Keep Existing Kiosk Homepage Configuration When Upgrading to Vega Premium
This seems to be more of a bug than a feature, but if you are a Basic customer and upgrade to Premium, the one home page you've configured, which also appears on your kiosks, is removed and must be reconfigured individually for each kiosk site (as well as collection sites).
While the documentation -https://knowledge.ag-software.clarivate.com/vega-discover/admin/ConfigureHomepage.htm - states, "Vega Discover customers can configure one home page, which also appears on your kiosks. Your home page can contain a maximum of five rows of content. If you have Vega Discover Premium or if your library belongs to a consortium, you can configure…

cookies
The managing cookie prompt needs to change ASAP. There are 2 main issues with the current prompt: 1) The entire screen is grayed out until you acknowledge the cookie prompt (something I know others have posted about) which means patrons and even staff who don't realize you need to x out of it or manage your preference get confused about why nothing is working. 2) It doesn't save your preference at all so if you close the tab/window or even log into an account you get the same cookie prompt again and again, something other sites don't do, which seems…

Location filter needs to be alphabetical
Instead of having the location filter list location by number of available copies, please change to alphabetical order, so customers can more easily find the location they want in the same place every time.

Use Patron ID for Patron Account Information for linking customer accounts

Annotate booklists and showcases
When adding books to a booklist, we want to be able to annotate the overall list and individual titles so that customers will know the purpose of the list and how the individual titles fit into that theme/purpose. Quick annotations definitely help people decide which titles they would like to borrow.

Add filter for circulating items
Our customers are repeatedly asking to be able to have a filter for including only circulating items (excluding reference materials). This is particularly useful for materials that are heavily collected in our Research Center and Resource Centers. If customers could limit to circulating, they could more easily find items they can check out, and we have received multiple requests for this feature.

Emailed booklists look like spam - need to customize
When you email a booklist to someone, it looks like spam. That email template needs to be customizable so it is recognizable as related to the library and a legitimate email.

Stop displaying old titles as "On Order" when all existing copies have been withdrawn
Currently, when there are no remaining items on a bib record, Discover shows the status of that title as "On Order," when in reality, it just needs to go through a variety of processes before it is suppressed or deleted from the catalog. The "On Order" status should only appear if there is an open order in Sierra for that title.

Vega Reports: track users that leave Vega Discover to access an external third-party resource via resource URLs
Problem:
Our library spends a significant amount of staff time and resources ingesting and maintaining third-party MARC records (e-content providers, databases, and external links) into Vega Discover. Currently, we lack the visibility and metrics needed to determine whether this workload directly benefits our stakeholders or influences patron behavior.Objective
Track and quantify patron redirect events—specifically when a user clicks a URL within a resource record to leave Vega Discover for an external, third-party resource.Data Requirements (Desired Metrics & Dimensions)
The tracking solution should capture the following:Target Domains: The top-level domains patrons are redirecting to (e.g., overdrive.com, ebscohost.com).

Cover images displayed for saved searches in Account Portal should reflect newest content
We received feedback from a patron to say that the Saved Search view in Account Portal is not as helpful as the previous view since you cannot tell at a glance that there are new materials that meet the search criteria.
Previously, if a search was sorted by "newest first" you could see at a glance when new titles were added. With the current display in Account Portal, the latest title does not show up on top of the cover image view. A patron would have to run each search daily to see if there are any new titles and…

kids catalog book cover display
The kids homepage carousels force our covers into stretched and awkward sizes (see image). The adult page seems to (1) show the covers larger (2) has less space between titles and (3) adjust to their cover dimensions. The kids looks so jankity.

It would be helpful if clicking on an author's name would result in a list of titles by that author.
It would be helpful if clicking on an author's name in Vega would result in a list of titles by that author, in addition to the short synopsis currently associated with the author's name.

Suppress bib records with no available items
I have been cleaning up holds, and found a lot that have the "Display in PAC" box checked in the bib record because at one time that was a record that had items attached. Now the items are all withdrawn, missing, lost, etc., so the bib still shows up in Discover, but there are no items for patrons to place holds on. I'd love it if there was a way that Discover would look at the item status mapping settings, and if there are no items available on a bib, automatically suppress that bib. In the future if an item…

Decrease font size of customer information in Account Portal
Our customers are complaining that the customer information is too big in the Account Portal. They say it is too easy for other people to see when logging in on library computers and it requires them to scroll too much for other information. They are asking that we make that particular information smaller.
