Local due date not synced with system updates
When patron account expirations are updated across the system, Rapido loan due dates are not updated. Physical loans received can have a due date later than the expiration dates, and currently staff need to manually update due dates after the system updates. This leads to patron confusion about due dates, and added staff hours. We'd propose a change that allows Rapido loan due dates to be correctly attributed when patron accounts are renewed.

Add additional parameters to a "send borrower document delivery rules" in RAPIDO
We would like some additional parameters added to the Send borrower document delivery rules in RAPIDO. The user group, stat category and partner is not sufficient. We would like to see Label = and request note contains to the list of options as this would catch new users submitting requests for OCR in the notes.

Send resource sharing requests directly to pick up locations
Have the option to send the pick up location's address (where the pick up location is a library not requests with personal delivery selected) to the lending library to have the request sent directly to the pick up location rather than to the Resource sharing library.
A little tick box to receive resource sharing requests could be good, similar to screen shot.

Differentiate Rapido Physical Offer, Location of Partner, and Lend/Borrow Transaction Date-Range
We need to reconcile our charges for outgoing mail--of both lent (supplied) and borrowed (returned) by fiscal year (i.e. date-range), and I am not able to find a way to discern what was shipped, what was not, what was sent by courier (=no postage required), and what was sent via U.S. Mail.
If there's a way to do this that I'm not seeing in Analytics, I'm happy to learn more. I've been looking in Analytics, and have also looked at available filters in the Rapido interface and am seeing no possibility of filtering to include or exclude a specific date-range.

Note to Patron for Digital Local Upload
It would often be helpful to include a note to the patron when filling local, digital borrowing requests. This would allow us to provide further context or resources about an uploaded file or link to the patron when filling requests with owned materials through the local fill process.
For instance, for owned digital materials, we would like to paste the permalink for the digital holding in the catalog into the URL field and use this as an opportunity to educate the patron on how to access the material themselves instead of uploading the file we own directly to them. However,…

Expand more fields to input ILL code for book chapter lending
We currently use autoholding for Wiley UBCM trials and purchased titles in a single E-collection, "Wiley Online Library - Autoholding Books." This workflow worked well until our Library implemented ebook chapter inter-library loan (ILL) for Wiley purchased titles using Rapido. Due to Alma’s technical limitation, we need to add an ILL code to the internal description of E-collections that allow ILL, which cannot be done in our current setup. Therefore, we plan to separate Wiley UBCM trials and purchased titles into two different E-collections.
We request an enhancement to Alma to include more fields for ILL codes, ideally at the…

Show original source of GTI records
Our patrons can find some pretty unique items through the GTI records in Primo, especially as more libraries place archival records in their catalogs. However, they expect to be able to request these items via interlibrary loan, and without any way to tell whose catalog the record originated from we are having trouble finding items which are listed in the GTI but not listed in OCLC’s Worldcat. We would like the original source of GTI records to be accessible to resource sharing staff on the backend. If there are more than three sources for a given record, only three can…

Book strap generation
Hello,
We manually create book bands that go around the front cover of our incoming borrowed Rapido books. The strap has information like, due date, pick up location, etc. It would be great if Rapido had an option to generate a book strap with custom fields that can be enabled depending on what information each library likes on their book strap.1 vote -
Hide unrequestable formats in the GTI
Our librarians and patrons are increasingly frustrated with the number of records in the GTI for items not available through requesting. We would like the ability to configure what format types appear in our GTI search profiles. This way our library can decide to hide all streaming video from appearing in the search for our patrons. Basically, a built in behind the scenes filter.
This is how I think it would work. In the search profile settings, add a place where systems librarians can select what formats they want visible in the GTI. For example they can select Book, DVD,…

In Rapido Primo profile, filter out full text resources provided by our library.
When our patrons link to our Rapido Primo profile, the results include full-text resources provided by our library. This is confusing to our patrons. This should only include resources that can be requested from other libraries.

Hide Rapido tile with availability by the borrowing library
We would like to have the option to hide the Rapido tile with availability by the borrowing library, because we do not have a campus structure and the IZ is made up of widely scattered libraries.

Option to Separate CDI and GTI
Currently, to turn on CDI for unowned electronic resources also turns on the GTI for physical resources. We want to be able to include article request data in a separate search profile. The GTI is very messy still and librarians are asking for more control in their default sets to better meet the needs of our patrons without frustrating them with bad records for items they cannot get. We want to indlude CDI for unowned items in all our search profiles and still let patrons be able to expand to the GTI.

Transit times via Analytics Reports
We would like to have a clear view of transit times in Rapido, in order to ensure an efficient user experience, optimize internal workflows and enable accurate calculations of the various relevant dates.
To assess these service times, it is important to define the topology for which the solution is being proposed: We will assume two universities (UniversityA and UniversityB) participating in a Rapido pod. Each university has a central point (branchI and branchJ), which is the only branch responsible for handling shipments. In addition, each university has many other branches.
The total time from when…

Allow library to fully edit their member name
Alma requires you to use the institution name in your resource sharing shipping information. For libraries that share an instance of Alma with another college or university this creates confusion for partner libraries during processing because the first name in the institution name is not necessarily the name of where an item is going.
Example:
Borrowing library: College A
Institution name: University of B and College A
Shipping address:
University of B and College A - College A

town, state, 00000Allowing libraries to fully customize their resource sharing member name (or fully customize their shipping information) will…

Differentiate Rapido Physical Offer
Is ist possible to differentiate Rapido Physical Offers by POD or by type of order?
We would like to have the possibility to be able to suppress the display of the Rapido Tile more specifically.
E.g. we would like to suppress the Rapido Tile for courier but not for home delivery.18 votes -
