Database Manager - Extend the transaction purge options
The transaction purge tab in Database Manager only has transaction date as a criteria. The Patrons tab allows for a very fine grain approach for deciding which users to purge. It would be nice to have a similar or expanded group of options for transaction purging.
For example, it would be nice to be able to delete test users that have test transactions, which we cannot currently do effectively now.

Import complete information (esp. Publisher) from OCLC into ILLiad when sending request
Currently ILLiad imports the title field from sent OCLC requests. It would be great if it imported more info such as the journal publisher. We are constantly asked for details of how many Publisher X or Publisher Y journal articles were requested through borrowing. We can't provide the info because the patron doesn't supply it and ILLiad doesn't import it (and manually doing it for our volume of requests is too time consuming).

User expiration by status
Ability to control user expiration based on User status i.e. I don't want Faculty accounts to expire. Or only expire undergraduate accounts.

Save some user demographic info with the request for reporting/statistics.
Store demographics (ie, non personally identifying information, such as major or department) associated with a user request, to the request, not just the user.
This would allow us to know better understand ‘how many requests were submitted by BIOLOGY majors’ in a given period of time vs. having those BIOLOGY requests migrate to a new major when USERS change major or vice versa.

Change or remove Awaiting Secondary Label Printing process
Awaiting Secondary Label Printing is confusing and sometimes student workers process things in the wrong way and items end up in this queue. Note that OCLC doesn't get updated properly when items are marked found in this queue.

Option to print articles and loans separately in Doc Del
In Doc Del, have a dropdown choice of printing either articles or loans instead of all. We process these on different floors and it's really handy in Lending.

Printing Multiple Requests from a Queue--Simplify Process
Ability to select and print multiple requests from a queue without having to navigate through the merge template process. While it is possible to use the Print Selected Requests option from the Process ribbon, the process requires manually opening a template and completing a merge process.
Ideally, the process would work like other batch printing processes where users are prompted to view/edit a word merge template.

Ability to display borrower group on Lending requests
The borrowing library's shipping options and address # are displayed; given this, it seems like we should be able to display their Groups as well.
This would make it easier to check for consortial memberships when verifying max cost or shipping methods.

expanded off-times (lower case) flexibility.
Copy RAPID's off-times where we can set off times by time as well as by date. We also had a need for a more immediate closure before the 24 hour limit where we had to close for a hurricane. It would have been nice to set the non-lender status closer to the event instead of putting it a day later.

Allow ILLIAD staff to customize name of column labels.
Hi,
I'm having to do a lot of re-organization of my data after I've created a custom report from ILLIAD. I find myself renaming columns so I know what data I'm looking at. If there was a feature that allowed us to rename the columns in the backend, this would be great for resource sharing managers who have to report on this dataset!

Addon update notification
Surface an alert in the ILLiad System Dashboard notifying users that an ILLiad addon in use on the local ILLiad system has been updated in the directory. It can be hard to find out if addon updates are available and it can be tricky to troubleshoot or support if different versions of the addon are installed. Having a notification of an available addon update - that an ILLiad system is using an outdated version of an addon - would save time and troubleshooting as well as help users to benefit sooner from bug/security fixes.

Viewing "Return To" Address in "Check in from Lending Library" when Receiving
When Receiving borrowed items in the "Check in from Lending Library" tab, we should be able to view the constant data "Return To" address so we know which address to select when receiving. We have to click on an address in the list, and then view the constant data in the request in a box on the right hand side. I wish we could have that constant data box to view right on that first Check In page so it is easier to select the correct address to return the item to.

Hide due dates on shipped Borrowing loans on Web
9.1 web pages, patrons can see due dates for requested/shipped items before they’ve arrived. This has confused patrons and does not always reflect the due date that will actually be assigned to the material.

In the ILLiad scanning interface, allow function keys for B&W, grayscale, and RGB settings.
The ILLiad scanning interface already allows use of a Quick Scan Key to initiate a scan, but it's highly cumbersome to still mouse into Settings and switch the dropdown back and forth between B&W, grayscale, and RGB within a request. Could you create a functionality so that staff can program keyboard function keys for each of those color settings and easily switch between them when scanning?

Restrict access to Policies Directory in Staff Manager
We would like to restrict access to the Policies Directory in the ILLIad client by adding permission levels to staff users. Currently this link is available to any staff including student workers who are using the ILLiad client to process requests. We have recently had an issue with a student worker changing our Policies Directory without our knowledge.
The change would inactivate or hide the link to the Policies Directory if the user's permissions did allow for that access.

Show WorldShare's "Lost" button in received borrowing loan requests
WorldShare has a "Lost" button that appears on all all Received loans (including overdue items and those in any renewal status, even renewal denied). When you click the "Lost" button, the item moves to "RECEIVED_MISSING" in OCLC, which makes it much easier for the lending library to close the transaction once they receive the replacement payment for a lost item.
It would be helpful to have the ability to choose "Lost" on the OCLC record directly within ILLiad, in the OCLC ribbon alongside Complete/Receive/Not Received/Return/etc.

Support multiple files for Illiad transactions
We have some files that get quite large when delivering PDFs. We would like to parse these out - call them chapters or parts. unfortunately, Illiad has the restriction of a single file per TN. We would like the option of being able to upload multiple files per TN, so that when batch loading, all files with the same TN would be attached to the transaction (think TN018765a,TN018765b,TN018765c all being attached to transaction TN018765)

Check OCLC Status before sending Overdues-do not send for "Returned" OCLC status items
Remove step of manually checking for OCLC "Returned" status before generating overdues. it would be helpful if the automatic process included checking the OCLC status before sending it off and not sending for items in Returned status.
