  1. Check OCLC Status before sending Overdues-do not send for "Returned" OCLC status items

    Remove step of manually checking for OCLC "Returned" status before generating overdues. it would be helpful if the automatic process included checking the OCLC status before sending it off and not sending for items in Returned status.

  2. Add an export option to the Submit Copyright Orders Screen

    Most other ILLiad screens allow exporting data to Excel. Adding the option to the Submit Copyright Orders screen so we could more easily investigate titles we're borrowing high amounts of, along with the actual current publisher fees in CCC prior to submitting the order would be very helpful

  3. strip extra characters out of PMID field when receiving from Pubmed via OpenURL

    The OpenURL generated by Pubmed has the PMID field sent as:
    &rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F26824237
    which puts extra info in front of the PMID value. This means staff have to touch each request and clean it up before searching it. It would be great if the OpenURLMapping table could have an option to strip characters from a value or some other means to clean up that field when it carries over.

  4. ILLiad Lending scanning display email of borrower

    In the lending scanning window, display the email address of the borrower. When sending via Article Exchange it isn't always known if the email address is filled out in the address book. If the email address is not in the address book, the article does not get delivered.

  5. Add additional Result Mapping options for Z39.50

    It would be nice if there were one or two more fields where data grabbed via Z39.50 could be imported into ILLiad. In particular, "Item Num" would be an ideal place to hold a barcode, rather than having to concatenate it to a different value (as described here: https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360006750353-Finding-Importing-the-Barcode-Field).

  6. One result per TN in custom search

    There should be an easy way to make it so that when you perform a custom search you only see one search result per TN. We often use the custom search to find all of the requests that match a certain criteria and having multiple results for the same transaction is not helpful.

  7. Consistency with overdue notice schedule settings & disabling notices

    Currently LendingReminderDaysBeforeOverdue and BorrowingingReminderDaysBeforeOverdue adding value of 0 will disable lending reminders. However, in the other keys for scheduling the overdue notices, a 0 value will send the notice on the day the item is overdue.

    It would be helpful if these keys worked the same way and all allowed the ability to disable the notice if you want to send less than three notices with the automated service.

  8. Allow staff to customize how ILLiad assigns copyright compliance (CCL/CCG)

    We would like all of our borrowing requests to indicate CCL.

    ILLiad automatically assigns CCG/CCL based on publication date, creating an error when a library also has a copyright entry in their OCLC Constant Data. This error has been discussed here: https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360012493354-Easy-Fix-Copyright-fields-are-duplicated-in-ILLiad-when-using-a-constant-data-record-containing-copyright-data-resulting-in-an-error-message-

    Libraries should be able to customize how CCL/CCG is applied to their requests, regardless of whether the request is filled through RapidILL, OCLC, or other means.

  9. Ability to have separate Lending constant data for different formats

    Ability to create separate Lending constant data for different formats. Life for example, only lend a/v for less time than a regular book and renewal versus non renewal. Then when update, click on a drop down menu for the constant data and scan in all items that apply, then process that queue. Then can do other formats the same way.

  10. Set the addon interval per server addon

    It would be nice to be able to set the interval or specific time(s) that each server addon runs, rather than have them all run at the same interval. Some that I have only need to run once a day, while others need to run constantly.

  11. API functionality include renewal requests from patrons

    The ILLiad API is great because patrons can view all their requests local and ILL in one place but this is really read only. It would be very helpful for the API to also allow for renewal requests or to support a renewal request via NCIP.

  12. Ability to delete and correct pdf - same as tif images

    Ex. Borrower received article on 7/13 and that one was delivered to web, but then they received it again on 7/16 from the same lender. That time it was a duplicate, and it was stuck at 'unmatched' in the OdysseyReceived table in the database, so every time they hit Electronic Delivery it would come in for them to match it and deliver it.

    Usually if a site receives a wrong TIF file that is unmatched, they should use the "delete all" button in the electronic delivery screen in the client. That will change the OdysseyReceived table entry to "Deleted" and…

  15. Allow ILLiad to receive a renewal request once it has been requested in ILS, so that ILLiad can request the renewal from the lending library

    If items from other libraries are checked out to users in the ILS, when that user places a renewal request, ILLiad needs to know about it so it can ask the lending library for a renewal.

  16. Allow borrowing articles to deliver immediately via trusted sender and auto bill the default amount to the user

    If every user is always charged $x for an article, there is no reason for staff to mediate those. The billing could be added and the article delivered to the user.

  17. When creating new users in the staff client, default to electronic notification options

    Currently, none of the notification check boxes are checked by default on the new user form. Staff have to remember which of the check boxes to check to set a new user to receive all electronic notifications. It would be good to have a setting that made those check boxes checked by default.

  18. Allow Z39.50 searches to work with servers that don't support unicode

    Several Z39.50 servers don't support Unicode or non-ASCII characters. If the ILLiad title has those characters in it, the search returns no results. It may be necessary to replace characters with their Latin equivalent before searching.

  19. Allow cloned requests to be routed

    Option 1: Add a tracking entry that is created before the routing rule is triggered so that the routing rule can reference the tracking table.

    Option 2: Create a new menu option of Clone and Route that prompts the staff user to pick the new queue.
