Replace Lending Web Shipped Items Due Date field in new pages
The Lending Web pages don't contain due date information in the tables, despite the documentation saying it should be a default table field and it historically being displayed in the pages.

Make label position selectable for print processes
We would like label templates to not generate placeholder text when there is no data and we would like to indicate on which label printing should begin.

Have Lender Select box consider Odyssey and email addresses too
Atlas support said recently that only the shipping and billing address fields are checked for incoming ILL requests. Libraries often change their contact info. and it would be best if the system is checking for that too in order to avoid outdated Lender records in the Client and misdeliveries

SAML multiple attributes (allow for multiple and to list those which are allowed)
We have come to understand that ILLiad's SAML module does not support SAML2 attributes sent by the Identity Provider with multiple values. These would take the basic form in the SAML assertion XML like:
<saml:Attribute Name="multiAttributeName">
<saml:AttributeValue>Value 1/saml:AttributeValue
<saml:AttributeValue>Value 2/saml:AttributeValue
<saml:AttributeValue>Value 3/saml:AttributeValue
/saml:AttributeIt is described on pg 31 of the spec https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/56776/sstc-saml-core-errata-2.0-wd-07.pdf#page=31
As this is a common method of delivering data structures inside of SAML attributes especially when specifying items like user affiliations or group memberships, we request that support be added in the future to read and operate on multi-value/list attributes within the RemoteAuthValidation table.

ReShare Addon create a more robust breadcrumb trail
When the ILLiad ReShare addon creates a request in ReShare, there isn't much in the way of tracking after the request is submitted. We suggest adding notes to the ILLiad TN anytime the addon takes action on the request so there is a static history of what actions the addon has taken. That way if the request enters a different fulfillment method, such as OCLC, then there is preservation of the past ReShare request number and any other actions that the addon has taken. Otherwise, this information is lost (the ReShare Request ID is overwritten in the ILL number field).

Fulfillment Data should be included in Custom Search results
Custom searching for transactions doesn't return information from the FulfillmentData table. We need to be able to calculate money spent through DSP addons like Reprints and Get It Now and there isn't any other way to gather that information out of ILLiad, other than using an ODBC link and an external program.

Only display "Reason for Cancellation" in Request Details on the web if the item is currently in a cancelled status.
We regularly cancel items that get revived later once the patron has made a decision or change of some sort. When those items are revived, "Reason for Cancellation" continues to show in the Request Details on the web. It would be helpful if this field only displayed if the item was in the status of "Cancelled by ILL Staff" or "Cancelled by Customer", and otherwise was hidden.

Prevent borrowing renewal requests when the lending library will not accept them
As a lender, FSU does not accept renewals and this is indicated in our notes, in the Client when we mark a request as Shipped and in the Policies Directory. In WSILL, the Renew option disappears when a borrower has exhausted renewal requests. There is no equivalent in ILLiad and borrowers can continue to send renewal requests regardless of settings and indicated preferences. Borrowers should not be able to request renewals when lenders have indicated they will not be accepted. (via KAK)

Additional section of the homepage for storing filled article requests
We have received a request from one of our most active researchers to add an additional section to the ILLiad homepage that users could route article requests to, rather than all filled requests being under Electronic Documents. This would help our users manage higher volumes of requests.

Google Scholar chromium version no longer authenticates using EZ Proxy URL
Former Scholar addon had a field where I put our custom Google Scholar URL that authenticates with EZ Proxy and shows which articles we have licensed access to. New version only searches "generic" Scholar which does not link to what we have access to (just paywalled stuff). When can you bring back this functionality? It's the only reason I used the addon.

Add semicolon as option for separating multiple email addresses
When sending emails to multiple recipients, ILLiad functionality should be expanded to allow both commas and semicolons, as semicolons are the known character for the function with other email programs/ API.

Set maximum date range for Resumbit Request link in ILLiad web
To allow proper tracking of current requests, this option should have some sort of maximum time restriction, where it couldn't be used after a specific amount of days.

Increased Granularity in Web Circ Permissions by User
I would like to be able to restrict available actions in Web Circ by user. I would like to restrict our circ desk account from being able to do anything other than check out items. I think essentially I'd like the customization keys to be available on a by-user basis.

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.

Disable "end request routing"
I was wondering about the DOCLINE caveat that states a request canceled due to "Cost Exceeds Limit" would "end request routing.”
Is there some way to disable this? I have had to cancel requests that would've cost more than the patron was willing/able to pay, but I hate to think their search would end with us because of that.2 votes -
Ability to utilize IFM via Billing Manager for Lost Book/other charges
Paying/Billing for lost or damaged items is complicated! It would be great if we could utilize the power of IFM to bill one another instead. Also, we would know that the money is going right back into ILL services!

Eliminate the requirement for Microsoft Word.
Requiring Microsoft Word to print is problematic with Microsoft 365 because it requires users to authenticate and retains the connection to the user's account. Machines used with a generic account cannot have Microsoft 365 applications installed to protect users from each other. Thus these machines can't be used to print from ILLiad.
There is another proposal to add integration with Google, but that is also limiting. What happens when the next suite comes along?
Better, would be if ILLiad integrated the necessary components of LibreOffice (an open source alternative). Then ILLiad could print without any dependencies on third-party software. It…
