Track flag history along with status history of each request It would be really useful at our library to be able to track flag history in the Staff Client along with status/queue history of each request. We would love to see what flags have historically been added to a request, and when and by whom they were added and removed.
There are several flags in our system that stay on requests indefinitely because that's the only way we can identify and run reports on those requests specifically. There are also many times it would be useful to see who applied a flag to a given request so that follow-up clarifying…

Connection Manager stops importing Lending when invalid unicode character in a lending request gets stuck Sometimes an OCLC lending request includes a unicode character that keeps it from being able to be imported into ILLiad. Right now sites just notice this is happening because Lending requests get stuck behind it. And until the OCLC request is cancelled via Worldshare, the Lending requests aren't able to be imported.
Could there be a way for staff to see that this is the issue in the Connection Manager log in the client, or something else?

In the ILLiad scanning interface, allow function keys for B&W, grayscale, and RGB settings. The ILLiad scanning interface already allows use of a Quick Scan Key to initiate a scan, but it's highly cumbersome to still mouse into Settings and switch the dropdown back and forth between B&W, grayscale, and RGB within a request. Could you create a functionality so that staff can program keyboard function keys for each of those color settings and easily switch between them when scanning?

Restrict access to Policies Directory in Staff Manager We would like to restrict access to the Policies Directory in the ILLIad client by adding permission levels to staff users. Currently this link is available to any staff including student workers who are using the ILLiad client to process requests. We have recently had an issue with a student worker changing our Policies Directory without our knowledge.
The change would inactivate or hide the link to the Policies Directory if the user's permissions did allow for that access.

ILLiad Lending scanning display email of borrower In the lending scanning window, display the email address of the borrower. When sending via Article Exchange it isn't always known if the email address is filled out in the address book. If the email address is not in the address book, the article does not get delivered.

Consistency with overdue notice schedule settings & disabling notices Currently LendingReminderDaysBeforeOverdue and BorrowingingReminderDaysBeforeOverdue adding value of 0 will disable lending reminders. However, in the other keys for scheduling the overdue notices, a 0 value will send the notice on the day the item is overdue.
It would be helpful if these keys worked the same way and all allowed the ability to disable the notice if you want to send less than three notices with the automated service.

Ability to have separate Lending constant data for different formats Ability to create separate Lending constant data for different formats. Life for example, only lend a/v for less time than a regular book and renewal versus non renewal. Then when update, click on a drop down menu for the constant data and scan in all items that apply, then process that queue. Then can do other formats the same way.

Client fields for Transaction vs Database Fields - all should be available There are several fields in the Transactions table of the ILLiad database that show up on the Borrowing Request form, but not on the Check in from Lending Library form, or vice versa. Examples: "Priority Shipping" shows up on Borrowing Request form, but not Check In form "Handle With Care" shows up on Check In form, but not Borrowing Request form. These items also do not show up on the list of fields available when customizing form layouts. Is there another way to add them to a form? If not, is there a reason for this inconsistency?

Allow cloned requests to be routed Option 1: Add a tracking entry that is created before the routing rule is triggered so that the routing rule can reference the tracking table.
Option 2: Create a new menu option of Clone and Route that prompts the staff user to pick the new queue.

Create a read-only/distributable form of dbc files or the SQL Alias Manager With SQL Alias Manager 1.3.2 staff with local admin privileges on their desktop or VM’s are no longer able to successfully Set Default (Local Machine) without also requiring Full Control privileges on the folder where the DBC’s reside.
In a shared environment this is an issue because we wouldn't want everyone to have full read/write access to a shared folder where someone could potentially change a dbc file for every staff member. This wasn't an issue with SAM v1.2.2.

Book Chapters - Should use Article holdings path instead of Loan holdings path Book chapter requests use the incorrect custom holdings path; they pull from OCLCILLLoanHoldingsPath instead of OCLCILLArticleHoldingsPath, but the latter is the correct path.

Hard to tell when Editing vs Copying a row in Customization Manager tables When working in the OpenURLMapping table, we noticed it really is impossible to tell if you're in the "Copy" or "Edit" mode because the ID value doesn't show up in either of them. We'd expect it to show while in Edit mode, but be blank in Copy mode.
In general, when working with a table in the customization manager, it gets very confusing when you think you hit Copy but then worry you may have hit Edit instead since the opened row says "Edit Row" either way. If there was some way to indicate better whether you were in Copy…

Make the "Save" button larger on request screens Currently the "save" button is small icon on the top of the window for patron records and updating lender records. Please make it the same size as the other buttons.

Change how system auto-creates and inserts due date for Lending requests At Stanford, we often page books from one site to another and this can take a bit of time. We want the DueDate to reflect when we mark the book as Shipped, instead of when we first open the request. It would be beneficial if changes to this functionality also improved the client's ability to deal with server addons or workflows that bypass opening the request form, entirely, since those requests can wind up missing the due date on pull slips.
