Display the Pickup Area for the holds listed in the account view
When looking at the customer account view, the holds list is only showing the holds pickup location and is missing the holds pickup area. We would like to include the pickup area to be listed so that the customer will know where to pick up the item.

Include $a only title in the exact match title boost
For titles with both a $a title and a $b subtitle. If the $a is an exact match for a search query that title should also be considered an exact match and boosted in the same way to the top of the search results.
When searching a word/phrase, results with an exact match of the search term(s) in the title of a search result should appear higher in search results than those with a partial match in the title due to 'stemming'. Example: Staff wrote in that they were searching for the book "Resolute" by Benjamin Hall and only the…

disable renew button
In the patron record checkouts it would be useful if the renew button would disappear completely if the item out has existing holds on it (like it does in the powerpac now). Why give the illusion you can renew something to then just be denied?

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.

Assign specific stat group for Sierra REST API Requests
We would like for Vega to allow specifying a statistics group w/Sierra REST API requests similar to what the III mobile app does.
Vega has never sent a statistics group with Sierra REST API requests (ex. renewals) and the current behavior is that the request is logged under statistics group 0. We only learned of this - up until recently, the requests were actually falling under the stat group assigned for our Classic WebPAC web transactions.
We would prefer keeping stat group 0 for issues/errors (bad login used for SDA, i.e., no locations served assigned) vs. certain Vega transactions.

add On Order facet
Please work with libraries to determine a way to add an "on order" facet. We ingest all bibliographic records before we receive the physical copies. Library users can also place holds on these "on order" bibliographic records. Library users want to distinguish between "recently received" by the library and "recently ordered" by the library.

Support for multiple ADs for Vega User Management
Self-hosted Polaris Customers who have Vega Discover can allow a connection between their Polaris installation and Vega Discover for the purpose of using existing AD staff accounts for Vega user management. Currently, only one AD is supported. In consortia, there may be multiple ADs (e.g., in our environment, we have four).
We'd like there to be support for multiple ADs so consortia can benefit from the convenience of using AD credentials to access Vega Discover.

Include wildcard search option or browse option for call number searching
Currently call number searching only works if you search a call number exactly and in its entirety. Ideally, one should be able to do a browse search or use a wild card in a call number search

Clearer messaging when no email is present in the patron's account
A patron was trying to do a password reset, and we had to use the old PAC to realize that they had no email address in their account, since the messaging there clearly states the issue. Vega Discover just says the email 'failed to send'. Please update this messaging to more closely match the old PAC.

Add Fully Supported Redirect Between Site URL and Custom URL
Many Discover sites have two URLs:
- Site URL (sitename.region.iiivega.com)
- Custom URL
For example, ours are:
- berg.na4.iiivega.com
- search.bccls.org
We would like a true redirect to exist from iiivega.com to the custom one that is fully supported by Innovative and to have all activity such as login sessions persist, so there is a seamless transition.
While some libraries have customized this themselves to get it to work, we would like it to exist as an option in Vega Admin that is fully supported out of the box.

Filter by Location Limits Updates the Roll-Up Results
When a patron applies a location filter to Discover search results, the edition and items are limited to the location(s) selected.
The roll-up tabs are updated to remove items and editions at other locations.
The filtering is passed to Vega Mobile so the filtering experience matches.

Adding a List View within the Bookmarks Tab
We recently received a request to add a list format option for the bookmarks tab. A patron stated that they wanted, "A list format option of looking at the titles with visible author, pub date, brief description as it was in the old catalog". This could be similar to our options when searching to switch from list to grid view.

Ability to use facets to refine/filter Showcase results
It would be helpful for patrons to be able to refine Showcase results by selecting facets as in the advanced search (e.g., to filter by availability, location, format, etc.).

Disable Vega Discover Cookie Prompt for Kiosk Sites
As of May 8th, 2024, Patrons at Vega Discover Kiosks which run in incognito mode are now presented with a greyed-out screen with a small white cookie banner at the bottom. For patron privacy, best practice for any Kiosk deployed in a public space calls for the erasure of all browser cache and cookies at the end of the kiosk session. For a walk-up session, there is no clear instruction as to what action needs to be taken to get to the full site, clicking a small "x" in the lower right corner is neither intuitive nor accessible. This prompt…

Make New York Times best sellers available as a homepage showcase
Vega has a list of the current New York Times best sellers, which shows up on the detailed title page if you view that for one of the titles on the list (see attached screenshot). It would be great to be able to have this showcase on the library's homepage.

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.

Showcase Ordered Alphabetically includes 'The'
When a showcase is opened and it is sorted by title 'The' is not excluded. For example, The Gatsby would be under T when we think it should be under G.

Childrens materials only display in topics for childrens titles
It would be helpful that when displaying topics that only childrens titles appeared on childrens materials. Here is an example of topics gone bad: https://wkkids-wauk.na5.iiivega.com/search/card?id=282fcc98-e8d7-528f-9ced-72bf0e756c6f&entityType=FormatGroup

Passcode Reset Clarification or Enhancement
There's no way to modify the text that appears on the Passcode Reset page for Vega Discover. We've seen some patrons trying to enter their barcode with spaces as it is formatted on their library card which doesn't work. At a minimum, it would be great to indicate on this page to enter "Barcode/Username (no spaces, please)", or even better to have the input field ignore spaces entered. Thanks for the consideration and reducing some of our front line staff headaches.
