  • Improved options for hold overrides
  • Recent Staff Searches
  • Bookbag Enhancements

  • Enhancements to the advanced search interface (details to follow)
  • Indicate items-I-have-checked-out-before in search results
  • Patron Saved Searches

Pending Features (Unsponsored)

  • Get rid of fixed widths and other problematic layout elements. Generally simplify.
  • Spell check
  • Check for password strength at login and force change if password is weak
  • Metarecord searching (aka "group formats and editions")
    • (displaying records linked to a MR is supported)
  • Metarecord holds
  • Some added content components have not been re-integrated
  • More robust serials display, including 866 holdings
  • Widget-based access to all configured search indexes
    • See the "Advanced" button just below the search input box on the results page in current OPAC
    • In other words, widget-based access to search against any field configured in config.metabib_field where search_field=true
  • Search Range
    • TPac does not presently maintain the concept of "Search Range" at the UI level like the current OPAC. In other words, it's not possible to search at Branch B while including results from System S. (In TPac, one would simply search at System S). This primarily affects the results page. In the current OPAC, you might see copy counts at different levels of the organizational hierarchy (consortium, system, branch, etc.). In TPac, you only see copy counts for the location (consortium, system, branch, etc.) you are searching.
  • Replace config.tt2 file with YAOUS for each setting
  • Conjoined Items
  • Authorities Cross-Referencing
  • Bib records without copies appear to patrons in the OPAC. Bib records without copies do not appear in a gray band in the staff client so that staff know that these records do not have copies.
    • The above isn't always true, but may be true under some circumstances. A bug report with specifics is desirable.
  • Some of the search filters, such as shelving location, "basic" item type, literary form, and bib level
  • Depth-based org hiding. We have a custom org tree, but not context org-specific trimming of the org tree.
  • Public notes
  • Authority browse: should be added as a new tab in advanced search. See launchpad bug/wishlist entry
