It would be really helpful if, when sending a SimplyReports item records report into a record set, if we could choose more and which data fields appear in the record set. For example, when we build a report around a key piece of data in an item record field that doesn't appear in the record set view, we lose the ability to make the changes to the record set that we want to make from the report. Increase the data we can choose to add to the record set view.

I have many coworkers lament that item record sets don't contain authors- looking for items that don't have a traditional call number (ex pictures books that have a the authors last inital as the only marking) is more difficult that way, or trying to use a record set for a display and wanting to make sure there is a balance, so it is not all the same author.

I can search for bib records by a field that I cannot display in bib record search results, cannot display in a bib record set I created from that search, and cannot have as an output field for a bib report in SimplyReports. Bib record fields that are important to me in one context may be important to me in other contexts, so they should all be available in every context if they're available in any of them.

One of our selectors has gone down a rabbit hole and would love to be able to add publisher names to a Record Set. So, that would be another field option that could prove useful.

We're testing out the weeding workflow in 7.5 and would like to be able to include Last Checkout Renew Date. Our Last Activity date is not an accurate indicator of the last circulation since that date changes with record modifications. Being able to customize what columns appear in record sets could solve this issue and allow us to use the workflow more easily.

I agree with Anita. Customization allowing the user to determine what columns to include in the record set. Ideally the columns in the record set would match the columns selected when using the Find Tool. Additional columns to choose from would be great also, such as Email Address for Patron Record Sets and our libraries have requested the Author to display for Item Record Sets.

We're talking here about customization so that we each can determine what columns to include in our set, not just changing out the existing columns for another one and unchangeable set of columns for everyone in every situation, right?
When I envision custom columns in record sets I think of having a limited number of columns, but each column can be whatever I need it to be. Right now there are 12 columns in item record sets. When I run an item record report and create a record set from the results, I want the columns to match the columns in the report that was generated.
(for us, the record status and volume columns are absolutely necessary when doing bulk changes to item records, when deleting withdrawn items from the catalog, and when our selectors are using record sets for weeding purposes.)

Definitely a Due Date column would be helpful. We don't really use the Volume and Record Status columns when searching for item records with the find tool.

Due date in the find tool or in an item record set would be very helpful.

I definitely would like to see a "Due Date" column available in the find tool when to display in the field of view for patron, bib, item records.

For item record sets, it would be very helpful to have available as options to include Stat code, Loan Period, hold indicator check boxes, non-circulating and display in PAC check boxes, public note, non-public note. I think selectors might also like to have the option to include in item record sets year-to-date circulation and lifetime circulation.

Would it be possible to let users select "up to X" number of fields for the columns?

Hopefully retain that as a preference when opening new Record Sets of the same Type (Item, Patron, etc.). But, can be changed on the fly.

I work mostly with patron record sets and the ones I would use the most that aren't currently in the display are:
-Last Activity date
-Fine amount
-Expiration date

Ones currently included that I never use:
-Street #1
-City
-ZIP
-State

It's very difficult to estimate this as an infinite number of columns. It would help if those in support of this idea would comment with the columns they would like the option to add. (Due date is already mentioned in the description).
