Customising pop ups
It would be nice to have more control over Sierra pop ups. Like if you are checking in a large amount of items it is really annoying to click ok every time the item is set in transit - you most likely already know these items are going in transit!
Also when creating a library card it would be good to be able to set a pop up "are you sure you wish to save a library card without (for ex) PIN code"? Sometimes you don't need that, but that is really rare.

This idea will be reviewed by the Innovative product team for consideration in planning the upcoming product roadmap.

I'd like to add that while this could be beneficial to circ staff in streamlined workflows, I as a Sierra admin would like more control and therefore this configuration should be made on a per-dialog, per-user basis in the web-based admin app and never in the SDA's user-accessible Settings or Options.
For example, when placing an item-level hold in the SDA I am prompted to "Page For Item?" While paging seems like a no-brainer, there are times I do NOT want to page for the item because of testing I am performing, and I may very well have the item in hand at the time. So I would set MY Sierra login to display all popups, however tiresome they may be.
Another use case for admin-only control: We have a problem with circ staff clicking through item- and patron-level messages (the m-tagged field) as they pop up without reading them. Sometimes the message is REALLY important, such as alerting the staffer that service to the wi-fi hotspot in hand has been suspended (because it was previously overdue) and said service needs to be reinstated prior to filling a patron hold with the item.

This would be great for clearing the item status at checkout. Most of our item statuses want patrons to checkout an item (Display, Staff Picks, etc.) and we want the status to automatically clear at checkout. We should be able to tell the system which statuses need a pop-up box and which do not.
