Update ARES Api to get Reserve Item to include Instructor tags
Ares Reserves API for get a specific course id list of reserve items there is not a field for "Instructor Tags"
However the Ares Soap client to get classes and reserve items does allow for retrieval of filed for "Instructor Tags".
I understand the Ares Soap client is older technology and is expected to be deprecated.
Can the Ares Api for a specific course get reserve items be updated to return the "Instructor Tags"?1 vote -

Provide automatic OCR for posted PDFs
It would be wonderful if Atlas could provide a way to automatically convert PDFs to a more accessible format by performing automatic OCR on the documents uploaded or scanned. Many of these PDFs are re-used when the courses are taught again, so it would be great if OCR could be done on all PDFs in the Ares folders.

Deadlines for Request Submission
To combat the issue of instructors requesting material up until the start (and sometimes after) of the course, perhaps a deadline restriction can be set for open quarters / semesters to prevent last minute requests.

Notes Field in the Course Record
Create a notes field in the course record to be able to add content such as if the course is offered online, deferred course, particular notes in regards to cloning or faculty preferences.

Using virtual flags with courses
Being able to add a virtual flag to an item is really helpful. There are times when I wish I could flag a course as well.

Also, when courses are cloned ahead of time before the new schedule of classes is published, we sometimes have to change the course code (section numbers) so that our script adds students to the course…

Upgrade cross listings to allow Ares to combine cross-listed courses and sections
Currently, when two course pages are generated by imported course and user data, instructors sometimes must add materials separately for each section. For example, for PHIL/RELI101, some students sign up for PHIL101 and others for RELI101. When this happens, the data generate PHIL101 as one course and RELI101 as a separate course, which means that the instructor must upload the materials for one listing and then for another. There is a similar issue with classes with multiple sections. It would be very convenient if the cross listing feature would set things up so that any action done in one connected…

Add crosslistings to custom course search results
We include crosslistings in course counts for statistics and it would be helpful to see CourseNumber and CourseCode for crosslistings displayed in custom course search results in the client. Thanks!

Enhance course cross-listing to include more course info and ExternalCourseIDs
Currently, course cross listing only shows a name and is accessible by students searching for that cross listed course number/name and finding it under the other name. It's not clear to the student that both courses are the same.
