Find a way to remove duplicate odyssey articles
Sometimes folks have lots of extra articles cluttering up the Odyssey Received folder. Would be nice to have some way of identifying duplicates and removing after a user specified time.

Bring back the autofill when typing in notes
ILLiad used to autofill notes that had already been used in the current session. You could just type the first few letters and the note would come up.

Adjust API to allow non-boolean values to be posted into the Rush field.
After working with the developers, it was discovered that the BillingServiceLevel table determines the dropdown options for the Rush field in the Transactions table, but the API can only take Yes or No values when creating a transaction. We would like the API to take the same values that are possible using the web and staff client.

Re-design how RUSH requests are auto-routed and assign service level
Lending to Rush University (Docline symbol ILURUS/OCLC symbol IDL) and every request comes into the Awaiting RUSH Request Processing queue inaccurately assigning a service level to Docline tickets that don't have that service level. Ticket 5397

Remove editing options for admin Lending and Unmatched user accounts.
Johns Hopkins had a mishap where the Lending user for one of the shared server sites had its NVTGC changed in the Location dropdown in the Staff Client. This moved all of the site's Lending requests into the other site's view. Perhaps we could consider removing the ability to edit the "Lending User" accounts and the Unmatched accounts.

Ability to delete and correct pdf - same as tif images
Ex. Borrower received article on 7/13 and that one was delivered to web, but then they received it again on 7/16 from the same lender. That time it was a duplicate, and it was stuck at 'unmatched' in the OdysseyReceived table in the database, so every time they hit Electronic Delivery it would come in for them to match it and deliver it.
Usually if a site receives a wrong TIF file that is unmatched, they should use the "delete all" button in the electronic delivery screen in the client. That will change the OdysseyReceived table entry to "Deleted" and…

Client fields for Transaction vs Database Fields - all should be available
There are several fields in the Transactions table of the ILLiad database that show up on the Borrowing Request form, but not on the Check in from Lending Library form, or vice versa. Examples: "Priority Shipping" shows up on Borrowing Request form, but not Check In form "Handle With Care" shows up on Check In form, but not Borrowing Request form. These items also do not show up on the list of fields available when customizing form layouts. Is there another way to add them to a form? If not, is there a reason for this inconsistency?

Installing : Default "unchecked" for opening SQL Manager for small point releases
Would anyone else like to avoid this when doing "small point" updates to clients?
When we have small point updates for ILLiad the last step in the process opens the SQL Manager window, unless you uncheck a box on the “Finish” screen, it also (sometimes) does not replace the ILLiad icon on the Taskbar.
For larger updates, full versions, ILLiad usually has a script that skips (or pre-unchecks) that box and also replaces the icon on the Taskbar.
In cases here, the SQL Manager window opened and not everyone knows what to do with that (some staff, students are thrown…

Additional location tracking to prevent human error.
When a lender mistakenly ships something without updating it in ILLIAD, it can often be missed on the borrowing side as well leading to confusion when additional items arrive and libraries not receiving compensation. This is a human error but if there was a software side way to help prevent this it would help high volume users.

Unfilled request process not canceling the OCLC request
Check for any conditionals in the history. If a condition is denied from the last lender, the request will automatically update to unfilled. If the user then immediately creates a new OCLC request from the open request, the process to remove the existing OCLC request will not run. The work-around is to close the request after responding to the condition and open the request from the Awaiting Unfilled Processing queue. This behavior is similar to the Awaiting Request Processing queue where the options to create an OCLC request will only appear if the request is opened from the queue.

If a string has a blank value for a field, skip using that field in favor of a later one that does contain a value.

Want to print Borrowing Notes specifically on a lending request
Site would like a way to print the Note or a way to select what notes to print. The problem is that the Borrowing Notes show up first, but other notes show up after that. They want the Borrowing notes to show up on the Print template, but because the Borrowing Notes are not the last note, it does not show up on the Pint template. It would also nice to just have a field called Borrowing Notes and print that.

ILLiad / Aeon integration - request type would transfer from ILLiad to Aeon automatically
The request type (Loan or Photoduplication) should transfer automatically from ILLiad to Aeon. ILL staff should not have to select that again when transferring the request to Aeon.

ILLiad / Aeon integration - reduce clicks by streamlining processes
It would be ideal if when Aeon staff cancel an Aeon request received from ILL / ILLiad the request would also auto-cancel in ILLIad as well, so the ILL staff would not have to cancel once more.

Would like a way to automate the resend request process
Currently, staff have to send an email to the lending library to request a resend. ILLiad doesn't necessarily know that the item has been resent and the original document conflicts with the new version. Also, the message itself for a resend is not in ILLiad or Odyssey or any other system.

Support for multiple renewal requests by web user
The end user needs to be able to request a renewal more than once. Also, once that renewal has been approved the next time, it should go back to Awaiting Renewal OK Processing, regardless that it has already been at that status once before.
