Main Features
Create an Invoice for Lost/Damaged Items
November 2024 Rapido URM-217307 URM-229347
This feature enables lending institutions to send invoices directly to borrowers for lost or damaged items. When the request includes a Shipping date, and the Lost/Damaged item fee is populated in the right pane of a request, and the Lost/Damage Invoice Printed value is No, the Send Invoice Lost/Damaged Invoice action is available.
Lost/damaged invoices can also be sent in bulk by selecting multiple requests and selecting the Lending Request Send Lost/Damaged Invoice action.
A message is displayed indicating which invoices were sent.
Successful invoices are invoices that were sent successfully. Failed invoices are invoices to partners without a Shipping date or if the Lost/Damaged Invoice Letter is disabled. Skipped invoices are for requests that are not relevant because there are no charges for those requests since the Lost/Damaged item fee field is null, or an invoice was already sent (Lost/Damaged Invoice Printed value is Yes).
Requests can also be faceted by Lost/Damaged Invoice Printed and Lost/Damaged Invoice Paid.
When the Partners Lost/Damaged Invoice Letter is enabled (default disabled) (Configuration > General > Letters > Letters Configuration), selecting the Send Invoice Lost/Damaged Invoice action emails the letter to relevant partners. The letter contains the invoice number, request identifier, and the lost/damaged charge for the request.
Invoices are also viewable on the Resource Sharing Partner Attachments tab (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners).
The invoice information is displayed in the right pane Request costs.
The Lost/Damaged Invoice Printed field represents if the Partners Lost/Damaged Letter was sent, values Yes or No.
The Lost/Damaged Invoice Sent Date field is the date the letter is sent.
The Lost/Damage Invoice Number is the invoice number for the library's reference. This field is auto-populated by Rapido and is editable.
ILLiad API Pickup Location
November 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-222052
The ILLiad API integration now includes the pickuplocationid and pickuplocationname which are populated by the ShippingOptions field.
Hide Resource Sharing Blank Form Link
November 2024 RapidoURM-211942
It is now possible to hide the link to the blank resource sharing form.
Document Delivery Rules for Automatic Emails
November 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-228008
Libraries can choose to have digitally delivered requests automatically notify users once the requested material is made available by the lender's shipping action. Additionally, there are scenarios or preferences for libraries to enable borrowing staff to mediate the delivered documents prior to delivery to end users. Previously, this mediation was determined by the setting of the parameter borrower_document_delivery_send_automatically (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings). The parameter setting applied to all users. This functionality is now controlled by document delivery rules (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Send Borrower Document Delivery Rules). The Output Parameters for the default document delivery rule is True by default. When set to True, documents are delivered automatically. When set to False, emails are not forwarded automatically, and this action must be manually performed by staff. With the document delivery rules, the available rules parameters are Partner, User Group, or User Statistical Category. Document delivery mediation rules can apply labels to the requests.
Parameter settings for borrower_document_delivery_send_automatically will automatically be applied to the document delivery settings.
This functionality does not apply to URLs sent from a lending request. When a lender fills a request using a URL link, whether or not the URL is sent directly to the patron is controlled by the rs_send_url_directly_to_patron parameter settings.
Override Local Holding Setting
September 2024 Rapido Idea Exchange URM-197353
RapidILL checks for self ownership, and requests identified as owned receive the local holding status. When the checkbox Ignore Local Holding (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners > Parameters tab) is checked, libraries skip this self ownership check by RapidILL.
This configuration may be of particular interest to libraries using Rapido mediation rules that support staff workflows around local holdings. This includes mediation rules (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules) with Self Ownership or Self Owned And Available with the operator values set to true. Mediation rules with either of these parameters support library workflows that enable libraries to fill these requests before they are sent to the RapidILL network. If staff decisions are to allow for fulfillment by their partners, these requests would then be sent to the RapidILL network. The requests can be stopped by RapidILL again and assigned the status of Local holding. Currently, staff then need to use the Override local holding action for the request to actually route to other partners. The Ignore Local Holding setting on the RapidILL partner can support staff who are using mediation rules to handle requests with self ownership/self owned and available.
