Backup Load Profiles using Sierra Desktop Put PC, don't require FTP
Even if III isn't able to provide a full-fledged editing interface for Load Profiles, add a mode in which we can view Load Profiles and Put PC to back them up. That's so much easier than having to setup FTP to the site, which our IT prohibited when I first gave up on it. This should apply to both m2btabs and m2bmaps.
Idea Value
Make it possible to backup load profiles on PC, which would enable much easier documentation of the variety of load tables and maps, and the load profile menu.23 votesThe new Load Table editing features in Sierra 6.3 will include the ability to export a load profile and save it using the Sierra client.

Reduce time for Patron record payment lock
The patron record payment lock time should be reduced or have the ability to be overridden. Four hours is an excessive amount of time for a record to be locked. If a patron record is open for more than, say, 15 minutes (or even 5 minutes), the other session is probably not in the midst of making a payment.

Idea Value
Having an alert to III would save time troubleshooting if it's a metadata problem and raising tickets for something that could have an alert on it.37 votes -
Better Load Table Editing Platform
The Load Tables are a critical point for any data management of a library. While many functions and features have been migrated from character-based system access to web access or within the SDA, this feature has not changed. Programming with what seems like a unix-based editor reminds me of the "dark ages" of programming.
Idea Value
Many times the syntactical error or omission of a line in my load table editing sessions happen because of the UNIX-like environment where editing takes place. Increased modernization of the editor would streamline the process.33 votesThis idea was selected for development from the All Systems Go challenge.
Design of this enhancement is underway. I will provide an update when we have determined which release will include this enhancement.
