  2. We would like improved customization for the prompts/menu options heard when callers dial in to IPA. Our Library's preferred designation for patrons is "customers," & while that seems trivial, we'd like it to be consistent. We'd also like to be able to change things like "patron barcode" to "library card number."

  3. Customers would like to be able to remit charges due to the library by telephone.

    We have 125K+ patrons who have their notice preference set to telephone. A number of them also rely on IPA to manage their library transactions, whether its to review & renew borrowed or requested items.

    We would like to continue to enhance their experience & provide them with the same level of account management available to customers who manage their account online. In this case, we'd like to see IPA add functionality that would allow customers to pay any charges on their account via Innovative…

  4. Due to limitations in the fields exposed to print templates, we have repurposed SIerra's TELEPHONE2 field for use as a non-telephonic field. It would be helpful if IPA would place calls only to the phone numbers defined in a tag list of patron fields defined by each library.

    Alternatively, expose more patron record fields to the print template interface. :D

  5. To view a customer's recent history of telephone notifications, from their record, staff currently navigate from View - Teleforms. We haven't used Teleforms as a product since 2017, & it's a little confusing to have to explain to staff the connection between this, i-tiva, IPA, Vega Interact, or whatever other products might be in play.

    We'd like to see the ability to rename Teleforms to whatever the locally used product might be, or even something generic, like Telephone Notification History.

  6. Amharic is an official language of our library. We would love to have SMS message support that language.

  7. IPA's reporting allows you to filter or search call campaigns for a specific customer name or phone number. The results list is brought up onscreen (see attached image 1). You have the option to Export the results list, but when you do so, it's the entire call campaign, not your search results (see attached image 2).

    It would be far more useful for review & troubleshooting if the Export &/or Print options applied to what you were looking at onscreen.

  8. Currently, when you search the call campaign results for a patron's name or number you're brought to a list of results. When you click on one of the results & want to go back & look at another, you hit the back button & you see a "confirm form resubmission" message & then, rather than going back to the results page, have to conduct your search again.

    Search results should be preserved for review/navigation from one to the next until they're no longer needed.
