  1. Allow WebCirc customization in Customization Manager

    Since WebCirc changes are not supported on Atlas hosted servers, it would be nice to add some customization options for WebCirc and WebReports into the Customization Manager.

    As an example, changing the status message that pops up when checking out a transaction for a blocked user.

  2. SymCirAddon - final step should be removal of bib record created

    The final step in this Addon should be the removal of the bib record when held item is returned (Checked-in) or when due date is reached (if the item on Hold is not picked up by the patron).

  3. Allow the use of an FQDN instead of IP Address in Customization Manager for Odyssey and ISO

    We have a custom CNAME that we redirect when we replace a server so that we don't have to update links. It would be so much easier if we could use that instead of the IP Address in Customization Manager when configuring Odyssey and ISO so that we don't have to go in and update it when doing a server replacement.

  4. Settings to disable patron info sent via ISO ILL messages

    Some libraries have been migrating away from Worldshare and Illiad, but would like to remain connected to their ILLiad partners using ISO ILL via Illiad.

    It would be helpful for ILLiad libraries to have settings within the customization manager that help manage borrowing request information sent to these partners--particularly in relation to patron information.

  5. Increase the DOI field character limit to 100 characters

    The current 50 character limit for DOIs is not long enough and many get cut off. Please double the character limit to 100. Example: https://doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190236557.013.20

  6. 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?

  7. CrossRef

    Develop CrossRef as an addon, for when a partial citation is provided without a DOI. An article title search can be conducted in CrossRef; being able to then copy and paste the DOI into the DOI field would helpful. If the article title could somehow be automatically exported to the addon and then the selected CrossRef DOI be imported into the request DOI field, that would be even better!

  9. Allow Layout Modification for Queues/Flags that are Currently Empty

    It would be great to have some view in the client of all existing queues and flags, regardless of whether they currently have any requests in them, so that layout and customization of categories can be more thorough.

  10. Support for Controlled Digital Lending Software and Workflows

    Ability to identify requests that will use the lend-like print method using an owned-to-loan ratio, manage due dates, etc. Details on CDL can be found here: https://controlleddigitallending.org/.

  11. Change the default "Save as type" for Electronic Delivery from TIFF to PDF

    Good to have a copy of files which wasn't sent via Odyssey and are sitting in ED. It will save processing time to save files form Electronic delivery.

  12. Prevent the submission of auto-truncated data in request forms

    Summary by KAK: There isn't anything to indicate to users that their submissions will be truncated when they enter too many characters in request form fields. We've created a workaround by using the WebValidation table for PhotoJournalInclusivePages with a validation of ^$|^.{0,30}$ to represent the field is not required and may only be submitted when its character count is less than 30.

  13. Fix the "Illiad Authentication" Checkbox so it Does not Automatically Enable itself when Saving a New User Record

    Leaving the ILLiad Authentication checkbox unchecked/unchanged when creating a new user will default the user to ILLiad Authentication type.
    Leaving the "ILLiad Authentication" checkbox unchecked/unchanged while creating a user in the Client still defaults to ILLiad Authentication when the user is created, even though the option is not checked when saving. This bug has been around for awhile with no fix in sight. Can this please be addressed in a future Illiad release? No one can remember to go back and uncheck that box constantly.

    This is currently logged as Bug# 12841

  14. Allow RapidR borrowing renewals to be sent in batch by the Send OCLC Renewal Requests button

    Currently, the Send OCLC Renewal Requests button will send out renewals for all requests in the status of "Renewed by Customer to MM/DD/YYYY", but it only works on requests with a SystemID of OCLC. Now that RapidR allows renewals within ILLiad, it would be helpful to be able to batch send requests to Rapid using the same button, so that renewals can be sent out regardless of the System ID.

    The query that populates the ESPUpdate table is currently:
    "SELECT t.TransactionNumber, t.ILLNumber, t.SystemID FROM Transactions t JOIN Users u ON (t.Username = u.Username) " +
    "WHERE ((t.TransactionStatus LIKE N'Renewed by…

  15. Make ILLiad Web Circulation's Checked out/in message more prominent

    The current message saying a book was checked in or out is too similar to the text already on the page, and our students never notice it and get confused as to whether a book has actually been checked out. If it was even just bold, in red, or a little bit larger font, it would stand out a lot more.

  16. 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.

  17. Connect to local catalogs in WorldShare

    We were formerly with an ILS that could be connected to within ILLiad using the Z39.50 option, but since switching to OCLC WorldShare's Discovery catalog there is no option to be able to search our local catalog within ILLiad. Atlas should consider adding an option for the Discovery tool to be added and work the same way the Z39.50 worked.

  18. Allow borrowing items to be checked in by Web Circ if they are awaiting Renewal or Recalled Processing

    If items are in the "Awaiting Renewal Request Processing" (including "Awaiting Renewal OK Processing") or "Awaiting Recalled Processing" queues, they should be eligible for checkin via the Web Circ. As it stands, when patrons try to return books that are in one of those queues, they cannot be checked in and require intervention by ILL staff before they can be sent back.

  20. Transfer User Notes when merging users

    When an existing user account is merged with an new one, in addition to moving the open requests, we would like any User Notes to be moved as well. We use these notes to track various issues with patron accounts and right now staff are manually copying each note.
