Also, RFID, which is only used by a small percentage of customers has a Leap helper app. Why shouldn't printing, which is likely used by 99% of customers also have a helper app to make it better?

Yes!!!! This is one of the biggest hurdles to getting Leap adopted. And none of the browser solutions is ideal. If you do kiosk printing for receipts, then report printing doesn't work well. I know there was an idealized world where printing wouldn't be needed anymore but we've been testing the limits of that for the past decade and it just isn't a reality, even post COVID. It is simply the best solution in most cases to print out a hold pull list rather than lugging around a heavy AND expensive tablet/laptop. And most customers prefer a printed receipt even in a fine-free world. Please help make Leap printing better.

This would make so many staff happy and would be a great feature to entice people over to leap who aren't already using it.

How would you propose that bibs that have multiple items with different material types be handled?

Just throwing this out here in case anyone sees this and is unaware, but the 970 $h allows you to match on a specific template name rather than the rather unwieldy combination of other codes. I might like to see the length of the $h expanded from 10 characters to allow for more unique template names especially in a consortia environment where the first 3 or 4 characters of the template name are typically the library abbreviation.

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 help address one of the number one issues we have when training new staff and transitioning Polaris Desktop staff to Leap.
It is just too easy to lose your search results in Leap.

The amount of time this would save would almost be unbelievable to quantify. Our notes fields are littered with various date formats and staff initials. All of which could be gone in an instant if someone hits the wrong key. And they could be entered incorrectly because people are just hand typing the information.
I also think the value of blocking versus non-blocking needs to be re-examined in the Leap world where both options work similar when the staff are accessing the account.

Yes, this would be great! We paid for developing the item bulk change template process back in 2018 and were disappointed we couldn't afford the bib bulk change templates at the time. It would be awesome to see this functionality finally expanded to the finicky world of bib bulk changes.
Then it would be even better if those templates could be auto applied via an import profile! https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/46707169-allow-bib-bulk-change-steps-to-be-applied-to-impor

We just had a conversation with a member library cataloger who asked about this today. It would unlock ENORMOUS amounts of time saving. Whereas today, they're likely to skip bulk editing altogether because of the cumbersome nature of having to do it for 3 bib records. I can literally hear the cheers coming from our TS departments the moment this gets added to the system.

This is something our technical services department reports to us regularly. Bibs don't merge because 024 1 & 024 3 technically represent different things (UPC vs EAN) even though they are the same number.

This can be done through the API and through SIP today. You need to contact Overdrive and ask them to map your current barcodes to the patron ID. You'll probably need to send them a mapping file as part of the migration process. Nothing will change for your patrons except for if they get a new barcode, when they log into libby with that new barcode, they'll see the same account information that was their from their previous account.
