• Quick navigation from results: Use links in the Name column to open related details. For provider-related entries, selecting the provider name can also narrow the results to that provider’s activity.
• Improved usability and consistency: The grid supports horizontal scrolling when needed, and several labeling/text updates improve clarity and consistency across the page.

Easily see which holdings feeds need attention using the "Contact Support" status (Collection Manager>Home)

When there is an issue with a holdings feed, you may now see a Contact support status in the holdings feed table. This status helps highlight feeds that may need attention and provides a direct link to OCLC Support.

Within this update, you’ll see the following behavior:

• Clear status indicator: A feed can display Contact support in the Status column, making it easy to spot feeds that may need attention.
• Direct link to Support: Selecting Contact support opens the OCLC Support page in a new tab so you can quickly review next steps or open a case.
• Status clears after updates: If you edit the feed’s token values (add, remove, or change a value), the Contact support status is cleared and the feed returns to its prior status.
