Include Request ID with problem reports

When reporting an issue with My Account or WorldCat Discovery, it's very helpful to include the Request ID. It can be found at the bottom of the screen on which the issue occurred. Including this information allows us to directly trace what happened on the request we are troubleshooting.

Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti

Provide an improved user experience for submitting interlibrary loan requests

For libraries with Tipasa

When an ILL request is submitted, the system performs many steps behind the scenes that can take several seconds to complete. This includes automated steps like bibliographic matching, holdings checks, removing deflecting libraries, and building the lender string. Only after these steps finish does the request appear in the Tipasa staff interface and display in My Account as Submitted.

My Account now waits longer for an ILL request to submit

My Account previously waited just 15 seconds for the ILL system to confirm receipt of a newly submitted request, and when no confirmation was received, My Account indicated that the request submission was not successful. The library user likely re-submitted their request, creating a duplicate request. 

My Account now waits 30 seconds for the ILL system to respond. This longer time period will be sufficient for most - if not all - ILL requests to complete, so the number of duplicate requests created due to the time limit will be substantially reduced.

Improved message provided when submission of an ILL request takes longer than expected

For any request that takes longer than the new 30 second time limit, a new message will display, instructing the library user to check their Requests list before submitting the request again.

Newly submitted requests now have a status of Pending

Previously, newly submitted requests frequently showed a status of Unknown while the ILL system completed its initial processing of the request. The library user may not have been sure that the request was successful and may have submitted a duplicate request to make sure. Now the status is shown as Pending, to encourage the user to wait for the status to update.
