Greater functionality for the Manage Deleted Repository Function
The other day I accidentally deleted several thousand portfolios that should not have been deleted. When I went to the "Manage Deleted Repository" functionality to restore them I found I could only restore them one by one. There was no option to mark multiple items on a page or to restore a page of items at a time. There was no option to reverse the job. This shows a remarkable lack of sophistication and is quite simply unacceptable in a modern LSP

I noticed in the documentation that the limit (without logging a case) is 5000 records. I'm often reluctant to log a case, because I need to reverse the deletion quickly and there is no way of knowing how long it will take ExLibris to action it. Is there any prospect that this limit will be raised? Every time I've accidentally deleted multiple bibs/portfolios the numbers of records have exceeded the 5000 limit.

It would be very helpful if "Description" were added to the item info shown for physical item searches. For example, if several items of a serial are withdrawn and one needs to be restored, you cannot tell which item belongs to which issue to know which one to restore, and it takes too long to restore them all one by one.

Hi Steve
There are options for restoring records in batch, which may have been deleted by a job.
