Expand the borrowing statuses in which patron cannot cancel. Not sure if this goes in the web interface. We have some custom queues we use for items that we've already ordered and do not want to have the ability for a patron to cancel. Right now can only specify cannot cancel if item is in the "Request Sent" status.

When non-OCLC library creates an LWeb account, have a registration workflow built in to check legitimacy before they can submit requests We want non-OCLC libraries to be able to create their own accounts, and to be able to make that process more transparent. However, right now, anyone can create an account and immediately place requests.
After catching some illegitimate requests entered in this way we made a routing rule to review LWeb requests, but it would be better to have the workflow built into the system, so we can better manage approving, expiring, blocking, and communicating with non-OCLC libraries.

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.

Set the addon interval per server addon It would be nice to be able to set the interval or specific time(s) that each server addon runs, rather than have them all run at the same interval. Some that I have only need to run once a day, while others need to run constantly.

Unattended configuration of Atlas SQL Alias Manager There is currently (according to Atlas Systems support) no method for setting a logon.dbc file as the default for ILLiad (and related applications) in a scripted/automated/unattended manner. When setting up large numbers of computers, this would be a handy feature.

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.

API functionality include renewal requests from patrons The ILLiad API is great because patrons can view all their requests local and ILL in one place but this is really read only. It would be very helpful for the API to also allow for renewal requests or to support a renewal request via NCIP.

Book Chapters - send Article Constant Data instead of Loan Ticket 6277. Book Chapter requests are using OCLC Loan Constant Data instead of Article. Would like to use article constant data for book chapters.

Title in Borrowing Check In from Lending Library From the Check In from Lending Library screen you can update most of the information before checking in. For some reason you can't currently change the title without opening the request. This causes any changes that have been made to the request (due date, restrictions, special notes) to be lost. I need to change the title regularly to remove notes to the lending library that we often put in the title field. Being able to delete these notes from the Check In from Lending Library screen would be very helpful!

Creating a customization key for choosing where temporary files are stored. Discovered there is trouble merging templates from shared drives, so being able to choose temporary files to go to another location would be ideal.

Improve user experience on first create a group in Groups Maintenance When no groups exist, the Groups Maintenance interface has no active options.
https://www.screencast.com/t/iXDdQokIBG9GUsers must start typing in a group name in order to activate the options in the ribbon. This functionality is not very intuitive; it is different than the functionality experienced after the groups have been added; it is also different from the way that similar functionality is designed in other parts of the product.
Having all ribbon options active prior to adding a group would provide a more intuitive experience for the user.
See support ticket #10412

Groups functionality--tie group with Lender address records It would be helpful if assigning a library to particular group would also update values in the lender address record such as the Default Shipping Method or Billing Categories or Priority Shipping.

Allow for custom workflows in reporting Some institutions have custom workflows that cause ILLiad custom reports not to work properly for statistics. Ticket #7411 requests that we find a way to accommodate requests not going through "Request in Processing" on the lending side.
