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.

PMID Addon
It would be great to have an Addon similar to the existing DOI Addon. If a user on the webform enters a PMID, ILLiad searches and fills in/adjust the rest of the request data.

Improve design of Customization Manager for Shared Server Sites
Because a user selects a site in the Home ribbon, it is not clear that tabs and configurations made for Z39.50, Notification Templates Server Addons and DSP apply to all sites.
This used to be more clear when these options were available at the Ribbon level.
It would also be helpful to remove the ILL selection option from the Home ribbon for Shared Server installations to avoid confusion when editing key and table entries.

Add Preferred Name Fields in the ILLiad Patron Record
Currently ILLiad has Last Name and First Name fields in the patron record, but other databases on our campus, including our ILS, have the additional fields of Preferred First Name, Preferred Middle Name, and Preferred Last Name. It would be great if ILLiad would add these fields.

Printdocumentspath etc - Allow for the use of cloud based drives like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive
When ILLiad needs to access shared documents like those often in the PrintDocumentsPath, allow for the use of cloud drives like Box, DropBox, and OneDrive.

Want to print Borrowing Notes specifically on a lending request
Site would like a way to print the Note or a way to select what notes to print. The problem is that the Borrowing Notes show up first, but other notes show up after that. They want the Borrowing notes to show up on the Print template, but because the Borrowing Notes are not the last note, it does not show up on the Pint template. It would also nice to just have a field called Borrowing Notes and print that.

Add better logout handling for PortalGuard (and possibly Azure AD) for the SAML module
Add better logout handling for PortalGuard (and possibly Azure AD) for the SAML module. Some IdPs require a SAML Logout message to be encoded as a query parameter in order for a request to their logout URL to actually be processed.

Add Graphic Elements to Email Templates
Add Graphic Elements to Email Templates
It would be nice to be able to add graphic components to email templates (e.g. logos, progress trackers, link buttons)9 votes -
Only display "Reason for Cancellation" in Request Details on the web if the item is currently in a cancelled status.
We regularly cancel items that get revived later once the patron has made a decision or change of some sort. When those items are revived, "Reason for Cancellation" continues to show in the Request Details on the web. It would be helpful if this field only displayed if the item was in the status of "Cancelled by ILL Staff" or "Cancelled by Customer", and otherwise was hidden.

Eliminate the requirement for Microsoft Word.
Requiring Microsoft Word to print is problematic with Microsoft 365 because it requires users to authenticate and retains the connection to the user's account. Machines used with a generic account cannot have Microsoft 365 applications installed to protect users from each other. Thus these machines can't be used to print from ILLiad.
There is another proposal to add integration with Google, but that is also limiting. What happens when the next suite comes along?
Better, would be if ILLiad integrated the necessary components of LibreOffice (an open source alternative). Then ILLiad could print without any dependencies on third-party software. It…

Exporting Customization Manager Tables
Would like the ability to export tables from the customization manager into an excel xls, xlsx, or csv file so that changes can be made.
And then ideally allow the changed file to be uploaded into the customization manager to change the table too.
Tables like the Routing table would really be easier to manage and edit like this.

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.

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.

Separate email notification template for Library Use Only loans
Loans marked Library Use Only should have a separate notification template.
Being able to explain the process for a Library Use Only item without merging it with other notifications would reduce patron confusion. Further, we are now allowing patrons to set their own preferences for Loan Delivery Method, and are mailing some materials. If a patron is set to Mail To Address, ILLiad skips the In Transit queue and immediately sends out notifications! We've had to put in place a special custom queue, and a special custom email, and rely on staff to catch that a request is marked Library…

Ability to print selected pull slips
Would love to print from different physical locations but need to be able to select which pull slips (or receives, or whatever!) should be pulled for printing, so that you do not disrupt work at another location.

Add optional Reply-To header in email templates
In cases where SMTP authentication requires a single sending "From" address, it would be nice to allow a variable Reply-To address in email notification templates so that replies to particular notifications could arrive in distinct mailboxes.

In-library use option for checking-out and checking-in items in Web Circ
Could you provide a Web Circ option for checking-out and checking-in in-library use items multiple times for a patron? Currently, we don't have an electronic means of tracking when an in-library use item has been removed from our ILL pick up shelf or is being consulted by our patrons.
