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.

Allow lending staff to set a document type which would modify the due date
For videos etc. the due date is different than standard loans. When the request comes in from OCLC or any other system, we don't yet know what format it is necessarily. But when staff choose that format in the document type field, ILLiad could change the due date to a new value based on a customization key.

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.

Celebration Addon or Feature
Allow ILLiad staff users to set celebration triggers prompting ILLiad to display animated fireworks or other celebratory image. Set a default trigger of 1,000,000 transactions. Other ideas might be for when queues are cleared or other numbers of transaction totals in each module have been reached. This feature request is in celebration of Auburn University Libraries (AAA) reaching 1 MILLION transactions in ILLiad on 8/17/23.

Add semicolon as option for separating multiple email addresses
When sending emails to multiple recipients, ILLiad functionality should be expanded to allow both commas and semicolons, as semicolons are the known character for the function with other email programs/ API.

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…

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.

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.

Remove trim function from ILLiad web password login
When users log into ILLiad web form to make requests or manage their Illiad account, the ILLiad.dll is trimming spaces from the beginning and end of the password entered. Through LDAP we use our campus Active Directory credentials to let users log into ILLiad. Our campus now has active directory password requirements of including a space (to create a pass phrase). Some users are choosing to put the space at the beginning or end of their password, and because ILLiad is trimming spaces, they cannot log into ILLiad. I don't think ILLiad should be altering passwords entered by the patrons…

Enable credit card payments in ILLiad
I noticed that Aeon can accommodate credit card payments. For our purposes it would be great if ILLiad do the same. We have a home grown tool that allows individuals and companies not affiliated with our institution or another academic institution to place requests for copies of articles or to borrow books. We facilitate these transactions via web forms and credit card payment through cybersource (a 3rd party secure payment system). Essentially, we would like to be able to manage these types of requests in ILLiad.

ISSN/ISBN automatically added on "request sent" page
When sending a borrowing request in ILLiad, have ILLiad bring the ISBN/ISSN from the record selected over from the work form to the main request page, as it does with OCLC numbers/titles. This would help ensure accuracy with the standard number and assist with collecting stats.

See last opened request
Could there be a way to see a list of the last 5 or so requests that a staff person opened? We sometimes forget to place notes or verify a piece of information before it gets routed to the next step. Titles or usernames are not always remembered correctly to find the request again. Even just the last request opened would be helpful.

Create an alert to catch Connection Manager hangups.
From ticket 887: It would be nice if you could develop some sort of alert to let you know that the server needs to be restarted. By the time I realize anything might be wrong things are already pretty bogged up.
Maybe something that allows an alert to check Connection Manager with no downloads in 2 or 4 hours or similar. Configurable per site due to volume variation. This would be for when Connection Manager is running but gets hung up for whatever reason and requests do not download from OCLC as they should.

Simplify renewals processing in both borrowing and lending
Can the due date in the "Renewed by Customer to MM/DD/YYYY" queue be copied automatically into the Due Date Field in the Transactions table so staff don't have to do this manually (and and NCIP message be sent too if needed). If we do automatic renewal processing in Lending, when a request comes in can it have it's due date automatically updated rather than staff having to push a button?

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.

Re-design how RUSH requests are auto-routed and assign service level
Lending to Rush University (Docline symbol ILURUS/OCLC symbol IDL) and every request comes into the Awaiting RUSH Request Processing queue inaccurately assigning a service level to Docline tickets that don't have that service level. Ticket 5397

Ability to add tags to Default Notes field of Cancellation Reasons.
Cancellation Reasons have associated Default Notes fields. It would be great if tags could be inserted into the Notes fields to auto-fill information.
Example:
Cancellation Reason: We could not fill your request by your deadline.
Default Note:
You indicated you did not need this item after <#Transaction.NotWantedAfter>. If you would still like to received this item, please ....8 votes -
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.