Requests with a mediation rule (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules) to stop requests for self-owned resources (Self Ownership = True and Self Owned And Available = True) are stopped regardless of the Ignore Local Holding setting.
Digital Requests for ISO Partners Without an Email Address Alert
September 2024 Rapido Idea Exchange URM-183751
When a lender ships a digital request for borrower who is an ISO partner, and the borrower email address is not supplied, when [ISO]REQUESTER_EMAIL_EMPTY (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Manage Lending Alerts) is enabled (default), an alert is now added to the lending request indicating that the borrower does not have an email address.
My Pods as a Lender Tab Added to Rapido Dashboard
September 2024 Analytics and Insights URM-216047
The My Pods as a Lender tab was added to the Rapido Borrowing and Lending Requests data visualization dashboard. It contains three visualizations:
- My turnaround time experience per pod (days) – a chart that displays how many days it took a request to be fulfilled per pod
My turnaround time experience per pod (days)
- My fulfillment per pod – a table that displays how many requests were fulfilled per pod and the fill rate per pod
My Fulfillment per Pod
- My lending volume across the pods – a pie chart that displays the library's overall lending volume per pod
My Lending Volume Across the Pods
For more information, see Borrowing and Lending Requests Analytics Dashboard.
NERS: Communication with Partners
It is now possible to email a partner directly from the borrowing and lending task list requests. This option eases workflows, such as when a lender wants to convey limitations, a borrowing library wants to ask a question, or for any type of messages such as a thank you note. These messages are saved in the request for future reference.
Correspondence can be initiated using the Send email to partner action or from the Start Communication button on the Communications tab.
- Edit a correspondence to view the full correspondence.
- Reply to a communication to send another correspondence. Each reply increases the counter in the Communications Answers column.
- Add a Response to paste the partner's response to your correspondence.
- Close the correspondence. Note: Closing the correspondence removes the Communications indicator from the request; but the correspondence remains accessible from the Communications tab under the All or Closed filters.
My Pods as a Borrower Tab Added to the Rapido Dashboard
August 2024 Analytics and Insights URM-223589
The My Pods as a Borrower tab was added to the Rapido Borrowing and Lending Requests data visualization dashboard. It displays information about your pods in the following sections:
- My fulfillment per POD – displays a pie chart displaying the number of requested filed per POD.
- Turnaround time activity per POD (days) – the average turnaround time for physical requests per POD from request to fulfillment
- Requests filled by Partner – the number of borrowing requests fulfilled per partner in the rota. You can filter the results by month and choose to display the results of the current year.
For more information, see Borrowing and Lending Requests Analytics Dashboard.
Rialto Integration
July 2024 Rapido URM-181457 URM-176453 URM-176027
Rapido institutions can now use Rialto from a borrowing request to order highly requested titles and books that are unavailable from lending partners. When selecting the Search in Market action, the Rialto results are displayed in a slider window, enabling you to purchase materials in a streamlined end-to-end workflow.
- Keywords
- Author

NERS: Rapido Request Form Mandatory Fields Configuration
This feature enables library staff to configure which fields are mandatory fields on the Rapido Request form. Library staff can now configure which fields in the Rapido form (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Request Forms > Rapido Request Forms Customization) are mandatory fields.
Article Title, Pickup Institution, Pickup Location, and Email remain mandatory fields and cannot be configured.
For more information, see Customizing the Request Form.
Harvest External Resources for Resource Sharing
When the parameter request_it_enabled (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), the Request It! menu option is available for logged in users who have permission to use the blank form.
When selecting the Request It! menu option, patrons can drag the Request It! bookmarklet to their browser.
Article Galaxy Cloud App: Purchases When Price is Unknown
When accessing the Article Galaxy cloud app, a green check indicates that the cloud app has recently been updated. When hovering over the green check, a tooltip explains that the app has been updated.
The latest version enables users to request articles whose price is currently unavailable.
Peer-to-Peer Partner Parameters
May 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-184846
Some Ex Libris resource sharing customers have inquired about integration with OCLC resource sharing products through the open standard, ISO 18626. This integration is not currently supported and therefore, this integration cannot be implemented until further notice. Accordingly, the only method available to Ex Libris resource sharing customers who want to integrate with an OCLC resource sharing solution (i.e., WorldShare ILL or Tipasa) is the existing request transfer message method, which requires a subscription to the relevant OCLC resource sharing solution.
