Innovative, part of Clarivate, is happy to announce the Sierra Idea Lab winners for the “All Together Now” challenge!
Pairwise voting has concluded for the Sierra challenge, and we have our winners!
Focused on enhancements to batch update records in Sierra, library users submitted 13 ideas for this challenge and had 21 pairs of ideas for voting.
The Winners
Submission: Add record to list feature — Adding the ability to add any record to a review file from any open record in Sierra.
Inspired by: Idea submitted by Jeremy Goldstein
Submission: Have system-generated Review Files appear in the dropdown list in Global/Rapid Update — While working with Global Update/Rapid Update, system-generated review files will appear in the Review File dropdown list.
Inspired by: Idea submitted by Pam Skittino
Submission: Create Lists to Global Update button – When working with a review file, add a button that will take the user directly to Global Update to work on the same review file.
Proposed For: H2 2023 – H1 2024 (TBD)
“Sierra customers submitted several great ideas for improving the functionality to batch update records,” said Mike Dicus, Sierra Product Manager. “I’m delighted that we will be able to implement multiple ideas from this challenge to improve Sierra workflows and give library staff a better user experience.”
Remember, submissions live on in Idea Lab and our Always Open Space never closes. If you submitted an enhancement that is still important to you or you have just discovered a development opportunity, the Always Open space provides a place to post that idea for any Sierra product.
