Ability to suppress "Send additional Text Message Notification"
Our consortium does not have the text message option for patrons, but Vega Discover has a checkbox in the patron Account section for "Send additional Text Message Notification" that we cannot remove. This is very confusing for patrons (and staff). We should have the ability to remove this text and the associated checkbox.

Ability to open resources in new tab
From one of our staff members:
When you are looking at an item's page and it has the categories underneath like Reading Level, Related Resources, Topics, You May Also Like, etc., I've noticed that some categories allow you to open items in a new tab, but others don't. For example, Related Resources and Topics will let you open items in a new tab, but not Reading Level or You May Also Like (see attached).
These categories only let you open the image in a new tab, and right-clicking submenus like "check availability" just brings you to a new page searching…

Keep bookmark search when hitting "back" after clicking on search result
Currently, when you do a bookmark search and select a result and then hit either the back button on the browser or on the record page, the search disappears and you have to do the search over again. Our patrons find this confusing and inconvenient.

Availability filtering in bookmarks
Searching by Location + Availability should only show things that are currently available at that location and not items that are assigned not available at that location, but available elsewhere.
By not limiting the location search, it makes it less useful for our patrons who are trying to search for things that are available at specific branches.

Ability to see patron lists in Patron Assist mode
We recently transitioned from BibCore to Discover, and one of our biggest issues has been the migration of lists. We've been trying to help patrons troubleshoot their list issues, but it's hard to do when we can't actually see the lists. Being able to see lists in patron assist is critical for our patrons.

Item record detail in popup - show status
Requesting to view the Item Status (Checked Out, On Shelf) on the popup when viewing Item details. This would be helpful for creating screenshots, which may be used for staff workflows, instruction sheets and support tickets.
Repeatable effort:
Open record in Vega Discover.
Click arrow for Edition Information.
Click arror for desired edition.
Row includes: Location, call Number, Status, Due Date (if applicable) and Message (if applicable).
Click (i) Item Details.
Popup includes: Title, Location, Call Number, Item ID, Barcode. *Requesting Item Status in this view.6 votes -
Available location needs to be the same boldness as "on shelf at one more more locations"
Please make the "available at" text and icon the same size as the "On shelf at one or more locations" text. At least once a week we have patrons come in who believe that something is on the shelf, because the availability for our library is unclear and the icon is so tiny and not filled in, making it very easy to not understand that an item is not actually here. I think more visibility to this would at least help; there's no reason the icon should be so much smaller and not filled in at minimum. Thank you.

Show Sierra Message in Vega account Portal
We would like Sierra pop-up messages to be displayed in the patron account in Vega.
We use these messages to communicate important information to our patrons. As more of our services are now self-service, patrons have fewer opportunities to interact with staff at the service desk. We therefore need an effective way to communicate with them directly through the systems they use.
We understand that other libraries have previously requested this functionality and that the suggestion has since been closed. However, we still consider this an important feature for effective communication with our patrons, particularly when we need to share…

Add possibility to hide / anonymize personal information in the account portal
Some of our patrons have pointed out that they feel uncomfortable with their home adress being "protected" by just a 4-digit PIN and are worried about dataleaks.
We would like that fields like the adress, e-mail adress and phone number should be anonymised in the account portal, ex. w***.l**@g.c* instead of writing out the full e-mail adress. This way this data would be unusable if someone manages to access someone elses account.
It would also be good if libraries could decide to toggle on/off visibility for certain fields, in a similar way to how we…

Option to hide Series Statement in Roll-Up
Vega Discover currently displays a single Series Statement at the top of a roll-up, even when there are multiple editions attached. This is generally fine for an actual series (e.g. Chronicles of Narnia), but it very confusing when it's a publisher-based Series Statement (e.g. Norton Anthology Edition, DK Classics, Penguin Readers, etc.). In that case, the information is incorrect when other editions are included in the roll-up, which is often the case in those situations. For a foreign title, this is even more of an issue, where a patron might be looking for a particular translation from a specific publisher…

Hide specific Collections while keeping the Collections facet available
We would like the ability to hide some of our Collections in Vega, but still be able to display the Collections facet. Some Collections are only used by a few libraries, not the majority.

Checked Outdate visible on Catalog
Patron had issues with both the app and catalog as it no longer shows the due date of checked out items (as it did with our previous catalog). They would use this as a homeschooler to decide whether or not the book might feasibly be available by the time they get to that unit. Since it is not displayed on the item status, it's like it is a guessing game as to whether the book will get to them in time for them to use.

Able to view the item Collection from the rollup columns
We know that patrons can click on the Location of an item, to see more information, including the item's collection. However, patrons are not making it that far... Staff are wondering if the item's Collection could be added to the columns in the rollup? As seen in the image. We realize it is one click either way (clicking on the location or clicking to expand the rollup) but it seems patrons like the idea of having it in the rollup...

Sort the Limit By Collection setting list alphabetically
Content Scoping -> Limit Content -> Limit By Collection list should list the collections alphabetically. Not sure how they are currently sorted, but it is currently difficult to select these in a consortium setting.

Announcements - Permission for Content Admin
We would like to see Announcements (Premium option), which is currently under Settings > Page Customizations be part of the permissions for the Content Admin role. The person who handles our promotions for our homepage(s) would like to handle the announcements, as well (this is how it works for our website), but that would require making her a Site Admin, which is not appropriate - don't want her to be able to access all of the settings, nor does she want to see all of that. As Content Admin, she just sees the drop down for homepage(s) and goes from…

Delete multiple showcases
Option to delete multiple showcases at once as an admin.
Currently it is one at a time and if you are at the bottom of a large list, the update puts you at the top after removing a single showcase.8 votes -
Alphabetize Format Filter
The format filter in Discover is currently sorted by number of items in the filter (i.e. largest amount is Books, smallest is Book+Cassette). This is NOT intuitive for searching - if I want to apply a format filter, I'm going to look for the name of it alphabetically, not by how many items I think might be available in that format. With the addition of custom TOMs, this is even more important as we are adding more formats available to filter by.

Customization of "Duration of temporary status (hours)" per branch
In the current configuration, libraries can only apply the “Duration of temporary status (hours)” setting as a global value across all items. We would like to request the ability to configure this setting at the branch level.
Circulation varies significantly across our branches. Some experience high turnover while others have low activity. As a result, the time required for staff to reshelve materials differs from branch to branch. Allowing this setting to be adjusted individually for each location would provide patrons more accuracy of where they can find items in the branch.8 votes -
Vega - Payments made via Polaris API / PayPal Payflow Pro integration should show up as Credit Card, rather than Debit Card
clarivate arbitrarily selected a PaymentMethodID of "13 - Debit Card" for all Vega Discover Fine/Fees payments. This makes all payments show up under the Debit Card category within Polaris Reports (e.g. "Financial Transaction by Payment Type"). The PaymentMethodID should actually be "12 - Credit Card," as all of these Vega transactions are actually processed via PayPal as credit card, regardless of whether the card is actually a debit card or a credit card.
5 votesNote that: PayPal does not deliver the payment card type used by the end user payee. Whatever is implemented here potentially in the future must be an all or nothing toggle for all payments received from paypal.

Geolocation authentication for Vega's patron registration
We would like to see Vega's patron registration to include geolocation authentication so we can limit patron registration to only those residing in NYS, and potentially just our service area.
