assign 1st and 2nd tier timeout permissions (for those using context logins) : SDA and Sierra Web
In the SDA OR Sierra Web, the Sierra 2-tier login workflow allows administrators to set a "time-out" setting to the 2nd tier (personalized) login. This setting determines if the session will time out or close after a specific amount of time.
This is an excellent workflow except that there is no setting to manage 1st tier inactivity. This means at the end of the day we have many Sierra licenses that remain open and the Library must manually force close the desktop applications using the "restart a process" in Admin Corner.
Please configure context logins so that Libraries can determine…

Generate Statement of Charges directly within patron record
It would be very helpful to be able to print a Statement of Charges directly from a patron record (and have it formatted for 8-1/2 x 11 paper and mail-ready).
For context, we are a 138-library consortium, all notices are Auto Notices, and we do not run Statement of Charges for the consortium. Yes, you can run a statement for 1 patron in the Notices function, but this requires consortium staff intervention since that permission is locked down to consortium staff. It would be much simpler for our member libraries to be able to print such a statement on an…

Choose Priority between Item-level holds queue and bib-level holds queue
More control over choosing priority between the item-level holds queue and the bibliographic-level holds manually so that the Processing department can pull back specific items on popular, high-volume holds with more ease.

Decision Center: Identify titles eligible for stock rotation in pooling locations
We have a floating collection and use Decision Center to manage our collection. We need to know what is on the shelf OR not on the shelf at multiple sites. To do this, we use excel pivot tables to manipulate the "low circulation weeding reports". I have attached the workflow and the result.
After pivoting the "low circulation weeding reports" (searching for items that have circulated less than 300 times in 1 month at multiple branches) our result includes everything on the shelf at multiple branches. The pivot table allows us to identify which titles are at a branch AND…

Superuser account with access to all accounting units from one log in?
Could we have an enhancement option to create a Sierra user administrator account that has access to all accounting units? I am the only system administrator and cataloger for a library system with multiple accounting units and I would very much appreciate the ability to do everything I need to from one log-in (managing/creating new check-in records, for example).
10 votesThis idea is no longer under consideration because implementing it would require significant changes to accounting units in Sierra.

Always be able to freeze a hold in catalogue(s)
Provide Libraries with the option to "always be able to freeze a bib or item level hold".
If circulation/OPAC rules allow a customer to place a hold, the customer should always be able to freeze it.
At this time, customers cannot freeze a bib level hold if there is an item attached to the bib that could fill the hold. Customers tell us that they want to manage their holds. They are unsure of a "Not Needed Before" date, but they know that they do not want to fill the hold immediately.
This is important for libraries that split out…

REST API security enhancement request: Assign granularity to API role permissions
Objective: Allow Libraries to assign granularity to API role permissions.
When Libraries give a 3rd party vendor read access, we want to be able to restrict the endpoints associated with the role. In addition, we want to restrict the fields that can be returned. Ideally, the implementation of the requested features below will provide an interface to the Innovative clients where the vendor access will be managed.
There are endpoint and field restriction examples below to show how assigning granularity to API role permissions would allow libraries to improve access management.
Endpoint restriction example:
We would like to be able…8 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.

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.

Decision Center: Pooling Report not based on demand
The Pooling Report generates a list of titles where "the pooling branch has more copies than it needs to meet 150% of demand". This is not the only reason that multi-branch libraries with floating collections have pooling collections.
Items in a floating collection can be returned to any location.
Could we have a pooling report that identifies:
1) Titles that have never been assigned or checked out at the location of the drought location
AND/OR
2) Titles not held at the drought location
Thank you,

Cascading Holds
Over a decade ago, III mentioned work being underway on "cascading holds" functionality. Meant for Millennium at the time, the feature seemed to disappear from their development plan due to staff transitions or some other reason, but I'd love to see it brought to fruition.
The feature would give patrons the ability to place a hold on a series (of books or a multi-disc DVD set) & receive the items sequentially), making the request process much more convenient for them & giving libraries the ability to more effectively manage hold fulfillment.
At the time, I was working in an environment…

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…
