ILLiad Ideas

Add price to Symbol/days to lend grid instead of hovering for that information.
Having to hover over a symbol to see the cost while in borrowing trying to build a custom string takes extra time. It would be great if the cost could be displayed right next to the days to fill.

Make barcodes more usable/searchable in the ILLiad client
Expand the ItemNumber field in ILLiad to accommodate multiple barcodes for multi-volume sets. Add ItemNumber to the default Number search in the ILLiad ribbon for easy access. Add ItemNumber to fields searched by TN/ILL # search on Check Item In interface.
All of the above would allow more efficient handling of borrowing returns when paperwork with Transaction is missing.

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.

Tag other ILLiad users in a staff note
We can use flags and notes to ask other ILLiad staff users questions about a request, but it would be even simpler if we could include @PersonName in a staff note and notify them that they'd been tagged for review/response.

Hard to tell when Editing vs Copying a row in Customization Manager tables
When working in the OpenURLMapping table, we noticed it really is impossible to tell if you're in the "Copy" or "Edit" mode because the ID value doesn't show up in either of them. We'd expect it to show while in Edit mode, but be blank in Copy mode.
In general, when working with a table in the customization manager, it gets very confusing when you think you hit Copy but then worry you may have hit Edit instead since the opened row says "Edit Row" either way. If there was some way to indicate better whether you were in Copy…

iOS app for ILLiad on iPad
Please develop an ILLiad app for iOS on iPad. It would greatly ease some of the difficulties our workers have doing their job remotely.

Copy Layout & Grid Settings - Separate Borrowing, Doc Del, and Lending
In the Staff Manager, please adjust the granularity of the Copy Layout & Grid Settings by Borrowing, Doc Del, and Lending. If I make major changes to the Borrowing layout, I'd like to be able to copy those changes to the relevant student employees & staff, but not overwrite their layouts in DocDel and Lending. It would be very helpful if we could indicate which layouts to change and which to retain in these different areas of ILLiad.

Book Chapters - Should use Article holdings path instead of Loan holdings path
Book chapter requests use the incorrect custom holdings path; they pull from OCLCILLLoanHoldingsPath instead of OCLCILLArticleHoldingsPath, but the latter is the correct path.

staff password complexity description
Add a field to the StaffPasswordComplexity field to allow a plain text description of the regular expression. A user should able to view what the password requirements for staff passwords are without having knowledge of regular expressions.

Include ability to batch update records
I realize that this could be very dangerous and should be locked down behind something like the database manager, but having the ability to batch update records (transaction, user, lender, etc) in ILLiad would be a huge time saver. There are times when local data or workflows change, and the ability to change more than one record at once would open up a lot of possibilities.

ILLiad Lending scanning display email of borrower
In the lending scanning window, display the email address of the borrower. When sending via Article Exchange it isn't always known if the email address is filled out in the address book. If the email address is not in the address book, the article does not get delivered.

Add Expired User Indication on User Record
When using User Expiration in 9.1, the only indication of a user's expired status on the User Record is the Expiration Date. All other indicators are the same as a New User :
User Record= no status button active
https://www.screencast.com/t/1xqQr0NbaIZTransaction Record=flag by username and "user not cleared" status warning
https://www.screencast.com/t/0DttY3BXKQkPI would be helpful to be able to readily distinguish between users that are expired vs. users that are new.

More ItemInfo and UserInfo fields
Consider increasing the number of ItemInfo and UserInfo fields to more than 5 each. We have already used up all of the ItemInfo fields and have had to re-purpose existing fields to collect the additional information we need in our borrowing requests.

A key to determine if request auto opens (or doesn't) when it's the only item in a queue.
I would like to be able to control if a request will automatically open when searched or when a queue of one is displayed.
Primarily, I want to be able to STOP the request from opening automatically. Many times we search for an item to see info, or route to an active status, and auto opening just slows down our ability to do this as we wait for the request to render.

Extend database field length for ISSN
Extend the max field length for the ISSN/ISBN field beyond 20 Characters. Users sometimes copy/paste an ISBN with a prefix (e.g. ISBN: 1234567891234). If they do that with a 13-digit ISBN, the last digits are cut off.

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.

Improvement to Borrowing Turnaround Times Report
Currently, the report is generated with Articles, Loans, Overall, and Overall w/ Manually Processed tabs. The Articles, Loans, and Overall tabs are generated with the data of transactions that are automatically processed. What we need is a way to generate this same report with all of the articles regardless of automatic or manual processing (same with loans). With this data being lumped into the Overall w/ Manually Processed tab it is unhelpful when trying to discover total articles or loan turnaround times (not both together).
What is most desired is a way to decide if the report is generated with…
