
The Processing Workslip is very useful - but it is missing some options and has others that we don't use or need. Our collection development and cataloging/processing staff have suggested the following:
-Have the title be in larger or bold font so it is easier to see, and have it at the very top of the page
-Show the number of items at the top of the page near the title/author details so you don't have to go the bottom of the page (or the second page) to count - this would be very helpful for large numbers of items…4 votes -
Block patron hold requests in the PAC if they are blocked in the staff client
We would like the option to block a patron's ability to place holds in the PAC if their account is blocked in the staff client

Large Print ORS Packing List
The default font size for ORS packing lists, however, is 14. At my library, the vast majority of our patrons prefer large print materials, so a size 14 font is a bit too small. For accessibility purposes, it would make sense for the ORS Packing List to default to an 18pt font, which would be in line with large print standards.
This is not something that we can change ourselves in Polaris, so for several of my outreach patrons, I copy/paste the Packing List into a Word document, then increase the font size manually. While effective, it is time consuming…

Create and pay an invoice without attaching it to a purchase order
Many of our vendors consolidate processing and cataloging charges and put them on separate invoices from materials. In order to enter and pay these invoices in Leap, our acquisitions staff have to create a purchase order first, and then create a "fake" bib record in order to have something to receive. We would like to keep entering processing and cataloging charges in Leap to help us keep track of the funds, but it would be much simpler if we could directly create and pay an invoice just for processing or cataloging charges without any materials.

Additional check-in statuses for serials
Currently, when checking in serial issues in the Polaris client, there are only three options under the drop-down menu for status: "Expected," "Never Published," and "Not available." It would be helpful to add the statuses "Claimed" and "Pending Claimed" as additional options.
