Sierra 6.3 - Create a Review File endpoint
Idea Description
This idea is based in part on one submitted back in 2019 by Andy Helck. Create an endpoint that will provide the list of records included in a specified review file from Create Lists. I essentially envision this as the API version of the bool_set SQL table.Idea Value
This would provide outside systems the means of retrieving lists of titles that staff maintain within create lists and can provide a means for services to access data without having to work out how to create Json queries.11 votesImplemented in Sierra 6.3

Sierra 6.3 - Make URL report useful and launch URLs correctly
Idea Description
Fix the URL Checker "print" option to email, which can be useful to embed URLs and forward them to work on offline, but the columns on the report break the URLs and the report is useless since the full URL is forced to break based on a fixed pre-determined length of column. This would help both interactive / custom reports as well as a larger report of the list of errors. In example provided, anything not underlined in "blue" that wraps to a second line is a broken URL that will not launch.Idea Value

Sierra 6.3 - Clear Jarcache files upon first run of the SDA after an upgrade
Idea Description
Automatically clear the jarcache directory in the Sierra Desktop App installation files after an upgrade or provide an option in the SDA settings to enable this.Idea Value
The jarcache directory is updated the first time the SDA is launched after a Sierra upgrade. After several upgrades the directory becomes bloated with old .jar files. It makes sense for the jarcache directory to be cleared as part of the first launch of the SDA post upgrade. This will ensure a fresh set of jar files.23 votesImplemented in Sierra 6.3

Sierra 6.3 - Create Lists to Global Update/Rapid Update button
As a library worker using the Sierra staff client, when I have a review file open or selected, I want some navigation that will take me directly to Global/Rapid Update to work on that review file.
Idea Value
I am constantly creating review files then editing them in Global or Rapid Update. This is a big part of my job. I don't know how many times I've gotten to Global/Rapid Update and I can't remember the number of the list I'm working on. It would be great to have navigation in Create Lists that would take me directly to Global/Rapid…39 votesImplemented in Sierra 6.3

Sierra 6.3 - Add record to list
Idea Description
Currently within create lists there is a option to add records to a list that can be accessed when viewing the contents of a review file. This opens a search window where you can then pull up a record and add to the review file once you've found what you're looking for.It'd be nice to open up this function and make it accessible outside of Create Lists such that from any record you can click on an "add to list button", which would bring up a window of existing review files of the relevant record type and…

Sierra 6.0 - Harvest Sierra data in MARC XML using OAI-PMH
Idea Description: Libraries often share their metadata between our system and external systems. One very convenient way of keeping the databases in sync is using the OAI-PMH protocol. Sierra currently supports OAI-PMH as a harvester, but not the converse; as a repository. We would like to see this protocol implemented to allow external systems to harvest from Sierra to lower the amount of intervention required to keep the data in sync between Sierra and an external repository.
Idea Value: Currently we use scheduler to generate review files and export data out of Sierra and transfer these files via FTP to…

Sierra 6.2 - Verify Heading option for item record
Could we please have the 'Verify Heading' functionality developed to apply to call numbers in item records?
We used the 'Verify Heading' option for call numbers on item records for a long time since Millennium, that bug is fixed in Sierra 6.0. Now that feature only on bibliographic and authority records.

Sierra 6.1 - Add item status date to Create Lists
It would be very useful to be able to at least export (if not also filter/search on) the status date in Create Lists. We do things like delete items that have been in certain statuses for a certain number of months, and used to have to guess based on the updated date, but obviously records can be updated without the status being changed. Going forward (as newer items get status dates associated with them) we can check item-by-item by mousing over the status in the item record, but it would be a big help to have the date appear alongside…

Sierra 6.1 - Sierra Admin - Allow Export of Permissions
Provide system administrators the ability to export a user's permissions - both assigned and available. I am trying to provide an employee's manager with a list of the permissions her employee has, so she can see what should be added. There is no easy way to do this. I can't even copy/paste; when you highlight the permissions it just allows you to move them around vs. copying.

Sierra 6.2 - Encore request box character limit improvement
Currently we are having a problem when our readers fill in the Encore request note box. There is a hard limit of 125 characters which our readers routinely blast through. In trying to solve this problem, we have added a more descriptive label to the box (saying that the message has to be limited to 125 characters), but still the readers expect us to receive the information that they have typed in beyond the 125 character limit - the request box will allow them to add it in, but won't transmit this information to the library.

Sierra 6.0 - Display "Date in Status" in item records
Display the date that an item's status was last updated and make this field available in a SQL view.
Idea Value
We'd like to be able to create reports that show how long an item has been in a certain status so we can take appropriate action (such as deleting long-missing items). Currently, we can only see the last date the record was updated, but the record may have been updated in some other way after the status was changed.5 votesThis idea has been included in Sierra 6.0.
