  2. Create a secure file upload method for client (using web platform)

    Currently the client uses FTP and it should use another method to increase the security and not rely on FTP protocols.

  4. instructor ability to export more than one citation at a time from web

    They would like for the instructor to be able to export more than one item citation .ris file at a time - perhaps something like a checkbox could be available in the items grid on the course details page where the instructor could check the items to export, and then click on an export button.

  5. Tracking entries reflect more accurately if the system or staff user initiated that status change

    In some cases moving an item to one status immediately moves it to the next applicable status. That tracking entry has the staff username versus a "system" username.

  11. Add call number to fields on the web used for cloning

    A site would like to add the call number field to the items tables on the web that are used for cloning/importing items into courses. The staff feel that the call number is an essential piece of info for faculty. We are not able to add this column in, or modify the tables at all, without breaking the functionality of the checkboxes.

  12. Staff would like to have scanned items automatically moved to the web

    Instead of having staff open the form in the staff client to process the items, they would like a utility to scan that folder and automatically move them.

    This could be an issue if sites are scanning ILLiad and Ares items to the same folder.

  15. Ares user creation date field and method of creation (course load, web service etc)

    There are currently fields in Ares that allows for information about when courses was created and how. There is no such field currently for user account creation but that would be nice to have in my opinion.

  18. Include Tracking and History Tables in Export of multiple items

    I require the DateTime created and DateTime available for a set of a bunch of items. This is not a field in the standard reporting filter. and not exported data when exporting the filtered items.

    Also frustrating to not be able to export all data within a item as a general solutions for any other fields other people might want that exist in the items but not in the parseable report fields.

    recommended solution:
    Include Tracking Table and History Table in Export of multiple items data.

    Thank you.

  19. Keep history with rightsholder instead of the most recent entry only

    We would like to see a history of the communications with the rightsholder. Right now, we can only upload one document, which makes it difficult in those situations where Publisher A says "we don't own it" and sends us to Publisher B. We can only upload the final email for Publisher B. The next time we ask permission for the item, the item still says Publisher A, but our records say Publisher B. We can add notes, but they are not searchable, and then we have to recreate the process all over again. Having the ability to upload multiple documents…

  20. Options besides 'Granted' or 'Denied' in Contact Rightsholder option

    In a Fair Use situation, for example, a rightsholder has died and we can use it fairly, but there was no formal permission granted. We would like to have an options such as "Fair Use" and/or "Good Faith" that will help indicate that copyright wasn't formally granted or denied, but that we have a reason to use this item that is within the law.
