CapiraMobile release notes, August 2024

For users of consortial apps, the Library Information screen now auto-sorts to the user's home library

For members with consortial apps, when your users visit the Library Information screen, the list will automatically land on the home library that your users have selected. This prevents them from needing to scroll through the list to find their home library information. The libraries in the list will remain in alphabetical order so your users can easily find their way back to their library as they scroll.  

Users will now be able to enter barcodes in self-checkout manually 

Your users will now be able to manually enter an item barcode when using the app's self-checkout feature. The self-checkout screen will include a Manual Entry button that, when selected, will provide a pop-up to your users where they can enter an item’s barcode.  

This feature will alleviate troubles caused by poor lighting, unclear barcodes, and temporary camera functionality, as well as provide self-checkout to your community members who do not wish to give camera access to your library's app. 

Please see our self-checkout documentation for more information.

Clearer hours wording on the Library Information screen to indicate when the library will reopen 

Enhanced functionality on the Account Log In screen 

Your users will now see minor updates to the Account Log In screen. An x icon will appear at the right side of the field when your users start typing in their barcode allowing them to delete text in the Barcode field. Once your users begin typing in their PIN/Password, they can click on the eye icon to opt in to view text in the Password field. 

SirsiDynix Symphony library users  - Material, Audience, and Collection filters return results 

Material, Audience, and Collection filters can now be added to the Staff Dashboard for app users to utilize. Previously, these filters were not providing results when used during a search. 

SirsiDynix Symphony library users  - Exact item searches provide accurate results 

Exact item searches by your users no longer return duplicate items. Previously, exact item searches returned the same item twice in the results list, even when only one bibliographic item appears in your catalog. 

Linked account Digital Card Wallet correctly displays the associated account 

When opening their Digital Card Wallet from the Manage Account screen, your users with one or more linked accounts will now correctly see the Digital Card Wallet associated with the account they are viewing. Previously, when your user was viewing the Manage Account screen for User A and clicked on the Card Wallet button, they would be taken to the Digital Card Wallet for User B. 

Event feeds updates overnight 

Events at your library are now being updated overnight. Previously, events from previous days were remaining on your Event listing and new or changed events were not appearing. 

Holiday closing description correctly displays apostrophes 

Adding an apostrophe to your library's Holiday Closing Description no longer adds a backslash. This backslash was displayed in the Staff Dashboard and your library's app. For example, after saving "New Year's Day", the Staff Dashboard saved it as New Year\s Day.
