The Orchid Release updates existing apps and features, including acquisitions, data import, circulation, and more.

The Orchid Release offers platform enhancements that provide librarians with a better user experience in the FOLIO platform. These improvements include:

Acquisitions: New "Version History" feature displays the history of edits for the Order and Order line records
Data Import: Import orders in MARC format
Circulation: Updates to lost item processing fees and fines to support actual cost
Cataloging: Manual authority control and new reporting functionality
Agreements: Usability enhancements in the user interface and search enhancements for the internal knowledge base

In addition to the updates mentioned above, there are continued improvements to OAI-PMH, ERM, INN-Reach, bulk edits, and other platform enhancements.

Director of Technical Services at the University of Chicago and Co-Chair of the FOLIO Product Council, Kristin Martin, explains the importance of a progressive LSP that meets every library's needs. "To keep up with evolving library workflows, FOLIO is committed to evolving with them. As more libraries implement the LSP, FOLIO developers are ready to enhance or replace platform components to meet their unique needs. The Orchid Release exemplifies FOLIO's commitment to listening to its members and offering the enhancements that greatly improve their experience."
