We have something like this in our system but we have to maintain it by using custom tables. It is critical for our state reporting and not having something like this would prevent us from moving to hosting.

If you authenticate as a staff member, you should be able to use API methods that would normally require a patron PIN:

Just verifying, you've tried this and it doesn't work for you? https://documentation.iii.com/polaris/7.8/Default.htm#PolarisStaffHelp/UI_Ref/PRadminPat/Patron_Registration_Filter_Patron_Codes_Dialog_Box.htm

Yeah, I was surprised too Lynn.
At least on the Sierra side it both warns and allows you to continue with the import. That way you don't have to spend a couple of weeks in back and forth with the vendor asking them what the problem is and why their file format is borked only to find out it was your ILS all along.

Even better would be the system not allowing an invoice from 10 years ago and another vendor to be treated as a "duplicate" for the incoming invoice.

I'm not 100% what you're thinking about here, could it be similar to this idea? https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/50193054-combine-current-and-recent-workform-tracker-into-o

Per "T's" comment - another option like sending an immediate test "Let us know if you got this text/email/phone call" could be another good approach that ensures that the notification method works without requiring the confirmation loop. And since it would be done by staff initiating something on the patron account it would allow for a more controlled rollout.

Although I know this would be more steps than happen today, I think that it is not an unusual flow for most accounts that people establish these days and would ultimately benefit both the patron with being assured they can get their notices and the library for having a better reputation for sending notices and lower costs (SMS/texts) for making sure those notices get through.

Summary:
It would be extremely useful to have a “Show SQL” button available for both ad-hoc and saved reports in SimplyReports.Background and Problem:
There are currently well-known workarounds that allow users to view or reconstruct the SQL generated by a report, but they’re tedious and confusing. These methods often involve extra steps like exporting report definitions or view the page source after a scary Reload warning message.Proposed Solution:
Add a “Show SQL” button directly in the report interface—both for ad-hoc reports and saved reports. When clicked, it would display the underlying SQL that SimplyReports is generating for that report.Benefits:
• Faster customization: Users could take the generated SQL and adapt it for their own use cases that SimplyReports doesn’t natively support.
• Integration with other tools: Users could copy the SQL and use it in external systems like FindTool SQL searches or other analytical environments.
• Reduced support burden: Empowering users to self-serve their SQL needs would reduce the number of requests for special report modifications.Additional Considerations:
• Ideally, it should be formatted for readability.
• An optional download or copy-to-clipboard feature would enhance usability even further.Keywords for searching: Simply Reports

For the original poster, in case you are primarily looking to use this with Outreach patrons, this is a feature of the ORS module: https://documentation.iii.com/polaris/7.8/Default.htm#PolarisStaffHelp/Patron_Services/PPoutreach/Check_out_items_from_the_pick_list.htm
It would be nice to see this expanded to other record types if a library wanted.

I like this idea. I'm sure there is enough room to include the control numbers below the current icons.

Given that we don't use pronouns on any notices, the upcoming Patron Alert feature might help for this: https://portal.productboard.com/iii/6-innovative-product-status-board-new/c/1056-patron-alert-note-
Though that field would not be patron updatable, which I would assume would be the preference for most people.

Specifically the issue here in leap seems to be looking for SOME sort of delimiter. So, 614.837.8533 will match 614-837-8533 but 6148378533 will NOT match either of those.

This is a critical blocker. If it is not possible to use the Polaris patron id, then as a workaround, there should at least be some sort of transfer or migration service that could be run at least on an account by account basis to merge the old lists into the new account.

This would be super helpful. I'm also adding in the keyword "audit" to make this easier for myself to find in the future :)
