  1. Make the custom search condition add or subtract buttons visible all the time, not just when hovered over

    Please make the custom search condition add or subtract buttons visible all the time again, instead of only when you hover over them!

    I use custom search a lot both when searching OCLC for harder to find items, and when pulling statistics or answering questions from admin, and this change with 9.2 to no longer make these buttons visible makes things surprisingly difficult.

  2. Change the default "Save as type" for Electronic Delivery from TIFF to PDF

    Good to have a copy of files which wasn't sent via Odyssey and are sitting in ED. It will save processing time to save files form Electronic delivery.

  3. Disable "end request routing"

    I was wondering about the DOCLINE caveat that states a request canceled due to "Cost Exceeds Limit" would "end request routing.”
    Is there some way to disable this? I have had to cancel requests that would've cost more than the patron was willing/able to pay, but I hate to think their search would end with us because of that.

  4. 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.

  5. Support copying lending request data from Docline web browser

    ILLiad used to have a feature that would allow us to copy the Docline new lending requests page from a web browser and import them into ILLiad.

    With recent changes to Google account security not working within ILLiad, and Microsoft accounts suddenly not being recognized by Docline, it would be great to be able to copy the page from a web browser. We do not have access to the other login options offered by Docline/NLM

    As it stands, our only option is to copy each request line-by-line into a blank ILLiad form.

  6. I would liek ot be able to truncate text in field for printing. Sometimes the title is long and pushes my book strap on to a second page.

    I want to truncate the length of the title in some of my print templates so labels print consistently. I would also like to be able to change the color of the font based on the data in a merge field to call attention to a users NVTGC for example.

  7. 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.

  10. Improve functionality of the patron's search results webpage

    We would like to see improvements to the ILLiad search results webpage. These improvements would benefit all users, but particularly those users with a large number of requests or lengthy user history. Some suggestions provide by users:

    A method to reorder results in ascending and descending order.
    A method to limit/filter results by various values, such as Document Type.
    A method to limit/filter results by date received and/or date finished.
    A method to sort requests alphabetically, such as by title or author.

    Thanks!

  11. 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?

  12. Allow editing in the Electronic Delivery window regardless of file type

    For years I wondered why we could edit/crop some documents from the elec del window before delivering it to our patrons, and other documents we could not. An Atlas article explains that if the file is sent in PDF format, one cannot edit it in the viewer. Please enable the editing function regardless of file type as this is desired often - repeatedly on a daily basis.

  13. Incoming Lending RapidR to reflect default Renewal setting in Customization Manager

    Incoming Lending RapidR requests in ILLiad are set to be "No Renewal" by default. We wanted to change it since we now allow renewals, yet our Loan labels print as "No Renewal." A borrowing library pointed out that it is confusing when they process Receives.

    I was told by OCLC and Rapid (Exlibris) that RapidR requests do not reflect the "LendingRestrictDefault" keys for Renewals, Photocopying, and Library Use Only in Customization Manager.

    I wish Lending RapidR requests could reflect these default values the same as OCLC Loan requests in ILLiad.

  15. 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.

  16. SymCirAddon - final step should be removal of bib record created

    The final step in this Addon should be the removal of the bib record when held item is returned (Checked-in) or when due date is reached (if the item on Hold is not picked up by the patron).

  17. Allow copyright payment via CCC for document delivery requests, not just borrowing requests.

    Currently document delivery requests aren't hooked up to CCC, so we cannot submit CCC payments for doc del requests via ILLiad, and instead have to manually log into the CCC via a browser and manually input the requests for which we are paying copyright fees. It would be helpful if doc del requests could follow the same workflow as borrowing requests for the CCC integration.

  18. Auto due date/overdue reminders should continue, even after an item has reached "very overdue"

    If an item gets to the stage of "very overdue" in ILLiad and then the item is renewed, I've noticed that ILLiad's auto-reminders stop going forward. It would be nice if they continued to be sent, adjusting for the new due date, regardless of the previous overdue history

  19. staff manager

    We know this exists in the Aeon staff manager, but don’t see a way to do so in ILLIad. This is a functional gap between the two products.

    We would like to be able to display the Description field in the columned display. We find it useful when reviewing staff accounts in order to address staffing changes, etc.
