Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• Add a system-level configuration to Sierra to notify a system administrator when an offline circulation file has been uploaded. This configuration shall be in an administrative interface (i.e. circulation options, Admin App, etc.).
• The configuration will provide a field for an email address of one or more people to notify when a file has been uploaded.
• The system administrator shall receive notification when the offline file has been uploaded successfully. -

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• Sierra will have a system-wide option accessible to library system administrators to enable and disable this feature so that it can be turned on if/when the library decides to use the feature.
• When the feature is enabled, a library system administrator will be able to configure the feature to be enabled or disabled at self-check stations. If enabled, Sierra will automatically clear the hold at self-check stations. When disabled, the system will keep the hold on the (duplicate) item.
• When the feature is enabled, a library staff member checking out a non-holdable item will be prompted to cancel or keep the hold on another item on the same bibliographic record.
• The feature will apply to bib and volume-level holds, but not item-level holds since those have been placed on specific items.
• The feature will apply to the holds on a single bibliographic record, not on a group of bibs (e.g. same title in different formats with separate bibs).
• Best effort will be made to include this new functionality in Sierra API.Notes: Must consider the use case where libraries with short loan or reserve collections still want patrons to be able to have an active hold on regular-loan items.

This idea will be reviewed for consideration as an enhancement in an upcoming release.
An error occurred while saving the comment MEEP candidate for the Sierra 6.5 release
Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• Orders displayed in the “purchase orders to FTP” queue will include an order sent column to show the order has already been sent to a vendor.
• Sent orders can be highlighted on the display in a user-defined color according to a user preference.
• If orders that have been sent are selected to send again, a pop-up message containing the text "File contains previously sent orders. Do you wish to proceed?" appears when individual orders are packaged together into a single file for uploading to the vendor.
• The message allows the staff member to back out and remove any previously-sent orders before proceeding or continue.
• The text of the pop-up is internationalized so it can be translated into multiple languages. -

A nearly identical idea was previously submitted through Idea Lab and is under review.

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• The screen will be doubled from its current size to show more patron fields on the screen.
• When using either the brief display or the brief display w/address, the pre-defined fields will wrap across two columns (existing functionality).
• When using the custom patron record display, a library staff member will be able to set the number of columns and the number of fields to display on screen in the Sierra client > Admin > Options > Patron Display tab.
• If there are more fields than can be displayed, a vertical scroll bar will appear on the right side of the screen to show the remaining fields.
• An administrator will be able to set the number of columns and the number of fields to display on screen in a user’s custom patron record display options in the Admin App > Authorization and Authentication > Users > [user] > Options > Patron Display > Custom Display Settings. -

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• An authorized staff user will be able to click on a link to the patron in the item record and navigate to the full patron record in the Check Out (Circulation Desk) function.
• The staff user will be able to edit the patron record, view/manage fines, holds, checked out items – the same as if they had opened the patron record in the Check Out function.
• A user who is not authorized to access the Check Out (Circulation Desk) function will see an override prompt that allows an authorized user to login and continue with the workflow.An error occurred while saving the comment MEEP candidate July 2024

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• Make the not wanted before (NWB) date accessible to library patrons so they can control the earliest date when their holds will be automatically active. This will be the “Thaw” date in the patron interfaces.
• The patron will be able to modify the NWB date from various user interfaces (e.g. WebPAC, Vega Discover, via Sierra API). -

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• New UI will be provided to enable users to enter new borrowing limits based on library policies.
• Limits will be based on a combination of any item type and any patron type OR any patron type and any location.
• The new circulation limits will supplement Item A-D limits, not replace them.
• If the item type/patron type is not specified, Sierra will treat that combination as unlimited, subject to the max items limit in the patron block table.An error occurred while saving the comment MEEP candidate July 2024

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• In the Global/Rapid Update functions, the list of review files to select as the target set of records is augmented with the "system-generated review files" available on the system, in the same way as the Create Lists "copy review file" action.
• A Global/Rapid Update task that targets a "system-generated review file" processes all the records in that file at the time it was selected. In other words, any subsequent updates to that "system-generated review file" (records added/removed, etc.) are not visible to the running Global/Rapid Update process.
• After the Global/Rapid Update process completes, any data related to the record range has been cleaned up (e.g., temporary files deleted, transient review files cleared, etc.).
• Existing review files in Create Lists are not used/modified by the Global/Rapid Update process.

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• A library staff user will be able to apply one or more changes to a set of loan rules without needing to open and edit each loan rule one-by-one.
• The user will receive confirmation before the changes to the loan rules are saved.
• The staff user will be able to create a backup of the loan rules before changes are made.
• The staff user will be able to import a saved set of loan rules from a backup file.
• Loan rules will be validated upon import.Notes: The entire file needs to be exported/imported to maintain the file structure/integrity in Sierra.

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
• The search facets will include a new option that combines (ANDs) the “available in my library” and the “location” facets so that results shown represent items available at the location selected.
Note: Current functionality of the facets “ORs” the fields so that items can be either “in the branch” or “available” and they will display in the results.

An error occurred while saving the comment If the estimated price is modified using Rapid Update, would you be setting the estimated price to the same value for each record or would you expect to set the price on each record separately?

An error occurred while saving the comment Sierra's "remember me" functionality was changed to remember only the username for staff logins. Libraries requested this change, which was implemented in Sierra 5.2 to improve the security of staff user accounts.

• A library staff user authorized to waive fees can waive a partial amount owed by a patron without the need to make a partial payment at the same time.
• The partially-waived amount will be recorded in the patron’s fines history.
• Partially-waived fees will be recorded in the fines and fees report produced by Sierra.
