  1. Make the custom search condition add or subtract buttons visible all the time, not just when hovered over

    Please make the custom search condition add or subtract buttons visible all the time again, instead of only when you hover over them!

    I use custom search a lot both when searching OCLC for harder to find items, and when pulling statistics or answering questions from admin, and this change with 9.2 to no longer make these buttons visible makes things surprisingly difficult.

  2. Turn off animations on Due Date calendar in Client

    When trying to change the due date in ILLiad using the built-in calendar, moving through the months using the arrows results in an animation, and you can’t scroll to the next month until the animation stops for the current month. It’s just a fraction of a second, but when we receive a generous renewal of several months, it’s an annoyance to have to wait for the animation before moving to the next month, rather than having the month load instantly as it does in many built-in calendars in other software/apps. (Workaround: I'll try to get in the habit of typing…

  5. View item format on detail page

    It would be helpful to view an item's format in the Detail page of a request. We recently sent a music score instead of a sound recording because the titles were the same and no ISxN was given. We would love an option for the format to be visible in the Loan Info tab (preferable) or Item Information section.

  7. Additional options in the Lending Overdues ribbon

    It would be very helpful to have the Lending Overdues ribbon have the options that various queues have: Export, Add Flag, etc.

  8. Copy Layout & Grid Settings - Separate Borrowing, Doc Del, and Lending

    In the Staff Manager, please adjust the granularity of the Copy Layout & Grid Settings by Borrowing, Doc Del, and Lending. If I make major changes to the Borrowing layout, I'd like to be able to copy those changes to the relevant student employees & staff, but not overwrite their layouts in DocDel and Lending. It would be very helpful if we could indicate which layouts to change and which to retain in these different areas of ILLiad.

  9. Modify most requested journal web reports

    The current Web Report for Borrowing Most Requested Journals is looking at the ESPNumber to match multiple requests. Whereas, the default copyright query looks at the PhotoJournalTitle field. This causes confusion where there is discrepancy between to the 2 lists. It is also becoming more common to request items from a document provider resulting in a request without an ESPNumber.

  11. Add a verification when cloning requests

    After clicking "Clone to Current User" have a pop-up window/box that asks "Are you sure you want to clone this request?" Several times I have accidentally cloned a request when I didn't mean to.

  12. Add a 'Route to Borrowing' button to the Search Results ribbon for DD requests.

    Searches for Borrowing requests include two routing buttons in the upper ribbon, one for routing the request within borrowing, and a second to route the Borrowing request to DD.

    It would be nice to see the reverse on the DD side: a button for routing within DD and a button to route to Borrowing. Currently you can only route DD requests to Borrowing one at a time by opening each individual request to access the routing to Borrowing button.

    Lender Addresses linked to Invoices that are Active (even those marked Paid) cannot merge with another address. The only option currently is to manually change or delete invoices first. Please consider allowing Paid invoices to not be considered "Active

  14. Installing : Default "unchecked" for opening SQL Manager for small point releases

    Would anyone else like to avoid this when doing "small point" updates to clients?

    When we have small point updates for ILLiad the last step in the process opens the SQL Manager window, unless you uncheck a box on the “Finish” screen, it also (sometimes) does not replace the ILLiad icon on the Taskbar.

    For larger updates, full versions, ILLiad usually has a script that skips (or pre-unchecks) that box and also replaces the icon on the Taskbar.

    In cases here, the SQL Manager window opened and not everyone knows what to do with that (some staff, students are thrown…

  15. Additional location tracking to prevent human error.

    When a lender mistakenly ships something without updating it in ILLIAD, it can often be missed on the borrowing side as well leading to confusion when additional items arrive and libraries not receiving compensation. This is a human error but if there was a software side way to help prevent this it would help high volume users.

  17. Allow staff to limit search on batch processing form to ILL Number or TN

  18. Make Wanted By/Service Type field on request form consistently say Wanted By

    This will allow that field to save when edited. The Service Type label is very very old and doesn't reflect any database field names.

  19. Treat Checked Out to ILL Staff the same as Checked Out to Customer in the staff client

    Currently, Checked Out to ILL Staff behaves like a processing queue in the staff client versus like Checked Out to Customer. So Request Sent shows as an option versus the standard options for a checked out item.
