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.

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.

Make Visually Similar Characters Interchangeable in Searches
It would be helpful if confusable characters, lookalikes, homoglyphs, and diacritics were treated as interchangeable when conducting searches. Currently, it seems that searches require the exact Unicode characters used in the item being searched for. This can be problematic because text copied from an original source may include a variant of a character that users might not recognize or know how to input when later searching for the same item. As a result, they may not be able to find the item they are looking for. For example, a user searching for "Cost-Effectiveness Thresholds" with a keyboard hyphen will not…

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.

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 -

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.

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…

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.

Enable 'Course Not Configured' message to be editable
Reference Atlas Systems ticket 36722
Currently, a message displays to users when reserves is not configured for a particular course (using Canvas integration, and possibly other LMS integrations). The message reads "This course has not yet been configured for Ares access. Please contact your instructor or system administrator about configuring this course for use with Ares." We would like this message to be editable/customizable. Per the ticket referenced above, this is not possible with the current Ares configuration.

Include a column for last flag added
The new column would show the LastFlag added in the item grid and only display whichever flag name from the ItemFlags table that had the most recent date.
