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.

Bib level holds should be allowed on records with only non-viable items if there is an order record attached
Bib level holds should be allowed on bibs with non-viable items if there is an active order record attached. Currently, this is not possible, and there is no way to configure for this. There are a number of ways to configure the (many) places dictating holds and what can be held. But at the moment, none of them allow the hold (without a staff override) if the only remaining item is non-viable (missing, lost, etc.)
Idea Value
It doesn't make sense to me that holds are allowed on bib records with only an order record, but as soon as that…14 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.

Identify when a staff user last logged in to Sierra
Provide data for tracking Sierra users (library staff). For example, log sign on and sign out dates and times. Perhaps add a "Last signed in" date field to the user record. Other data points might also be worthy of recording, such as types of records accessed.
Idea Value
Given that libraries handle possibly sensitive personal data, system users who have access to such data should be trackable. Currently, it's not even possible to find when the last time a user has signed on to the system.36 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.

Add option to email checkin receipt to patron
Currently Sierra offers the option to email the patron due date information. We use courtesy notices via email as a backup notification of due dates. We would like the option to email the checkin slip as well. We always offer the option to print a receipt upon checkin, and may patrons appreciate that, but have often commented that it would be more convenient to receive the checkin confirmation via email instead of being printed on a slip of paper that can get lost.
Idea Value
Email is easier to search and archive, whereas a paper receipt is prone to getting…22 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.

Clearer distinction between expired holds and clear the holdshelf
When a patron's hold expires or an item is cleared from the holdshelf, the Program column in View Canceled Holds reads "Clear Holdshelf" for both processes. A more apparent distinction between the two would be helpful to both patrons and staff.
Idea Value
The ability to see the difference between an expired hold and an item cleared from the holdshelf would allow staff to accurately explain to a patron why their hold was removed from their account. Differentiating between the two would also assist staff in troubleshooting issues with the Clear the Holdshelf and expired holds processes.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.

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.

Block patron circulation based on the number of overdue items
As libraries eliminate fines they would like alternative ways to provide an incentive for patrons to return items. We would like the option to block patron circulation based a Library determined number of overdues. This rule could be added to the Patron Block table so that libraries could customize rule as necessary.
Idea Value
Libraries use the patron block table to determine when a patron is blocked from circulation. As this table exists, could the # of item overdues be added to this table? Libraries could set this behaviour (as they do all patron block settings).Value: Although we never…

transfer holds between bibs
Allow transfer of bib level holds to another bib! Documentation states that only item specific holds can be moved, and then only to bib level on the same bib or to another item. We need to be able to easily move holds or even entire hold lists to another bib.
Idea Value
Moving holds to a new edition of a title, or a new volume of a series. Depending on individual library cataloging and their use of monograph versus serial records, not to mention volume information, there are many instances of having title level holds on something that has been…32 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.
