Congrats to Sierra Idea Lab Winners for “All Systems Go!”
Hello Innovative users!
Innovative, now part of Clarivate, would like to announce that pairwise voting has concluded for the Sierra – 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 challenge with 16 ideas and 120 pairs for voting.
The Winner
Submission: Improve load profile editing and/or viewing interface – A new graphical editor for load profiles to prevent syntax errors and to clearly present options.
Inspired by: Idea submitted by Dani Elder
Proposed For: TBD
“Batch loading is an essential part of libraries’ workflows and the current text-based interface to edit the load profiles is difficult to use,” said Mike Dicus, Sierra Product Manager. “This idea will provide a much-needed update and navigational improvements to make it easier to create, edit, and maintain load profiles. We expect this project will require development in phases across multiple releases, and plan to work with several systems librarians to make sure the new interface incorporates as many improvements as possible while maintaining the existing capabilities.”
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 Sierra product.
