Change duplicate icons in MD editor
In MD editor, the icons for "view bibliographic record" and "view inventory" are identical. Could one of these icons be changed?

Add a flag to indicate that a bibliographic record has been reviewed by a cataloger
Since bibliographic, holdings, and often items records are created at the point of order, it is impossible to easily tell whether or not a record has already been reviewed by a cataloger (for those types of resources that are still manually cataloged from the material in hand). A flag is needed to display (similar to the suppressed icon) on a list of titles in Repository Search so that staff can tell at a glance that a record has already been vetted by other qualified staff.
This is particularly necessary for staff working within a consortium; staff from one institution need…

Fix split editor display when 856 field is present
I have noticed that when there is a really long URL in the 856 field on a bibliographic record, the right pane in split editor view does not display correctly. You have to pull the left pane over as far as you can to see the contents of the right pane. Even after moving the left pane over you still cannot see the right pane very well. This makes editing a holdings record while looking at the bibliographic record very difficult. Please see the attached image "8561" to see how the record appears in split view before moving the…

Metadata Editor : Record locking and releasing
We need to be able to release an individual Bib or Holdings record locked by another cataloguer, in order to work on it immediately, without having to release all records locked by that person.

Adding the "Assign record to another cataloger" functionality in search results actions links
We use regularly the 'Assign record to another cataloger' functionality in the MD editor for corrections, for records enhancements, ... But this is unfortunately limited to catalogers roles.
It would really improve our resource management workflows if this Assign function was made available from search results lists. Other staff roles would so push records in an enhancements flow (such as improve marc records for newly created portfolios, such as indexing tasks, such as apply corrections that don't require having book in hands...). We actually use work orders for some in those tasks but this workflows are not always appropriate and…9 votesHello All,

Make merge rule actions fully interchangeable with all merge conditions
Currently, merge actions (add, remove, replace) only operate with specific conditional statements. For example, ADD when CONTAINS or REPLACE when DOES NOT CONTAIN. This enhancement should add the ability to use all action words with any valid conditional statement, permitting uses such as ADD when DOES NOT CONTAIN or REPLACE when CONTAINS.
