Hidden review file management and bulk delete
Idea Description
Create tools for managing the hidden review files that are created by the system or record loading. Being able to see the list of hidden review names, record numbers, dates, would be great for system housekeeping. Being able to bulk delete the review files many of which are from record loading would be even better!Idea Value
This idea would go a long way to helping system administrators clean up the review file section of the system. The currently method of having to copy them is clunky at best. Deleting them one at a time is even clunkier and…34 votesThis idea has been selected to include in Sierra 6.4

Automate moving YTDCIRC to LYRCIRC at year-end and don't update last updated date.
At the end of the year/before we open on January 2nd, we have to manually zero out the YTDCIRC and replace the LYRCIRC with YTDCIRC. Besides being time-consuming if you have a lot of records, this process also then changes the last updated date of the item record, which makes that date less helpful, especially for missing, lost, etc items. This should be done automatically, and it should not change the last updated date of the item record.

Add "Back" option vs. just "Next" or "Cancel" in Record Creation screen
When you create (a) new item(s) while cataloging -- or create any records actually! -- the pop-up that guides you to enter the data step-by-step should have a back button. Currently, if you make a mistake and click Next you either have to cancel and start over or keep going and fix the mistake on each item record individually after saved/completed. It can be quite tedious when you are adding multiple items at once.
Idea Value
Save time! What would just take a few clicks/seconds to fix can sometimes mean a lot more time, especially if you Cancel and have…

Increase the Max Item Categories in the Patron Block Table
Increase the Patron Block Table to allow more than 4 block categories for groups of items by item type/location.
We would like to see Innovative add at least 6 additional categories, bringing the total categories up to 10.
Idea Value
Libraries are lending an increasing array of non-traditional materials. More categories in the patron block table are necessary to facilitate limited lending on these materials.This would allow libraries to limit lending more granularly. For example, allowing a set number of items in each of the following categories:
Books -100
CDs - 25
DVDs - 5
Videogames - 1
Games/Puzzles…50 votesThis idea was selected in MEEP voting for Sierra 6.5.

Open and edit patron record from item record
When viewing an item record, you can double click on the patron# and you can view the patron record of the person who currently has the item on loan. It would be good to also be able to have the option to actually edit the patron record, and to also be able to access what they currently have checked out.
Idea Value
This would negate having to have another Sierra session open and do a separate search for the patron's record so as to check what else they might have on loan, and/or to amend their record/add a message etc.…75 votesThis idea was selected in MEEP voting for Sierra 6.5.
