Update AltasPDF.exe be able to handle Tiff file conversions that use older compression format Some Tiff files processed by Odyssey (AtlasPDF.exe) fail due to the following reasons:
PackBits compression is an older Macintosh compression scheme that many modern Windows-based TIFF libraries handle poorly or inconsistently. AtlasPDF appears to lack robust PackBits decoding support.
4 samples per pixel with RGB suggests the TIFF has an alpha channel or extra component, which is unusual and can confuse converters expecting standard 3-channel RGB.
The large file size (23MB) for a relatively small image indicates the compression isn't very efficient or the file has additional data that's bloating it.
Compression: PackBits (Macintosh RLE) - This is an older,…1 vote -
Pass data to <#INCLUDE> tags Templating engines typically allow a means for passing data between templates. This makes it possible to abstract repeated content that differs slightly based on its specific context. For example, breadcrumb navigation might include HTML list markup that only differs on each page by the page title and link of the last list item.
It would be helpful if data could be passed to templates in ILLiad using <#INCLUDE> tags. A simple solution for just string data might look like <#INCLUDE filename="[the filename]" data="{foo: 'bar', foo2: 'bar2'}">, and then the variables foo and foo2 would be available somehow in the included…

Create Custom General Pages Page templates like FAQ.html and FirstTime.html are helpful, but it would be nice to be able to create additional custom templates (e.g. Contact.html) that are served via the DLL and can make use of <#INCLUDE> tags. This would be similar to GenericRequest forms, but wouldn't require a valid session.

Allow a setting on the google search addon to remove the AI summary results The AI summary on the google search in the ILLiad tab creates useless clutter. Can a setting be added to turn off the AI summary, or include "-AI" at the end of the auto-search?

The description for DocumentTypeOptions in Customization Manager is actually for the AddRequestReceivedViaOptions key I went looking for where to update the options in the DocType dropdown, and found that the description for DocumentTypeOptions in Customization Manager is actually for the AddRequestReceivedViaOptions key! This is a very tiny thing that probably isn't causing any issues, but did really confuse me just now.

Why You Might Need a USA VPN for GDPR-Compliant Database Access Hey everyone,
I’ve been diving into some compliance requirements recently—specifically around GDPR and how it affects cross-border data access. Something that came up, and I’d love your thoughts on, is the role of VPNs—particularly USA VPNs (https://fastestvpn.com/server-locations/usa-vpn) in maintaining secure, compliant access to databases hosted in the US.
If you’re managing or accessing data stored in US-based servers from the EU (or anywhere else, really), you know how sensitive things can get. Even if the database itself is GDPR-compliant, the way you access it matters too.
That’s where a USA VPN can come in handy. It helps establish…

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

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…

Ability to remove print templates that are no longer used from user print configurations window (without editing the user.config file) Right now, every print template a user has ever used will show in the user PrintConfigurations window. When templates are updated (especially just the same file from .doc to .docx) this can get lengthy and confusing. Right now, the only way to get these removed is to edit the user.config file -- but this isn't recommended, since it's easy to corrupt that file and cause major issues.
It would be extremely helpful if users could remove no longer used files from print configuration in an easier way.

Allow for wildcard IP address entries in the OdysseyAccess table in Customization Manager We have client workstations that are trusted but may change IP address within the organization's assignment pool. While implementing the manual "Allowed" list in the Odyssey Access Control process ( https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011908313-Odyssey-Access-Control ) it would be helpful for us to allow an entire subnet instead of allowing specific IP addresses. For example, if our known workstations receive a hypothetical address of 10.20.30.x, we would like to be able to enter a single entry that allows all of 10.20.30.*

IPv6 Support As the EPA eyes moving to IPv6, we have concerns about our ability to connect to the OCLC-hosted server, as well as concerns about compatibility with Odyssey, Rapid, etc.

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.

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.
