AddESPUpdate - Returned for Borrowing requests If possible, it would be really nice to have the option to use AddESPUpdate - Returned for Borrowing requests. I currently have an addon that mass-adds tracking numbers that we also use for Borrowing returns, and it would be awesome to be able to automatically update those requests as Returned if they haven't been already.

Add a back button to DOCLINE ribbon Add a Back button on docline ribbon. It is unclear that users can hit the backspace button - especially since this kind of functionality lends itself more to "browsing" so people might want to go back to a previous screen.

Checked out items When you were in a patrons record you used to be able to check a box and see everything that was checked out to them and now it is no longer available it would be great if that feature came back.

Allow ILLiad to pull in Language code or other info from OCLC records If ILLiad could include the language code from a record (when available), it would help us know who to refer to when we needed assistance and to get better statistics on what languages we are supporting.
Similarly, pulling in subject headings would be really useful for referring to our liaison librarians and for consideration with acquisitions funds; right now we have to base these off of the department of the requester, but we're missing cross-departmental opportunities this way.

Allow FORMSTATE tag to persist through webpage workarounds. When a workaround is used on the webpages to display something outside of the usual ILLiad workflow, it breaks the tag and doesn't allow OpenURL to route the user back to their request. Ideally, the formstate would persist through the workaround, and the user would be routed back to their request instead of dropped onto the main menu.

Adjust note fields to fit content I always have to adjust the column width of the notes in ILLiad so that I can actually read the notes. ILLiad should adjust the width automatically to fit the content so that the Note Date and Added By fields are only wide enough for that data and the actual Note field is wide enough to allow staff to read the notes. Specifically I need to look at the notes when returning borrowed items, but this feature would be helpful on every screen.

Find a way to remove duplicate odyssey articles Sometimes folks have lots of extra articles cluttering up the Odyssey Received folder. Would be nice to have some way of identifying duplicates and removing after a user specified time.

ILLiad / Aeon integration - ability to send a note with the request When sending a request from ILLiad to Aeon, we can only send the request and information in the fields. It would greatly improve communication if we could add a Note to the request when sending it (similar to a Conditional or Cancellation message).

Remove editing options for admin Lending and Unmatched user accounts. Johns Hopkins had a mishap where the Lending user for one of the shared server sites had its NVTGC changed in the Location dropdown in the Staff Client. This moved all of the site's Lending requests into the other site's view. Perhaps we could consider removing the ability to edit the "Lending User" accounts and the Unmatched accounts.

Bring back the autofill when typing in notes ILLiad used to autofill notes that had already been used in the current session. You could just type the first few letters and the note would come up.

Allow the document type to be set on default ILLiad web forms Use case: A library would like to offer the option for patrons to request a loan in ebook format and process through the Occam's Reader addon. We have set this up as an option with an Item Info field currently, but it would be helpful to be able to use Document Type where this info seems to live more naturally. The other workaround considered was changing the default loan form for GenericRequestLoan but this seemed like a lot of extra work (include_menus, OpenURL Mapping, Validation, etc.) just to add a new value. So if we ever get to make changes…

Alert statistics Could ILLiad keep statistics on what Alerts on the patron web interface are clicked on to view? The various website analytics software my library has used over the years has not always tracked ILLiad webpages. Having consistent stats, easily accessible from within some part of ILLiad, would be helpful.

Add User Note to the Email Template tag list I would like to be able to include the "user note" from a borrowing request in the email template, "Question about your Request."
Often a patron will include a note or ask a question in their request. I will use the "Question about your Request" email template when I follow up with them. It would be helpful to have their original note in the email with the request information (title, author, etc.) so that my email to them makes sense.
Currently we can either pull over the "last note" or ALL of the notes in a request. Since we are…

Add NVTGC value to the Main Form of the Electronic Delivery Utility If multiple EDUs are open on a PC and each is logged into a different NVTGC it becomes confusing later to remember which is which because nothing on the Form shows a NVTGC/Site value. Emory uses up to 4 on one PC so it is hard to know which nvtgc to use on the client logon if you have to investigate why a request/file fails to send

Electronic Delivery Utility change to get requests to Process from DB rather than Folder The EDU currently populates the list of request to process from the folder specified in ElectronicDeliveryUtilityImagesPath which for customers sharing a scanned files folder across NVTGCs can lead to files pulled in to the wrong EDU and the process fails because that NVTGC might not have access to the address or transaction record. Querying the In Stacks Searching or In DD Stacks Searching status and using that list to determine which files to pull from the folder will allow one ElectronicDeliveryUtilityImagesPath folder to be used across multiple EDUs running for one Shared Server group.

Borrowing Received screen -- either make edits save or make clear fields that can't be edited When receiving incoming Borrowing items through the Borrowing Received screen, it looks as though the user can edit fields such as the title, but this will not save on check in —only by opening the transaction can a title be edited. We usually note when something is a microform in the title so it's very clear to the patron. When on the Borrowing Receives page, it DOES save edits to Special Instructions, number of pieces, and checkboxes like we use for library use only.
Additionally, it will not save if the user clears info that was previously in the Special…
