This release note describes updates to the Cicero Mobile release with version 1.17.2, 2026-06-16
The target audience is super users and system administrators.
New functionality
FBS-27570 Float groups extended with placement information
Float groups have been extended so that you can specify a full placement – department, section, collection, sub-collection – for each branch in the group. When a material is scanned at a branch in its float group, the placement is updated to what is configured for that specific branch. Each part can be set to "Keep current" so that the field is not changed when scanning.
The interaction with themes has been adjusted. The behaviour is unchanged if the theme itself has a float group, or if IMS controls the placement.
Existing float groups are not affected by the upgrade: All placement fields are set to "Keep current" so that materials float exactly as before, until specific placements are configured.
FBS-30653 Cataloguing of Marc21 records
The "Create bib. record" button has been moved from the bibliographic records search page to Catalogue->Cataloguing.
When creating, you can as before choose between available templates for records, as well as import from an XML file.
It is possible to edit Marc21 records from the detail view for bibliographic records. You can choose between simple and advanced cataloguing. In advanced cataloguing, all fields in the Marc21 record can now be edited.
FBS-32439 Send check-in receipt as notification
Under Check-in, an option has been added to send the check-in receipt as a notification to the borrower.
When finishing a check-in, the system sends a combined notification per borrower with the borrower's checked-in materials.
The notification can be configured under Admin->Notifications.
FBS-33827 Transfer of shelf mark to IMS
For libraries with integration to Cicero Catalogue and material logistics system (e.g. IMS):
When sending notifications with bibliographic record data, the configuration for Shelving system is now used to determine which data is transferred. You can choose between Classification and Shelf mark.
For users of DBC, it is always Classification that is sent to IMS, regardless of the new configuration. There are thus no changes for DBC libraries.
Improvements and bug fixes
| Reference | Heading | Description |
| FBS-25089 | Interlibrary loan - problems with ItemRenewed | Interlibrary loan integration with Alma: Fixed an error that occurred when receiving ItemRenewed from Alma. Cicero has now been adapted so that the Ext.Answer field on the ItemRenewed message is no longer sent by Alma, and the message therefore no longer fails. |
| FBS-26353 | Material selection lists not updated immediately | Fixed some errors in the display of material selection lists: New records are now shown in the material selection list as soon as they are added. Filtering on lists with order lines now works correctly for recently created order lines. |
|
FBS-33440 Cherwell 24224 |
Closed material selection list cannot be opened | Fixed an error where you could not open a closed material selection list if it contained order lines without placement. |
| FBS-29792 | Marc21 subfields not displayed correctly in uppercase | For users of EDM Catalogue: Imported Marc21 records with uppercase subfields (e.g. field 245, subfield A) are now displayed correctly as uppercase when the record is opened in Cataloguing. |
| FBS-30332 | Patron can be changed on series/parallel reservations | On reservations of the type Series or Parallel, the Patron could previously be changed via the Patron history dropdown in the reservation details, even though the Patron field was supposed to be locked. This has now been fixed so that the borrower can no longer be changed on these reservation types. |
| FBS-30371 | Error when creating a note on a reservation with many characters | The note field on a reservation now validates the limit of 4000 characters and displays a clear error message instead of an unexpected error when the reservation is saved. |
|
FBS-30395 Cherwell 23811 |
Return material status in CMS API | Two new endpoints have been added to the CMS API for holdings lookup: - GET holdings/v6 - GET holdingsLogistics/v3 The two new endpoints include the material status for the returned holdings. See also the documentation for the CMS API: Cicero CMS Integration Specification |
|
FBS-30631 Cherwell 24016 |
Error in search with search suggestions for special characters |
For users of Cicero Catalogue: Search suggestions have been updated so that it is possible to search for titles with special characters using search suggestions.
|
| FBS-31775 | Missing translation for CMS users | Added missing translations for some permissions for CMS users (EXTERNAL_GET_MEMBERSHIP and EXTERNAL_PAY_MEMBERSHIP). |
|
FBS-31791 Cherwell 24016 |
Insufficient validation of IBAN field on borrower | Validation of the IBAN field on a borrower has been updated so that the field is now validated correctly according to rules for IBAN format. If a borrower has an existing, invalid IBAN number, this must be corrected manually before changes to the borrower's bank details can be saved. |
|
FBS-31971 Cherwell 24089 |
Filter "chips" in material search | Fixed an error where empty filter "chips" (Theme, Target audience, Material type) were shown on search pages when the search was reset. The filters are now only shown when a value is selected. |
|
FBS-32057 Cherwell 363371 |
Enforced reservations missing on picking list | Enforced reservations on a specific material are now shown correctly on the picking list, even if the borrower group does not have reservation permissions for the relevant material group. |
| FBS-32090 | Error on conflict of CMS user name | When creating a CMS user, a meaningful error message is now shown when you try to create a user with a name that already exists. |
| FBS-32383 | Error in handling of external sources in EDM |
For users of EDM Catalogue: Fixed an error in the handling of external sources on authority records, so that the reference to the external source is no longer destroyed if the authority record is updated. |
| FBS-32768 | Periodicals from external sources | For users of Catalogue: When you search for and open a periodical record from an external source, the "Base record" tab is disabled (like the other tabs) until the record has been copied to the local catalogue. |
| FBS-32956 | AdLibris orders: Material groups can be used across agencies | For users of Catalogue: Fixed an error where a material group on one agency could mistakenly be used in AdLibris order import in another agency. |
|
FBS-33064 Cherwell 370866 |
Editing of EDM Agents | Fixed an error where the EDM detail view hung if the entered external id could not be looked up. Changes in the detail view can now be saved even if the id cannot be looked up. |
|
FBS-33079 Cherwell 24165 |
Correct display of field indicators in Marc records |
The display of records in Marc format has been fixed so that field indicators 1 and 2 are now shown in the correct order. The display has further been fixed so that several consecutive space characters are preserved instead of being collapsed into one character. |
|
FBS-33383 Cherwell 24256 |
Error on duplicated import of records from external sources |
For users of Cicero Catalogue: It is now possible to copy records from external sources that already exist locally. When you try to copy a record from an external source that already exists locally, Cicero will now show a confirmation dialog instead of an error message. |
| FBS-33401 | Auto discarding rules do not use Section | LMS and Mobile: Fixed an error where discarding rules did not take the placement field Section into account when marking materials for discarding. Auto discarding will now correctly handle rules configured with a specific section. |
|
FBS-33641 Cherwell 24271 |
Error on bulk editing of items | Fixed an error in material search where loading a CSV file with duplicated material numbers could cause an error when you tried to update the materials. Duplicated material numbers in the CSV file will now only appear once in the search result list. |
|
FBS-33644 Cherwell 24273 |
Cannot select delivery branch for subscription | When you create a new subscription, you can now select Delivery branch among all branches. |
|
FBS-33690 Cherwell 24280 |
Error in display of count when editing materials | When bulk editing materials, the correct count is now shown, instead of "null", in the text "Save changes for all x search results" |
|
FBS-32644 Cherwell 369529 |
Search for records with multiple languages | Updated indexing of field 041 so that searching for titles with several different languages specified in field 041 now works correctly. |
|
FBS-32993 Cherwell 24168 |
SIP2 client issues when LMS is down | SIP 2 integration: Status response from Cicero now better reflects the current state of the system. |