Create Invoices for Partners
April 2024 Rapido URM-194998 URM-213237 URM-213024
This feature enables lending institutions to send invoices directly to borrowers for requests that include fees using the Send Invoice to Partner job, (Inactive by default) (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Rapido Jobs Configuration).
You can specify which partners should be emailed invoices (default All). The partners available in the list are partners with at least one lending request attached to them with a processing fee. The Job processing start date is the last date the job ran. If the job has not run, the Job processing start date defaults to today's date.
The Send Invoice to Partner job report can be accessed from Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Monitor Jobs > History tab with a list of how many invoices were sent successfully and the reason for those that failed, along with the name of the invoices that failed and why.
When the Send Invoice to Partner job runs successfully, the Partner Invoice Letter (Configuration > General > Letters > Letters Configuration) is emailed to relevant partners detailing the costs for the request.
Invoices are also viewable on the new Resource Sharing Partner Attachments tab (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners). Attachments can also be added manually.
- Invoice Sent Date — The date the invoice was sent to the partner.
- Invoice Number — The invoice number that contains this request charge information.
- Invoice Printed — An indication if an invoice was already created for this request.
Invoices can also be sent in bulk by selecting multiple requests and selecting the Lending Request Send Invoice action.
Successful invoices are invoices that were sent successfully. Failed invoices are invoices to partners without an email address. Skipped invoices are for requests that are not relevant because there are no charges for those requests or an invoice was already sent.
Requests can also be faceted by Invoice Printed.
Rapido Lending API Integration
April 2024 Rapido URM-211383
Rapido now includes a dedicated Lending Request API for seraching, retrieving and updating invoice fields and cost fields.
Automatic Borrowing Partner Creation
April 2024 Rapido URM-210180
For lenders who receive borrowing requests from partners who do not share the same pod, or the request is not a Rapido request, borrowers can now be created automatically. When the parameter rapido_automatically_create_partner (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Other Settings) is true (default false), borrowing partners are automatically created for requests that are not Rapido requests and the partners do not share a pod. These automatically generated partners are only available for ISO 18626 and NCIP P2P.
If any required information is missing from an auto-generated partner, the auto-generated partner missing mandatory information alert is added to the lending request to indicate that information is missing that will prevent the request from being filled.
New Rapido Borrowing and Lending Requests Analytics Dashboard
March 2024 Analytics URM-184929 URM-210064
The new Borrowing and Lending Requests data visualization dashboard is available for Rapido Analytics. It contains several tabs, each of which displays several reports concerning your borrowing and lending requests. Some information that is displayed includes the number of requests per partner, average arrival times, and rejected lending requests:
The following tabs are available:
- Fulfilled Borrowing Requests per Lender
- Fulfilled Borrowing Requests per Borrower
- Average Arrival Time for Borrowing Requests per Lender
- Resource Sharing Borrowing Requests per Requester User Group
- Cancelled Borrowing Requests per Request Status
- Rejected Lending Requests per Borrower
Conditional Terms of Use for Digital Requests
February 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-205914
Lenders filling digital requests can now indicate whether the supplied document has terms of use. If shipping terms of use are applied, the request requires manual handling by the borrowing staff. Terms of use can indicate requirements such as supplying the document as a physical non-returnable printout for copyright compliance. This new option enhances copyright control by enabling the lender to specify to the borrower that the document cannot be shared with the patron. As a lender, you can enable the relevant terms from Configuration > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Shipping Terms of Use. By default, only the NONE term is enabled.
Resource Sharing Off Time Updates
January 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-131586
Previously, Rapido users needed to update both Alma and RapidILL when setting their library off times. Now, when the parameter rs_update_rapid_with_lending_offtime (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), when updating the Organization Unit Details Inactive dates range in Alma (Configuration > General > Libraries > Add a Library or Edit Library Information > Summary tab > check Temporarily inactive for lending), the date range in RapidILL is automatically updated with the data configured in Alma.
- The start date must be less than one year in the future.
- The duration cannot be longer than 30 days.
