Book icon being used to represent DVDs when cover art isn't available.
I'd like to request that LX Starter change the icon associated with missing DVD cover art to something that represents that the item is a movie. Currently, when DVD artwork is not available, LX Starter is subbing in an icon which shows a silhouette of a book.

Ability to create folders in Design Blocks creation
Our library offers multiple languages, it would be efficient and a better UX experience to create folders that the user can then go in and create blocks tailored to it.
For organization, it would make sense to create a folder- ex. Spanish blocks > add/create all spanish content blocks.
The design blocks doesnt have a search function, so I have to go through and find what it is I'm looking for.

Include MANY more patron fields as Merge Tags
Looking through the available merge tags, I see very few fields from the patron record represented: First name, last name and patron barcode. When I attended webinars on LX Starter many months ago, I could swear the audience was told that all fields exposed to the print templates interface would likewise be available in LX Starter.
Having read the Idea Exchange post https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951985-lx-starter/suggestions/46813306-take-a-good-hard-look-at-patrons-data-privacy-in, it is clear that many of these patron record fields are being passed through to LX Starter, so please make them available for merging and/or to drive conditional logic (which is a whole 'nother suggestion).

Display sent to email address in notice history
In Activity history in the LX Starter dashboard, also display which email address a notice was sent to.
It would be helpful to see which email address a notice was sent to. The patron may have recently changed their email address and troubleshooting notices would be easier if you could see this history.

More information added to bounced email notices
Currently, the email notification that is sent to our designated library email box only list the email address of the patron that has the bounced notice. Please add at least the patrons name and barcode. Adding a copy of the entire notice would be better

Increase Notices Subject Line 78 characters to 100 characters
Increasing LX Stater Notice Subject Line from the new 78 characters limitation to 100 characters. The added characters in the Subject Line will benefit other languages than English that utilize more characters for the same message.

Plain Text option in LX Starter
Allow customers an option to keep plain text email notices in LX Starter.
Polaris ILS has a Y/N option in the patron record for "email notices in plain text".
I would like LX Starter to check and honor this option in the patron record and format email notices according to this preference.(snip of patron registration/OPAC self registration view attached)

Social Media Icons
A few suggestions:

2) Remove the Tinder icon
3) Add a Podcast icon3 votes -
Regionalize alphanumeric date format in multilingual notices
Currently, LX Starter uses a single date format "across all notice emails". However, libraries sending multilingual notices may require alphanumeric dates which are tailored to the correct regional format on a per-language basis.
In Canada, for example, dates are rendered in French as "le 11 septembre 2023" and in English as "September 11, 2023" rather than "September 11th, 2023" as currently configurable in LX Starter.
While it is possible to use the "yyyy-mm-dd" numeric format as a workaround, LX Starter also suppresses the month's leading zero (i.e., "2023-9-08") which also conflicts with the bilingual numeric date format prescribed for use…

Limit number of soft bounces.
Limit the number of soft bounces to 2 and then it becomes a hard bounce. Patrons with email soft bounces, are not getting any notifications. Hold Notices are negatively effecting our customer service since patrons only have 5 days to pick up the item and they are not receiving the notice. The suggestion to manually monitor and update bounced emails is time consuming and requires daily staff time which is already limited. When larger library systems move to LX Starter, this could be potentially thousands of emails to monitor.
Please consider limiting soft bounces ASAP.20 votesWe are planning on limiting soft bounces this quarter (Q3 2023).

Need a Renewals Remaining Merge Tag
There needs to be a Merge Tag which coincides with Renewals Remaining. I'm told that the current Merge Tag only applies to Renewals Used.

Offer sorting options for Notice Activity Logs
Currently, it seems the Notice Activity Logs page can only be sorted by the Time Sent column. I would like the ability to sort by any of these columns, especially patron name or barcode. This would allow us to see all of this type of notice that was sent to a particular patron when they report problems receiving LX Starter notices.

Have an option to NOT automatically update notice preference when an email hard bounces
Default contact method:
Have an option to NOT automatically update notice preference when an email hard bounces.We have many patrons that have the notice preference type for text message but also receive emails. If their email bounces and the notice preference type is changed, they will no longer receive the text messages they signed up for.

Add text before the patron's name - depending on their patron type.
We would like to have the ability to add text before the patron's name - depending on their patron type. Right now we use Putty path AASOC #072 to call a message for our children's cards that reads " To the parent or guardian of", we would like that same functionality in LX starter.

Change the term “Mail” to “Print”
I would like to see consistent terminology for the communication methods available in LX Starter. Currently, the term “Mail” is used in some places to refer to printed notices, while the term “Print” is used in other places, like the ILS.
One example of where the term “Mail” is used is in the Default Contact Method setting under LX Starter > Settings > Communication Settings. This setting allows library staff to indicate the fall back communication preference for hard bounced or complained email addresses, until they are resolved. However, in both Polaris ILS and Sierra ILS, the term “Print” is…
