I don't mean to be rude, but there is almost a 0% chance of this happening. The current permissions are so interweaved with the system it would be practically impossible to implement something like this. There would be thousands of additional tests that would need to be evaluated and run, tons of edge cases that would come up and it would introduce dozens of new bugs that would probably take years to fix.
All in an era when most systems are going towards MORE levels of authentication and logging and not less.
I'm glad you posed the suggestion; I just would hate for you to be planning for a future considering when this might happen when it is so unlikely. You might check on the possibility of using single sign-on, so for example, when someone logs into their email, they can click over to Leap without having to enter their password again.
I've also seen some libraries that would do something like print a person's username as a barcode and then they could scan that barcode and it would type in their username and all they'd need to enter was a password.

"Sounds like an easy patch" In fairness to the dev team, web browsers make it VERY hard to write to the local file system because of security considerations. In order to save outside of the browser, it will likely require installing some sort of helper application.
And as another small point of clarification, I think this technically gets stored in the IndexedDB or localStorage which are *somewhat* safer than just the plain browser cache.
I'm still in favor of doing something better, but it will likely require a "helper" application to get installed on the computers.

Saving the information in the browser cache could lead to catastrophic data loss. This renders the offline capabilities of Leap as unusable in many organizations.

This would be a GREAT quality of life improvement for the de-duper!

-Expected no eReceipts will send :( I understand this helps make the implementation easier, but a bit of a sad face nonetheless.

This came up today in the IUG Zoom forum on tech services in Leap.

To clarify @Gabrielle is this currently scoped for things returning home ONLY, or will it accommodate items transferred to fill hold requests too?

Automating this or at least making the manual process easier without having to log into multiple branches would be great.

Maybe a good middle ground is not enabled notices on the patron account until the notification delivery method has been confirmed. So the account could be created but notices wouldn't go out and the account would be cleared labeled as having its notices not going out until a confirmation link was selected that established good working communication first.

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.

Agreed, we've seen similar issues with being able to "browser" authority records because it attempts to open the authority record in edit mode by default.

Not being able to accurately rely on selecting the proper postal code when it has been supplied with this information is troublesome.

This is something we do via SQL regularly; it would be a blocker for us moving to hosting with having someway to build a record set using an arbitrary list of bib ids.

Great suggestion @Alexis on being able to launch from the dup detection screen.

We haven't thought about giving this permission to staff directly but it would be a big improvement over them having to open a ticket, especially if we could give them a link to do it directly in WebSA.

This would be great as it would allow for new dedup processes to be explored while being able to safely merge the records and their holdings.

Another option just to put out there for consideration is this script that will sync the additional and deletion of holdings automatically: https://forum.innovativeusers.org/t/oclc-worldcat-data-sync-powershell-script/2754

Agreed. This would be similar to what was released for record sets recently and would be a nice quality of life improvement for sure!
