Make Illiad fields searchable regardless of including accent marks/special characters Allow the ability to do searches in ILLiad & pull up the correct results regardless of whether that field has a special characters or accent marks, etc. For instance, doing a patron last name search for Peña, should pull up with Pena or Peña (currently it has to be an exact match). Same thing with titles & authors, if the title has accent marks or special characters, we cannot pull up the request without also including the special characters/accent marks.

Update Docline scripts to include fill in to Docline's Place Request by Journal UI Not all requests placed in Docline have a PMID. We must use the Place Request by Journal UI (ISSN, NLM, OCLC). This is different than the Manual function in ILLiad. ILLiad does not have a script to fill the citation information in to this request form thus we must type the citation, requestor, and TN number in to the form manually. Because not everything ordered in Docline has a PMID, this is an essential function needed to improve our workflows. A script is needed to facilitate this function.

Update Lender Billing Fields and Description on Transaction Form Adjust the availability of lender address fields in the transaction form.
Remove Billing Notes from the Transaction view in the Client. Dev believes this is an artifact from before lending billing was split into 2 parts and we have been unable to populate it with data.
Add LibBillingMethod as an option for addition to the layout. It's available in the LenderAddress record view, but not the transaction form view.
Rename the "Billing Groups" label in the Transaction form's Library tab. These are just groups and should not be described as specifically related to billing.

Custom search to retrieve PDFs on the server that haven't been viewed A custom search will currently retrieve requests “Delivered to Web” that HAVE been viewed, but not those that have haven’t. Being able to quickly retrieve a list of those not viewed and highlighting those delivered more than 3 days earlier would facilitate sending a customized reminder notification while the PDFs would still be useful to patrons. The reminders could be sent once or twice per week.
Alternately, modifying the Electronic Delivery Reminder Server addon with an option to send the reminder x times per week (rather than each day after the first reminder is sent) could achieve the same results…

Button to route to Partial/Incorrect queue in Odyssey window It would be great to have a button to route requests to the Received Partial/Incorrect queue, in the Electronic Delivery window that appears as part of Awaiting Odyssey Processing. Currently, one must delete the Odyssey file then manually route the request to that queue when the situation applies

Support for WMS WorldShare Management Services Z39.50 OCLC's WMS system credentials can exceed ILLiad's current username/password field lengths. Field sizes need to be expanded to support OCLC authentication for WMS Z39.50.

Improve Z39.50 and FOLIO connection There's already a call out to FOLIO to improve how multi-volume holdings appear in XML to make them visible via Z39.50, but it would probably help matters if Atlas Systems and FOLIO worked together to make this improvement for all libraries migrating to FOLIO. https://issues.folio.org/browse/ZF-84
Basically, if there are multiple volumes of a title, only summary holdings and inaccurate availability status are visible through Z39.50. Some libraries have implemented custom addons to get around this, but this is really a workaround to what should be a standard function.

Improve Error handling in Electronic Delivery Utility (EDU) to keep cascading errors from occurring. When the EDU loses connection to a network location where files are stored due to a timeout or issue, the EDU continues to try and process causing a loop of error messages that cause the EDU to crash. See ticket# 38285 on 3/14 screenshots for error. Please enhance to report the loss of the connection and stop the EDU from continuing. Matt did not think we could re-establish the connection so I don't know if restarting the EDU is an option but Matt added
"we could maybe better handle the errors when it can't make open files and stop trying…

Clear OCLC search filters when a request is closed When searching for harder to find items in OCLC through ILLiad, we often use the custom search or set filters in the Limits box. The search terms and filters stick from request to request. The worst problem is that if I filter by year, this doesn't appear obviously in the limits, but when I search the next request by ISSN/ISBN nothing comes up. I have to remember to open Limits and clear the year from the filter.
It would be so helpful if these fields would just reset with every request. There isn't any case where I want the same…

Add User Expiration Date as an option for Customized Layout in 1-borrowing form, and 2-Check In From Lending Library batch screen. We'd like to be able to see the User Expiration Date in the client on the borrowing request form and the borrowing batch process "Check In From Lending Library." This would help us when assigning due dates and renewals (in case we need to truncate what the lending library offered), and may also determine where we send initial requests as well. At the moment, User Expiration Date is not in the list of fields to choose from when customizing layouts.

Integrate API keys for Docline NLM rate limits Docline searches to 3 per second without an API key. It is rare, but under the right circumstances, the client can exceed this, in which case using the API would be beneficial.

Ability to add tags to Default Notes field of Cancellation Reasons. Cancellation Reasons have associated Default Notes fields. It would be great if tags could be inserted into the Notes fields to auto-fill information.
Example:
Cancellation Reason: We could not fill your request by your deadline.
Default Note:
You indicated you did not need this item after <#Transaction.NotWantedAfter>. If you would still like to received this item, please ....8 votes -
Hide due dates on shipped Borrowing loans on Web 9.1 web pages, patrons can see due dates for requested/shipped items before they’ve arrived. This has confused patrons and does not always reflect the due date that will actually be assigned to the material.

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.

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
