| Holds (Client/Console) | When an item is on hold (status = R) and the item has another item level hold, the most recent hold request number is displayed instead of the current hold request number. | Coding has been adjusted so that the hold request number displayed matches the hold request for the first patron hold. | 03/24/2025 |
| Client - Item detail > Edit group 2 | In some cases, it was no longer possible to make edits in group 2 of the item detail. This was caused by the filter on the drop-downs not handling empty or unknown values properly in some cases, causing the screen to not load properly. |
A change has been made to the code that now resolves this issue. | 03/17/2025 |
| New My account – My account details | When a phone number or email address was changed in My Menu, the customer's date of birth was set back by 1 day. | The code for adjusting these modals has been adjusted so that the date of birth is not changed. | 03/17/2025 |

| Catalog | If the last copy of a title was discarded off and there was a hold on it, the title would not be correctly moved to the bottom after the discard during the night run when the hold was processed. | When processing a hold during the night run, the title is placed in the title updater. If there are no more copies attached to the title, the title goes to the bottom. | 03/10/2025 |
| Client - Titles > Order administration > Journal overview | In some cases, the wrong General Ledger Description was displayed in the journal overview. | An adjustment has been made to the code so that the correct General Ledger description is now picked up. | 03/10/2025 |

| Catalog > Title (title type = T) > Subscription | If the title type is changed from Q to T, the correct dialog box with only 1 year field will appear when receiving a new copy via Catalog > Title > Subscription. If the year and edition number are then filled in correctly (e.g. 2025, number 01), a second year will be filled in in the background and after clicking on "Continue" you will receive a message "Period [2025/25] Number [01] Is period correct?". If you click on "Yes" in this message*, the magazine will be received. For the Subscription, the Last number is now 20252501. A new year title has also been created "[Single issues 2025/25]". |
For titles with title type 'T', magazine calendar year, a second year is no longer automatically filled in the background. This will ensure that the Latest issue for the relevant subscription is correctly filled in with the year and edition number, e.g. 2025 01. Even if for some other reason the Last issue of a subscription with title type 'T' is not correct, the Last issue will be recorded correctly upon receipt of a new copy. |

| Client - Selections and statistics | If the greater than sign > was used for customers, number of loans, “incl network”, then patrons with 0 loans were also shown. | The underlying query is updated so that, the check mark “incl network” searches for patrons who have a role in an institution within the network. The section “incl network” gives the loans of the patrons in institutions in the network. | 03/10/2025 |
| New OPAC – My account > -- > Digital content | When trying to look at the items on the Digital content tabs (My holds and My Checkouts), the system would display an error rather than the items. | The display processing of the items on the Digital content tabs has been updated to eliminate the issue generating the error. | 03/10/2025 |

| New OPAC – Online subscription | An error message is displayed when clicking on the Subscribe button after filling out the required fields in the process of registering a new patron. | Some information fields that are mandatory, but were not marked as mandatory, have been marked. The registration process prevents a patron from attempting to Subscribe before all mandatory information is provided. | 03/10/2025 |
| Client – Various drop-down menus | In several places in the Client, sometimes when only viewing a value in the dropdown, the first value from the dropdown list was also inadvertently selected. | A change has been made to so that unintended value is no longer selected. | 03/03/2025 |
| Console – Catalog > Title detail, item detail, and title metadata detail displays OPAC > Title detail, item detail, and title metadata detail displays |

03/03/2025 |
| Manager - systemWise > Wisecat+ configuration > Wisecat+ menu (New OPAC) |

| Manager > Report 10 Day Count (Circulation > Daily Counts) |
Multiple actions cannot be entered for the Daily Counts report (rapport 10). | The character limit of the 'Action Type' field has been increased from 10 to 255 characters. | 02/24/2025 |
| Console – Item details | The held for branch was not displaying the correct branch code and name for held items | Processing has been updated to the held for branch field is accurately populated. | 02/24/2025 |
| Console – Item request manager | Material type was saved as a description in the item request manager and as a code in new My account > My request. As a result, no value showed in the item request manager when looking at requests created in the new My account > My requests. |
Processing has been updated in the Console to store the request’s material type as a code rather than a description. Following the change all new requests will have a visible material description. (Product will work with individual libraries to update their older requests to replace stored material descriptions with the appropriate material codes.) |
02/24/2025 |
| Client - Titles > Overviews (8.0.0) | The Initial Location Order Overview report in some cases counts all material types under the same legal owner. | The report query has been improved to better count material types by legal owner. | 02/17/2025 |
| Manager – Systemwise messages | A rule for inbox is created if a CNF/M or CNH/M is bounced while inbox for CNxx is not coded. (And therefore, not processed with system rule CNH/I.) | If a CNx-mail message is bounced, it now applies that - regardless of any message preference method and - not older than 4 days, the message will always be resubmitted as a Form. |
02/17/2025 |
| Console – Catalog | The Console catalog search was referencing the patron collection rather than the staff collection. As a result, public title blocks were not visible and e-content titles were visible. Neither of those situations was describes. | The Console catalog search has been updated to reference the staff collection | 02/17/2025 |
| Client - Customer Administration | It was no longer possible to change a patron’s subscription multiple times in one day. | It is again possible to change the subscription multiple times in a row or in a day. A message is shown with a warning that the subscription has already been changed today. | 02/17/2025 |
| Console – Catalog | The count of available items for any title presented as 0, not the actual count of available items on the title. | The processing has been updated to accurately present the number of available items for a title | 02/17/2025 |
| REST API | When placing a hold, in some cases, the limit on the number of holds that can be placed was not applied correctly. | An adjustment has been made to how Wise looks at the max number of holds when you select a different branch as pickupBranch than the one you are logged in with. This means that the maximum number of holds limit is respected. | 02/17/2025 |
| Client - Catalog > Title > Items | When multiple items are selected on the title page, several actions can be performed via the right-click menu. One of these actions was "Relabel". However, relabeling cannot be performed on multiple items at once. When this action was chosen, only the top item of the selected list was changed. |
When selecting multiple items on the title page, the "Relabel" option in the right-click menu is now unavailable (it is 'greyed-out'). | 02/17/2025 |
| Client - Statistics and selections | When making selections with multiple selection rules, all the values would not persist if you selected multiple values and later wanted to make an adjustment. | If multiple rules and values are selected, this selection will be visible when the dropdown is reopened for adjustment. | 02/10/2025 |
| Client - Items > BCB/RCB reports > Action items list | Occasionally items are relocated (action H) to the order manager, which is not the intention. | The procedure has been updates so that the items no longer go to the order manager, but can be processed at the branch itself. | 02/10/2025 |
| Manager - Search | When the search option in the manager was opened and then “Close” was selected without entering a search term, a message appeared stating that at least 1 character had to be entered. | You can now select “Close” without any search criteria. | 02/10/2025 |
| Client > Order Administration > Search Order | When searching via the available search entries for an order (invoice), the full number of order lines was not always shown. | An adjustment has been made to the underlying query so that the information is now displayed as expected. | 02/10/2025 |
| New OPAC - My Account > Online payments | The page was titled “Ideal transacties”. | The page titled has been updated and now displays “Online payments.” | 02/10/2025 |
| Client > Statistics and Selections | If the greater than operator “>” was used for customers - BIEB-GEBR - number of loan, then actors with 0 loans were also shown. | The same table was called twice with the query. This was incorrect. An adjustment has been made so that the table is only called once and the selection has the expected effect. | 02/03/2025 |