- Setting this configuration to true means that the configured inactive dates override the dates submitted using RapidILL webpages.
- The temporarily inactive checkbox remains selected after the date range until it is manually deselected.
Self Registered User Partners
January 2024 Rapido URM-205034
Lending Request Price Fields for Net Lenders
January 2024 Rapido URM-207885
Lending Requests now include Request costs on the right pane of a request.
Net Lender Copyright Billing Settings
January 2024 Rapido URM-196895
To assist with copyright billing, the Resource Sharing Partner (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners) now includes an Enable Direct Charge Functionality checkbox (default unchecked). When checked, library staff can set the partner who is responsible for the Copyright Payment when payments apply. The field enables the lender to define if their partner has explicitly requested the lender to pay the copyright fee on their behalf and bill them for it or to choose to handle the fee on their own.
Additionally, when the Enable Direct Charge Functionality checkbox is checked, library staff can check the Use Consolidated Billing checkbox to consolidate billing for the most active customers so that billing will occur monthly.
Maximum Request Costs for Net Lenders
January 2024 Rapido URM-196896
Due to the wide variance of possible fees (including copyright fees and page overage fees), the Resource Sharing Partner (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners) now includes an Enable Direct Charge Functionality checkbox (default unchecked). When checked, library staff can configure a Maximum Request Cost to apply to borrowing requests. This field enables the lender to apply fees up to the maximum cost that the borrowing partner accepts without additional approval. If no value is added to the maximum request cost field, no limit is applied to the requests.
The lending rules only apply to Rapido digital requests or non-Rapido physical and digital requests. Physical Rapido requests apply the policy terms. See Adding a Physical Lending Policy.
When changes are made to a request, the lending rules only apply when the changes are saved.
If a request is received that exceeds the maximum borrowing cost allowed, an alert is added to the request.
If the REQUEST_COST_EXCEEDED alert is manually removed (by selecting Remove Alerts), the Override Max Cost checkbox is automatically checked, and the Override Max Cost Amount is set to 0. A zero amount in the Override Max Cost Amount field indicates that there is no maximum cost.
If the lender proceeds to ship the request, and the request exceeds the maximum request cost, a confirmation message is displayed confirming that the request should still be filled. When selecting Confirm, the alert remains on the request.
Additional Enhancements
- November 2024 Rapido URM-226577 URM-229348
Rapido increases efficiencies by creating partners automatically and using those automatically created partners for all the requests coming from or going to a specific library. To enable libraries to have greater flexibility in how they work with a specific library, Rapido now supports the option to have two different partners for the same library. One is the automatically created partner with the built in workflow profiles, and the other is an ISO partner manually created by the library.This enables libraries to define specific behavior when interacting with that library when the request is not coming from a Rapido pod. Examples of this preference may include sharing patron information, delivery delays, etc. Libraries that do not need any special behavior for particular partners can continue to have only the Rapido generated partner for all requests with the other library. - November 2024 Rapido URM-211180 SF: 06293095
When the parameters Invalid ISSN or Invalid ISBN (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapdio Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules) are set to Yes, requests containing an invalid ISSN or ISBN are stopped for mediation. These can then be handled to ensure that the matching/locate process is not being done based on invalid ISBNs/ISSNs.This feature removes invalid ISBNs/ISSNs, and a note is applied to the request indicating that the invalid ISSN or ISBN was removed from the request, even when the mediation rule is not set.
Invalid ISBNFor more information, see Available Mediation Input Parameters.

Currently, there are situations in which duplicate partners exist for the same library. Rapido cannot identify which partner record to utilize when creating and updating requests associated with the partners which have duplicate records. This can result in a lack of request updates. In order to eliminate duplicate partners, partners records can now be merged into a combined partner.NZ partners and NGRS partners can be merged into but not merged from.
When a duplicate partner exists, the duplicate partner can be merged into the correct partner and all requests associated with the duplicate partner are transferred to the correct partner.
Additionally, the Resource Sharing Partner List now includes a Rapido Partner column to indicate if a partner is a Rapido partner in addition to an ISO partner. Additionally, the list now includes a Notes column indicating when a partner has a note. The Notes column is hidden by default and can be enabled from the Settings icon .
