Extend length of firstname field
Extend the max field length for the Users table firstname field beyond 40 Characters. We serve many patrons who have first names that go beyond this limit and their names end up getting truncated, which is not ideal.

Allow customization of shortcut actions
Staff will perform the actions that produce "shortcut" actions in ILLiad accidentally. These should be able to be customized or turned off to prevent accidental prompting of processing steps. (https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011911733-Tips-and-Shortcuts-for-ILLiad

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…

ILLiad / Aeon integration - support for mapping ILLiad fields to Aeon custom fields
It would be great to be able to map ILLiad fields to Aeon custom fields for the ILLiad/Aeon integration.

Single Accessible Coversheet
Interlibary loan articles often fail accessibility checkers when they are uploaded to a learning management system with the coversheet. Articles posted without a coversheet also fail to meet accessibility standards. If ILLiad created a standard coversheet, that meets accessibility standards, all libraries could use this document and help their faculty improve accessibility of shared materials.

Do not bring in Worldcat Identities URLs into ILL forms.
These URLs are coming into the author field in our ILL loan requests. We have to delete them manually so that they don't mess up our printed labels. Can we stop these from automatically being imported into ILLiad?

WMS and ILLiad integration for patron account
Could you integrate WMS and ILLiad so patrons can see all of their checkouts in one place?
We are now checking out ILL items as temp items in WMS so patrons don't have to log into two separate systems. Unfortunately, that means extra work for ILL staff to keep info updated in both systems. It would be great if ILLiad and WMS could talk to each other.

Create/enable a status for a category of users or a specific user be set so that they can only request copies and not loans/returnable. (This could be of use for people who are not local.)

Make time units in turnaround time report uniform
The detailed lending turnaround time report returns time periods that are in minutes, hours, and days, making any kind of comparison impossible. All times should be reported in hours; institutions can then perform calculations as needed.

Web Circulation for Lending
ILLiad Web Circulation is currently limited to updating Borrowing request. Please add Lending functionality so that staff who don't have the ILLiad client can update Lending requests, e.g., as "Mark found" or "cancel".

renewal
Add the ability to specify length of renewal to the groups management tab. Since we can set loan periods based upon group, renewal length should also be able to be specified for each group.

Allow multiple addons to register for the same processing step (system event)
Currently only one addon is able to register for a given processing step (i.e., system event: https://atlas-sys.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ILLiadAddons/pages/3149423/ILLiad+Addon+System+Events ), thus only one can be active at a time and still work successfully. It would be helpful if multiple addons could register in succession for a single system event. To give one example (but there would be many more cases with diverse addons), a library uses the ILLiad Alma NCIP addon when processing received & returned loans in Borrowing, and also wants to use the Flag Popper addon to flag certain requests for staff inspection at point of return (currently only one…

Add confirmation message before printing slips
When clicking Print Stacks Search Items, there should be an "are you sure" message BEFORE requests route to In Stacks Searching so there's a chance to undo or reconsider before requests move.

Include ISIL as supported symbol type in Odyssey protocol.
Odyssey currently supports the symbol types of OCLC, DOC (Docline), ISO and RAPID. At ReShare, we would love it if the schema were updated to include ISIL symbols so that we could transfer files for non-returnables. Please support ISIL (ISO15511:2009) as a library symbol taxonomy for Odyssey. (https://webstore.ansi.org/standards/iso/iso155112009)

Add ability to "pin" or "favorite" staff Note in ILLiad request
In cases where staff have the need to re-use the text of a staff note in an ILLiad request, it would be helpful to enable functionality to "pin" or "favorite" a specific note at the top of that day's listing of notes so as to get there in a single click, without having to scroll down to it (or to have to type in the beginning text for that needed note in the Recent Notes field, in order to auto-suggest).

Article Delivery notices: automated reminder notices
It would improve service to be able to send automated reminder notices to patrons a week or so before electronic articles reach the 30-day limit and will be purged from the server. We remind them to download articles, but a second notice would be helpful, either to all patrons or maybe to those whose request history does not show "PDF viewed."

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?

Expand the group maintenance functionality to include settings that persist for specific groups such as if renewals are permitted and the length of renewals for specific groups. One group we are a part of has expanded renewals to 17 weeks - we want this for that group but not for everyone so it would be nice to be able to customize more than just initial loan length based upon the borrowing library's group.

Make Billing Categories Default by SystemID
When new lender addresses are created it should be possible to set SystemID specific default billing categories. For example, all Rapid lender addresses should come in as Exempt by default. ISO is another example where a specific
