Make "Always show current location" the default
Please either make "Always show current location" checkbox ticked by default or allow a system configuration to toggle whether it is force displayed. It is always more useful to see the location than not.

Save Facet Settings
There are facet settings/searches we tend to run more than others. It would be really excellent and save a lot of duplicated work if it was possible to save certain facet configurations or bookmark the search so we could quickly access it again later. Would be even better if those searches could be shared among our staff, like how public sets are.
An example would be having a saved Request/Process type facet filter so we could quickly see what items were needing to be shipped physically, but there are any number of facet searches that it would be fantastic to…

Improve reorder functionality in Fulfillment Unit Rules
Right now, if you add a new fulfillment unit rule, it goes to the bottom of the list. If it needs to be elsewhere, you have to use the reorder arrows to quite tediously move the rule up and down (click ... reload page ... scroll to find where rule is ... click ... reload page ... ad nauseum.)
It would be SO much better if we could either
1) Drag and drop the rules (and then require clicking a save button to save the new order, and/or
2) Reorder using the row number by exporting to an external spreadsheet,…1 vote -
New Manage Patron Services UI
In the new circulation desk UI, it would be useful if the appearance of the options: "Send loan receipt" and "Send request receipt" can be configured.
In a library that has decided not to enable these two letters, it does not make sense for them to show in the options drop-down menu.
The same thing happens with the option "add/renew patron role".1 vote -
Calendar update recurring
It would be useful to be able to enter the dates of recurring holidays localized by country via "Calendar Management", in order to avoid having to confirm these dates every year.
