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."

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

Create a new status for 'PDF Viewed' to work in conjunction with the current TransactionStatus 'Delivered to Web'
We are trying to improve communication with patrons regarding electronic delivery of articles, especially when they have many items displayed in the Electronically Received Articles section of the web interface. We want users to know at a glance - which articles are available AND whether they have already been viewed. Including the date to be deleted (e.g. via the 'Expires' tag) would also be helpful, but my immediate request is to make information from the History table ('PDF Viewed') available for display. An example of what I am requesting can be seen in the Checked Out Items section. The display…

Make OCLC Local Holdings visible from ILLiad
When ordering items via OCLC from the Awaiting Request Processing queue, there are many times (especially with Internet Resource format type) where a list of symbols is showing, but no coverage information at all. It appears you can log into WorldShare's online interface directly and expose the holdings information there. Please make this info. visible in ILLiad so we don't have to leave the program or make faulty lender symbol strings. This is really not efficient and leads to wasted time.

ReShare Addon notify user when request is unfilled in ReShare
Enhance the ReShare server addon to send a notification to the requesting user when a request is polled from ReShare (i.e. unfilled/end of rota). Notification should be customizable.

Additional request field auto-copying functionality (user-by-user basis)
Currently, the CopyTitleToClipboard key in ILLiad Customization Manager allows for the auto-copying of the request title. However this setting is global for all users, and can only turned off or on by Process Type (Borrowing, Doc Del, Lending). It would be helpful to provide individual staff with the ability to override the auto-copy functionality, solely on their client, in order to either choose another field to auto-copy (e.g., Transaction Number), or alternately not to auto-copy any field when opening a request. The general setting (via the CopyTitleToClipboard key) would remain active for any staff members who did not "opt out"…

Lengthen conditional message
The Lending Notes field in OCLC has a character limit of 500 characters, but ILLiad will only put through 255 characters. Would it be possible to increase this?

Automatic pickup reminders
The current addon for this is too specific for one institution's processes. I'd like a simple pickup reminder to be able to be sent from ILLiad without an addon that sends the reminder at a specific number of days after the original notification (regardless of day of week, etc.) and only sends it once and/or on multiples like (value = 3, 3 days after original notification) or (value - 3,10, 3 and 10 days after original notification)

Allow applying field/layout/grid customizations to all users in Staff Manager
Please make it simpler to set customizations for all staff, including future ones. Currently, field customizations that are applicable to all users must be applied to new users one-by-one.

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.

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…

ILLiad should support the selection of a pickup location on a per-request basis.

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.

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.

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.

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 -

Allow editing in the Electronic Delivery window regardless of file type
For years I wondered why we could edit/crop some documents from the elec del window before delivering it to our patrons, and other documents we could not. An Atlas article explains that if the file is sent in PDF format, one cannot edit it in the viewer. Please enable the editing function regardless of file type as this is desired often - repeatedly on a daily basis.
