1. Patron Record Display - Increase Height and/or Allow Column Adjustments w/Custom Display

   When you retrieve a patron record, the system displays information from that record in the top half of the window. See https://csdirect.iii.com/sierrahelp/Default.php#sril/sril_disp_patron.html for details.

   This height of this area of the patron record display is quite short.
   While you can make adjustments with WHAT is displayed, the number of columns used in each display is not configurable. (I.e., the Custom Display option always displays the specified record fields in a single column.).

   Yes, to view more fields in the patron’s record, you can hover your cursor over the i icon (which no one pays attention to/misses completely), and an expanded display of the patron’s record appears in a pop-up window.

   However, this still requires additional action from the staff to get there. You should be able to customize what you want to see, that meets the needs of your staff, and have it show up at the top of the record (an incredibly short field in proportion to the rest of the display).

   Idea Value
   Remove steps currently needed to see desired/necessary information in a patron record -- save time and frustration.

2. Browse Display in SDA - Allow Ability to Customize or Expand

   We would like the ability to customize the "browse display" where the result of records show up after the indexed search. Specifically, we'd like the option to show fields that are only available if you make the effort to expand the display.
   Currently, the description column shows the indexed entry, title, author, ISBN, Call Number and location. The pub year would be helpful (as would the 490) for when staff is asked for an author's next book in a series, and they don't know the series title, just the author's name. Especially authors who have multiple series. So for our purposes, we'd like the publication year and series title.
   Yes, if you move the cursor (mouse pointer) over the circled ! graphic (which no one pays attention to/misses completely), the expanded record display will pop up in a separate window.

   However, this still requires extra steps to simply see some basic information that we'd like our staff to see, at a glance.

3. provide indication when there are new/cancelled orders to be posted

   Staff are often confused by the need to post in order for new/cancelled orders to be reflected in their funds, particularly as the system does not provide an indication that those changes need to be committed. These are included when you select post all within the pay an invoice function (which staff won't look at if they aren't actively paying an invoice) but they do not appear listed within any of the 10 payment sessions or under funds adjustments.

   Adding an entry for perhaps some more prominent indicator that funds may not reflect current totals will help greatly to remind staff of the need to post these updates to their funds.

4. Module data on the library catalogue (Online Reading List)

   We are using Talis Aspire as our Online Reading List.

   We are looking for ways to synchronise module code and module name data from Talis Aspire with our library catalogue so that we can easily identify whether a book on our catalogue is on a reading list.

   Attached please find the example that captured from other library.
