Scan barcodes directly into Create List review file
The "import records" within Create List was a game changer. But going a step further would be adding the ability to direct scan barcodes into a review file. This would save time in circumstances where you have only a few records you need to update.

Customize default item view based on function
It is currently an option to be able to set the default view of an item record across Sierra. However, it would be nice to be able to have a different default view set for the different functions in Sierra.
For example:
When in the Circulation function - I'd prefer the default view to be Hold.
When in the Cataloging function - I'd prefer the default view to be Item.
When in the Acquisitions function - I'd prefer the default view to be Order.I understand that I could just have multiple windows open and set the default view differently…

Restrict Location Code Edits to Locations in Scope (especially in Rapid Update)
There is currently a setting allowing us to prevent logins from editing records with a location code outside of their current scope. However, users are able to edit records in their scope to have location codes outside of their scope, which then blocks them from being able to edit the records again. This happens accidentally sometimes, and is particularly a problem in Rapid Update. It would be great if item location dropdowns in Rapid Update, and possibly the item record as well, only showed locations in the user's scope in order to prevent this problem. Alternately, the system could prevent…

Add a hyperlink to the author, series, and subject fields in Sierra
When working in a Sierra bib record, I would like to click on the author, series and subject fields so I can see a list of records that have those same authors, series, and subjects. Encore has this capability. I would like to see it in Sierra.

Control of Scheduler FTP File Names
When you export a file with Scheduler FTP, it currently adds a time and date stamp on the end of the file name. We have no control over this addition to the file name. This stamp makes the file completely useless for many applications. Many of the vendors we might send files to require particular file extensions on our files, such as .mrc. Since this stamp is added to the end of the file name, it is not possible to specify the required file extension.
As a result Scheduler is completely incompatible with Ingram's Ipage service for example.
We need…

Fix default for Scheduler's output MARC records
Scheduler's output MARC records function requires that you send something in the Remote Directory field. If you are sending to the root of the remote server, then you have to include "./" in the Remote Directory field or your export will fail.
It would be extremely helpful if "./" were included in the default set up for output in this field. I just had a ticket open for months with the help desk, and the solution was "./" in Remote Directory. Your own support staff doesn't know this and/or doesn't remember it. This should just fill in automatically when I…

Add a new filter to the heading report to exclude suppressed records
Currently at the time of creating the header report it is possible to exclude records without CAT DATE. We request to add a new filter to the heading report from the fixed field "Bib Code 3" in order to exclude bibliographic records with the value pending validation (supressed records from webpac).

Sort Headings Reports by bib record
When going through various Headings Reports, we'll end up reviewing the same bib record that has multiple first-time-use entries throughout the report. It would be nice if they could be sorted by the bib record to reduce staff time and stay in the same record as long as needed.
Perhaps the bib record could be pulled from the Entry column and inserted into a new column in the display that could then be sorted like the other available columns.

increase the number of indexed characters in title keys (long titles do not sort in SDA Search)
A Keyword search in the SDA Search/Holds does not sort titles as expected because of the number of indexed characters in title keys.
Innovative has noted: "These title keys are a fixed number of characters and is based on approximately the first 30 characters of the title. We don't have any way to adjust this in the system configuration. "
We have DVD titles that include the title, season, and episodes. These do not file as expected in a SDA search because all of the metadata is longer than 30 characters.
I understand that the "phrase" facet after performing a…

Batch item addition to bib records in a review file?
Can we have a feature in Global Update that allows us to attach item records to bib records from a review file? For example, we discovered we had a batch of 50 bib records without items (these were electronic and just need an item all with the same location code) but now I have to go through each one and individually attach. It would be great to do this in one fell swoop.

Allow @ov_attach_insert with @ov_priority.
In a load profile you can only use @ov_attach_insert with @ov_action of a, b, c, or e. However it is possible to do an a match and attach with any @ov_action if you use the @ov_priority function. It should be possible to use @ov_attach_insert in that situation as well.
I use @ov_attach_insert on all my match and attach loaders to insert a note field I use in all my records, but I can't use that in the case of @ov_priority loaders because I can't use @ov_attach_insert.

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.
Idea Value
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.
