Make Illiad fields searchable regardless of including accent marks/special characters Allow the ability to do searches in ILLiad & pull up the correct results regardless of whether that field has a special characters or accent marks, etc. For instance, doing a patron last name search for Peña, should pull up with Pena or Peña (currently it has to be an exact match). Same thing with titles & authors, if the title has accent marks or special characters, we cannot pull up the request without also including the special characters/accent marks.

ILLiad Server Updater Enhance the Updater to remove older .replaced files or do not create them to start with since all older dll and exe files are already in C:\illiad\setup. The .replaced files take space and make it harder to find the correct files when troubleshooting

Add a user confirmation check to the WebCirc checkout process It's easy for a high-volume institution with many student workers at many desks to mistakenly check a book out to a user that is not for the user in front of them. Because the TN# is attached to the user, ILLiad then indicates that the item is checked out to the requesting user when the book may have been given to the wrong user. A simple pop-up during the checkout process confirming the username/ID# of the user the item is being checked out to would help prevent this. (and the ability to undo if necessary)

Improve WebCirc functionality Allow for WebCirc users (staff) to undo something they did by mistake, for instance, marking an item in transit back to ILL instead of checking it out. And/or add a "are you sure" message when moving a request to in transit that is not already at "checked out to customer"

Allow for more targeted web alerts Allow for multiple critera for displaying web alerts. We have 23 campuses and I'd like to be able to specify I want (for example) Faculty at One Campus (organization field) to receive an alert but not the Faculty at the other 22 campuses. (and other similar circumstances)

Create a way for ILLiad to export citations associated with their requests directly to RefWorks or another reference manager. Often users acquire articles first through ILLiad and then decide if they want to use them for their research. The DOI resolver and DOI DSP addon features provide complete citations for our users. It would be helpful if a user could simply export the citation associated with a request directly to a reference manager for their bibliography.

NCIP connection between ILLiad and FOLIO to check lending loans in and out Currently, staff have to manually check out any materials we lend via ILL to our ILL "patron" account, and when returned items need to be checked in both in ILLiad and in FOLIO. Occasionally, a checkin or checkout is missed, which can cause a lot of confusion, lost materials, and/or invoices sent in error.
We would love to automate the check in and checkout process of our own materials. My understanding is that NCIP functionality is already available in FOLIO.

Have Lender Select box consider Odyssey and email addresses too Atlas support said recently that only the shipping and billing address fields are checked for incoming ILL requests. Libraries often change their contact info. and it would be best if the system is checking for that too in order to avoid outdated Lender records in the Client and misdeliveries

Improve Z39.50 and FOLIO connection There's already a call out to FOLIO to improve how multi-volume holdings appear in XML to make them visible via Z39.50, but it would probably help matters if Atlas Systems and FOLIO worked together to make this improvement for all libraries migrating to FOLIO. https://issues.folio.org/browse/ZF-84
Basically, if there are multiple volumes of a title, only summary holdings and inaccurate availability status are visible through Z39.50. Some libraries have implemented custom addons to get around this, but this is really a workaround to what should be a standard function.

Identify ghost/fake ChatGPT citations Check citations somehow before lenders end up spending time trying to verify ghost ChatGPT requests maybe via Addon or other processing method.

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 -

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.

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.

Allow for wildcard IP address entries in the OdysseyAccess table in Customization Manager We have client workstations that are trusted but may change IP address within the organization's assignment pool. While implementing the manual "Allowed" list in the Odyssey Access Control process ( https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011908313-Odyssey-Access-Control ) it would be helpful for us to allow an entire subnet instead of allowing specific IP addresses. For example, if our known workstations receive a hypothetical address of 10.20.30.x, we would like to be able to enter a single entry that allows all of 10.20.30.*

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.

Allow applying field/layout/grid customizations to all users in Staff Manager Please make it simpler to set customizations for all staff, including future ones. Currently, field customizations that are applicable to all users must be applied to new users one-by-one.

Ability to utilize IFM via Billing Manager for Lost Book/other charges Paying/Billing for lost or damaged items is complicated! It would be great if we could utilize the power of IFM to bill one another instead. Also, we would know that the money is going right back into ILL services!

question Provide an internal to ILLiad customer question function. Instead of us having to use an email, etc., incorporate functionality into ILLiad for customers to contact us regarding the request and for us to answer and have it all recorded within the transaction.

Button to route to Partial/Incorrect queue in Odyssey window It would be great to have a button to route requests to the Received Partial/Incorrect queue, in the Electronic Delivery window that appears as part of Awaiting Odyssey Processing. Currently, one must delete the Odyssey file then manually route the request to that queue when the situation applies
