Bug fixes

  • You can now view more accurate Document Delivery Filled Turnaround Time values for ILL requests that began as standard loan requests but were later converted to the document delivery fulfillment type. Previously, these types of requests were overstating the document delivery filled turnaround time values in reports. The historical data back to July 2022 will be updated to reflect the corrected values.
  • You can now view a more accurate Document Delivery Request Detail report, containing only your own document delivery requests. Previously, ILL requests that began as standard loan requests but were later converted to the document delivery fulfillment type would erroneously show up in this report if you were part of the lender string on the original loan request.
