Add note when payment is made via Vega in Transaction Summary
Add a note in patron's transaction summary to indicate that a payment was made in Vega. For example, when a payment is made in the PAC a note is added to the patron's transaction summary indicating that the payment was made via PAC, as shown in the attached photo. Currently when a payment is made via Vega the note field is left blank not indicating how the payment was made. Ideally, the message should read "Payment made via Vega," but a note of some kind should be generated to indicate how a payment was made.

index 245 subfield c
Please index 245 subfield c for Vega searching. This would allow for broader author retrieval, especially when the name on the work doesn't match the controlled heading. For instance, "Tomb of Sand" cannot be retrieved by searching the author, Geetanjali Shree, as shown of the cover (and in 245 subfield c) because the controlled heading (100 field) is Gītāñjali, Śrī.

Search name of showcase
Ability to search the name of a showcase. (This is similar to a feature BiblioCore has where patrons can type "new dvds" and retrieve a pre-limited search results). So, this would enable libraries to create a showcase called New DVDs, and patrons would be able to easily find those materials.

Sharing Showcases across libraries
Similar to a feature BiblioCore offers, libraries want to see Lists that other libraries across the country/world are creating. Enhancement request could be to give libraries the ability to Share Showcases outside their organization.

Items with different content shouldn't be incorrectly combined into work displays
This is related to the suggestion "All metadata and content displayed for a work should use the same instance ISBN", but more specifically I'm seeing a problem with movies with different release years, but the same title (and same DVD publisher).
I can see this making sense for certain things - for example a book like The Grapes of Wrath, which we have several different editions of. The text is basically the same - there may be different forewords or other supplementary material, but for the most part it's less likely that a patron will be choosy about which edition…

Have Vega pull literary form from 655 fields or 6xx $v subfields, instead of 006/16.
This would provide for significantly more flexibility and allow for the use of more modern genre/form terms, such as 'graphic novels'.

Mandatory punctuation in the search string
Don't require mandatory punctuation in a search string to improve search results. For example, there are authors with hyphenated last names (authorized heading). If a customer searches these authors without a hyphen, Vega does not display results. Vega requires the hyphen to be present to display results by this author.

Disable No Preference Selected in Patron's Setting
When staff members create a patron account in Polaris, our default notification preference is email. We'd like the ability to disable or hide the "No preference selected" option from Discover so patrons are forced to select one of our supported notification methods.

Allow us to view all of the books in a series from the item record
Currently, when you go into the item record for a book there is so much useless information yet trying to simply see all the books in that series isn't listed. There is an option for related resources which is library jargon to patrons and isn't the same as simply having a display of other books in this series to make it easier for patrons.
Also, instead of just telling me (unreliably) if a book is part of a series, it should tell people what number a book is in the series. Doing detective work to figure out if a book…2 votes -
Displaying movie info
Movies need to have clearer display of the actors, director, etc. when you go into the item record. Some movies have been remade and I currently have a lot of trouble locating the right movie for my patron when they tell me the year it was made and I can't even find that in the item record because it only tells me when that disc edition was made not when the movie itself was first made. I'll also get patrons who give me a title where there are several movies with that title and I currently can't even find a…

Allow the hold note field to be used by Vega patrons when requesting a material
This has a multitude of reasons why this can be helpful. In our case use, patrons let us know in the hold note field that they wish to pick up their materials through the drive through.

Add Vietnamese to the list of customizable languages
Vietnamese would be a great addition to the list of available languages in Discover's configuration as we serve a large Vietnamese community.

Change the website title of Passcode Reset webpage in Vega
To avoid potential patron confusion the ability to change the Vega website title from Welcome to Vega to something specific to your library when opening the Forgot My Passcode link would be helpful. For example, it might read "Library Name/Abbreviation Passcode Reset," which should eliminate any doubts about the nature of the webpage.

Add COPPA to patron registration
Currently when someone applies through our Vega link (which goes to PowerPAC) for a library card and their name matches an existing cardholder, they get the following error message: "A patron with this name is already registered. Please contact the library for clarification."
It would be helpful if other fields could be cross-checked for duplicates, not just the first and last names. We receive numerous reports of this monthly from staff across the consortium, but we have no sense of how often it's actually happening.7 votes -
Support custom Header and Footer code on the 404 (page not found page)
We would like any custom header and footer code to be active/enabled on the 404 page. This would add a seamless user experience no matter where the patron ends up on the website.

Editing eMaterial Vendor Information
Sometimes patrons can be confused concerning eMaterials not displaying the app that they receive the materials on. Being able to edit the vendor name under Edition Information (Additional Information in our case) would be helpful in mitigating that confusion.

holds
Our customers have asked for the ability to suspend a hold to a future date rather than "Freeze" and "unfreeze". They don't want to check back after vacation to unfreeze all their holds, they just want to choose a future date.

Showcase Display
We would like more automated showcase displays like the NYT Bestsellers. Since we are in Canada, we specifically would like to see the Globe & Mail Bestsellers as an option.

Ability to suppress English (US)
In the Localization settings configuration page, all languages listed can be selected or unselected except for English (US). Although we can make a different one the default, for those countries wanting to have a different English option (CA in our case), we have no option but having two English languages listed in the drop down menu. We would like to be able to suppress the English (US) option.

Showcase metadata and management
We have a number of different staff creating and updating Showcases across our system. Currently, it is getting difficult to manage this as staff are beginning to duplicate each other's work and it is difficult to know which showcases are current and which are scheduled or embedded somewhere. When adding Showcases to Vega Homepage, it is impossible to distinguish between two showcases with the same name since no details display other than the title in the home page editor.
Please consider adding some features to improve showcase maintenance and management:
