Auto Trim trailing spaces from varfields
It's quite easy when entering data into varfields across the record types of Sierra to inadvertently include some trailing spaces, particularly when cutting and pasting text. I don't believe there is any value in retaining those excess spaces and they can cause problems with various tasks such as SQL searches and global updates if those invisible characters are not accounted for.
I'd like to suggest that whenever text is entered into a varfield and the record is saved, that a right trim is performed upon that field to remove any trailing spaces.

Excess spaces and they can cause…25 votesThis idea would need to be refined to be implemented in Sierra. The idea would need to be implemented on a system-wide basis and thought would need to be given to whether there are use cases where trailing spaces would need to be retained.
This idea will be archived for future reference and may be re-considered for a future release.

Add a filter to allow searching of unsuppressed records only
At present, a general search on Sierra brings up all records whether suppressed or unsuppressed. The plus sign next to the search button allows filtering of these results by material type, language, collection etc. but there is no way to just return records for unsuppressed bibliographic records or unsuppressed items. Having the ability to search for unsuppressed bibliographic records means that you do not then have to trawl through copious irrelevant records to find the desired record.
Idea Value
It will speed up searching.40 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

URL Checker should not check Suppressed records
Enhance the URL Checker so that it does not check suppressed records
Idea Value
When downloading or importing a group of records, they sometimes have many extra URL's or 856 fields in them. Some other fields such as subjects also have nlm url's in them and one of the publisher fields has a publisher url in it. It can take time to clean up this records but the URL Checker checks before they are ready for public viewing. This wastes time going through the URL Checker and ignoring these false positives. It would be a good enhancement for all libraries…23 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Create List export should have option to include subfield delimiters
When exporting data from Create List, it would be useful to be able to include subfield delimiters in the data.
Idea Value
Sometimes I want to export data so I can search and manipulate the data in another system like Excel or OpenRefine. However the Export Records function leaves out subfield delimiters. So for example 020|a and 020|z become exactly the same in the exported data.33 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Allow users to delete their own Global Updates saved on Server
I've found the ability to save complicated global updates on the server for reuse to be a huge time-saver. But I recently needed to delete a couple of the updates saved on the server and was suprised I had to contact Innovative to do that. It would be great if that was something we could do ourselves!
Idea Value
I don't mind contacting Innovative for help and in many cases prefer their assistance! But in this case it seems like if we can create these saved updates, we should be able to delete them ourselves or at least edit the…19 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Ability to create a load profile that will automatically use review files
I want to be able to create a load profile that will default to use review files when loading.
Idea Value
I have record loading projects that always need the Use Review Files function, but I don't always remember to check the box. It would be useful if I could make a setting in the load profile that would check the box for me, so I don't have to remember.21 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.

Easily move a list to correct sized file in Create Lists
I would like a function that would move a file to a correct sized list automatically. You just press this button and it moves the file to the smallest open file that will fit your list. It would automatically empty the original file and select the new one.
Idea Value
We frequently have to move lists because they turn out to be smaller than expected, and we want to put them in a better sized file. This is possible with the copy function, but then you have to go back and empty the original file. This is cumbersome.54 votesIn accordance with the Idea Graduation Workflow guidelines agreed upon by Innovative and IUG, this idea has been closed because it was submitted more than two years ago and has not been selected for inclusion in the product.
