Hello Innovative users!
Innovative, now part of Clarivate, would like to announce that pairwise voting has concluded for the Polaris All Systems Go! Idea Lab Challenge, and we have our winner!
Designed to focus on ways to improve administration of the ILS, this was a smaller challenge with 7 ideas and 6 pairs for voting.
The Winner
Submission: Multi-Select in Patron / Material Type Loan Limits Table – Allow multiple selections of Organizations & Patron Codes to populate Material Type list (lower table) on the Patron / Material Type Loan Limit Blocks, Policy Table.
Inspired by: Idea submitted by Eric Young
Proposed For: TBD
“While this idea was larger than the allocated point estimate, it received the highest number of votes by far,” said Samantha Quell, Polaris Product Manager. “This is one of the highest-use tables in System Administration and it can be time consuming to make updates across all organizations. This idea would provide some bulk-change capabilities to streamline modifications to loan limits.”
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’ve just discovered a development opportunity, the Always Open space provides a place to post that idea for any Polaris product.
